Our work spans the entire security lifecycle, from AppSec and Security Architecture to detection and response, as well as pen testing, managing security risk and ensuring compliance.

Dojo home and away

We believe our best work happens when we collaborate in-person. These "together days" foster communication, drive innovation and spark our brightest ideas.



That's why we have an office-first culture. This means working from the office 4+ days per week.



With offices across Europe, we know a thing or two about staying dynamic. Need deep focus? Head to a quiet zone. Big ideas? Collaboration spaces have you covered. Just here for a catch-up? Our social hubs make it easy. Do work that counts, in spaces made for you.

Question: what's curious, relentless, and customer obsessed?

If you're keen to know the answer, you're a third of the way to meeting our Dojo values.



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.
