Calling senior technology leaders to shape the future of engineering in the Middle East. We’re looking to connect with senior tech professionals who have built and scaled complex engineering systems, platforms, or infrastructure in high-growth tech environments. Your expertise is exactly what’s needed to shape the future of engineering culture and technical foundations in the region.
To be clear: this is a hands-on, individual-contributor leadership role — not a people-management position. We need someone who still writes code, designs systems, and leads through technical depth and execution, not through managing headcount.
