    About the Role

    As a Junior Javascript Software Engineer you will be working alongside our support teams to capture requirements and implement a custom script layer for each new client. You'll need to quickly understand each new client's website and implement solutions using Javascript, so we expect candidates to have good experience of working with Javascript. You'll also work with our clients to refine their script layers over the lifetime of the client's relationship with Dotdigital. Your work will have a direct and lasting impact to our customers, with your work executing on millions of browsers daily.

    This is an entry level role with a potential progression path to a wider Software Engineering role; we'd love to see you grow with us and optimize the script development workflow.

    Working in the Product Engineering team, you'll work alongside Product Managers, Quality Assurance Engineers, and many other talented people. We ship regularly, with automated deployments at the click of a button, and when you join us, we want you to ship code to production in your first sprint.

    We prioritise customer success; and we're rigorous about security at every stage of the development lifecycle. Some of our problems are unique to large software – dealing with large datasets, maintaining very high throughput, and 24/7 platform uptime.

    We're remote Our product and technical teams are currently based in the UK, Poland, and South Africa and our 180 team members all work from home. We do make office and co-working spaces available, but that choice is up to you. We keep in touch with each other via Slack and Zoom and have a great collaborative culture. To top up our social batteries, we all meet up quarterly in person (we have a meetup per country) and work together for a day, and let off some steam with activities or tech talks.

    About You

    The Product Engineering team has five department values that we use to guide us, and we hope they'll resonate with you. They are:

    • Simplicity
    • Shipping fast, sustainably
    • Ownership
    • Be excellent to each other
    • Communication makes us stronger

    These are the essential technical skills we need you to bring to us

    • Solid Javascript skills
    • Knowledge of the browser technologies, including the DOM, HTTP, HTML and CSS
    • Excellent verbal and written communication skills
    • Experience of working within a Software Engineering team (git, PRs, scrum, agile, etc) - ideally a remote-first team.

    Over your time with Dotdigital, you'll likely also get involved with some of the following, so experience would be a plus

    • Python
    • Google BigQuery
    • CosmosDB
    • MongoDB
    • Azure Service Bus / Pulsar
    • RabbitMQ
    • Azure DevOps
    • .NET MVC / WebApi
    • Angular / React
    • nUnit
    • High performance / big data systems
    • Multitenant systems
    • Information security

    Why Us

    Don't just take our word for it - hear what your future colleagues have to say about working in our team:

    "Working at Dotdigital is a fulfilling experience. The job's nature and flexibility, combined with strong ethics, create a fantastic work environment. The camaraderie within the team is outstanding, ensuring you're never working alone—truly a great company with great people."
