About UsThe Tech Dojo India is our engineering arm, building the platforms our UK business runs on.
The RoleYou will build our next-generation, white-label workforce, payroll, and compliance platform for the UK market. It replaces a legacy system that processes real payrolls, real HMRC filings, and real money every week, so correctness matters as much as speed.
This is a hands-on build role, not a maintenance role. You will own features end to end: schema, API, UI, tests, and deployment.
What You Will Work On
- Multi-tenant, instance-per-brand architecture for a white-label product.
- Payroll, timesheet, and invoicing engines with money-accurate calculations.
- UK compliance workflows — CIS, VAT, PAYE, and HMRC filings.
- Integrations: accounting systems, e-mail/SMS providers, and government gateways.
- Admin tooling and reporting used daily by finance and operations teams.

- Experience: 3+ years shipping production web applications with TypeScript/Node and a modern React framework.
- Data Modelling: Strong relational data modelling and SQL — you can reason about schemas, migrations, and query performance.
- AI Proficiency: You already use LLM coding agents daily (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, or similar) and can show how they make you faster without letting quality slip. This is a hard requirement, not a bonus.
- Agile Mindset: Comfortable with agile delivery: short cycles, daily stand-ups, visible progress, and frequent code review.
- Pace & Ownership: Thrive in a fast-paced environment — small team, direct ownership, and decisions made quickly.
- Correctness: You write tests, you check edge cases, and you think about what happens with real money.
- Communication: Clear written and spoken English; you will work directly with UK stakeholders.
Nice to Have
- Payroll, fintech, accounting, or regulated-domain experience.
- Multi-tenant SaaS or white-label products.
- DevOps exposure — deployments, monitoring, and incident debugging.
Ways of Working
- Shift: UK business hours (approx. 12:30 pm – 09:30 pm IST, shifting with GMT/BST). Overlap with the UK team is essential.
- Location: Hybrid / work from home, and you must be able to come into our Gurugram office when asked — for planning, reviews, onboarding, or key delivery milestones.
- Agile: Two-week cycles, stand-ups, demos, and code review on every change.
Engagement Terms
- Contract: Full-time contractor engagement with The Tech Dojo India.
- Exclusive: You will work solely for The Tech Dojo India for the duration of the engagement. No other clients, employment, freelancing, or parallel projects.
- Path to Permanent: The contract can be converted to a full-time permanent role once the company is satisfied you are performing at the standard we expect. Conversion is at the company’s discretion and is based on demonstrated delivery, ownership, and fit.
