We’re looking for a world-class Software Engineer with 5+ years of strong, hands-on experience to join our team in Dubai.


This is not a role for someone who simply knows frameworks. We want an engineer who understands software engineering deeply, thinks clearly, solves difficult problems, takes ownership, and can build reliable, maintainable systems.


What we’re looking for


5+ years of serious, hands-on software engineering experience

Exceptionally strong problem-solving and analytical ability

Proactive and energetic, someone who sees an issue, investigates it, and fixes it properly

Excellent software engineering fundamentals

Strong understanding of system design, architecture, APIs, performance, scalability, testing, debugging, security, and clean code

Able to work independently and make sound technical decisions

Strong ownership mentality and a great attitude

Comfortable working closely with the business and understanding real-world requirements

Strong technical experience with


JavaScript / TypeScript

Node.js

Next.js

NestJS

Python

PostgreSQL

MySQL

REST APIs and modern backend architecture

Database design, indexing, query optimization, and performance

Git and professional development workflows

Automated testing and production debugging

Modern software development practices

You should be technically curious and stay current with modern frameworks, tools, AI-assisted development, infrastructure, and emerging technologies.


Some practical DevOps knowledge is a plus for example Docker, CI/CD, cloud deployments, Linux, monitoring, and troubleshooting production environments but this is fundamentally a software engineering role, not a DevOps position.


AI is a tool and not a replacement for engineering ability


We actively use AI and expect our engineers to know how to leverage it intelligently to move faster.


However, you must have strong engineering fundamentals and be able to code, debug, architect, and solve problems without AI.


We are not looking for someone who simply copies AI-generated code without understanding it.


You should be able to challenge AI output, identify poor architecture, catch bugs, improve generated code, and recognize when a proposed solution is wrong.


AI should amplify your engineering ability , not replace it.



The person we want


You’re smart, curious, active, resourceful, and technically strong.


You don’t wait around when something is broken.


You investigate it, understand the root cause, and fix it properly.


You care about the quality, performance, reliability, and maintainability of what you build.


You enjoy learning new technologies, but you understand that strong software engineering fundamentals matter more than simply knowing the latest framework.
