If the following speak to you, let’s talk:

You’re curious. You have a real desire to learn and create. You’re relentless. You keep going even when it’s easier not to.  You’re customer-obsessed. You know how important customers are to what you do. 

Dojo home and away

We love collaboration. We have offices across Europe – that takes some dynamism.

Long-distance calls are a must, but we’ve always valued in-person work when it’s possible, especially meetings. We aim for asynchronous communication when we can though.

Don’t like rules? Nor do we. We avoid top-down policies – it’s all about teams having the power to fuel their success. 

At Dojo, you’re trusted to judge what you see and make the call in the best interest of our customers.
