Software Developer - UAE PASS Integration

• Develop, configure, test, and troubleshoot REST API integrations.
• Work with OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect (OIDC) authentication flows.
• Validate integrations in staging and production environments.
• Investigate API connectivity, authentication, and integration issues.
• Document test results and track issues in JIRA.
• Coordinate with service providers and technical teams until issues are resolved.
• Support applicable security and compliance requirements.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field.
• 6+ years of experience in software development, backend development, or API integration.
• Hands-on experience with REST APIs.
• Practical experience implementing OAuth 2.0 and OIDC flows, not just theoretical knowledge.
• Experience with API testing and troubleshooting, including Postman, logs, and HTTP errors.
• Professional proficiency in Arabic and English.

Advantages

• Previous experience with UAE PASS or an equivalent national digital identity platform.
• Familiarity with SAML 2.0 and JIRA.
• Familiarity with digital identity services such as authentication, digital signatures, identity verification, eSeal, and digital vault APIs.
