About Us
At Dines, our mission is simple yet powerful: to serve those who serve. We empower hospitality businesses with a cutting-edge POS and payments platform, helping renowned festivals, events, theatres, and restaurants across the UK and Ireland operate seamlessly.
We’re more than just a technology provider - we’re a trusted partner built on three pillars: Relationships, Service, and Delivery. Our clients love us because we show up when it counts and always have their backs.
As we grow, we’re looking for passionate individuals who share our vision and want to build something meaningful. If you thrive in fast-moving, collaborative teams where your work truly matters, we’d love to hear from you.
The Role
We’re looking for a Backend Engineer to join our friendly, hands-on, and ambitious tech team. We're open to different experience levels – this could suit someone early in their engineering journey or someone a little more seasoned. We're more interested in your curiosity, drive, and alignment with how we work than in hitting a specific seniority box.
You'll help build and maintain the systems and services that power our internal tools and customer-facing platforms. Reporting to the CTO, you'll be instrumental in scaling our engineering capacity and accelerating our roadmap.
