This is a foundational role with the opportunity to define how internal tooling, developer experience, and backend quality are built at the company from the ground up. You'll have a direct impact on how every engineer builds, tests, and ships software — shaping the golden paths, shared libraries, and quality systems that scale across the entire engineering organization. We're at a major inflection point in our growth, and we seek the right person to set the standard for how backend software is built here as we scale.

- Improve backend developer workflows — local development, debugging, and testing — so engineers can iterate quickly and confidently
- Design and maintain testing frameworks and CI-integrated quality systems that give engineers fast, trustworthy signals on their changes
- Develop self-service capabilities for common engineering workflows so teams can move independently without platform bottlenecks
- Improve visibility into system quality and release confidence across the engineering organization
- Partner directly with engineering teams to identify friction in their day-to-day and solve it through better tooling

- Bring 3+ years of experience in Platform Engineering, Backend Engineering, or Developer Experience roles
- Have strong backend engineering skills, ideally in Typescript/Node.js, and a deep understanding of microservices and service-to-service communication patterns
- Have hands-on experience building internal tooling, shared libraries, or service templates that other engineers actively use
- Are experienced with testing frameworks, CI integration, and building quality signals that engineers trust
- Have a product mindset when it comes to internal tools — you think about your colleagues as users and measure success by their productivity
- Use the latest AI tools and technologies to boost your productivity
- Are based in, or open to relocating to, the UAE
