About the Role: Responsibilities, Skills, and Requirements
Ever wondered what it’s like to shape cutting-edge software while living in the vibrant heart of Dubai’s tech scene? We’re currently looking for a Software Developer to join our growing IT team in Dubai Internet City. If you’re excited by the idea of bringing your code to life amid skyscrapers, multicultural teams, and ambitious projects, this could be the opportunity you’ve been waiting for.
About the Company
Our office is tucked right into the energetic ecosystem of Dubai Internet City, where innovation is more than a buzzword — it’s how we start our Mondays. We’re a close-knit tech crew who genuinely believe in supporting each other (Yes, stand-ups sometimes stray into coffee recommendations, and we mean it when we ask how your weekend was). As a company, we’re scaling up, and every new hire shapes our journey. You’ll find us passionate about learning and always eager to welcome fresh perspectives — whether you’ve built side projects or come up with ideas on a whiteboard.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Designing and developing robust applications using contemporary frameworks and languages
- Writing clean, efficient, and well-documented code (our future selves thank you in advance)
- Troubleshooting technical issues — from bugs in new features to the mysterious ones that appear at 4pm
- Working closely with cross-functional teams (think product, UX, and QA) to turn ideas into beautiful, real-world solutions
- Supporting system upgrades and seamless integrations to keep everything running buttery smooth
- Participating in code reviews and knowledge-sharing sessions — growth is a team sport here
What You’ll Bring
Must-Haves:
- Experience with one or more modern programming languages (like Java, Python, C#, or JavaScript)
- A knack for problem-solving and a “let’s try it” attitude when things get tricky
- Solid understanding of software development best practices, including version control (Git fans, you’re in good company)
- Ability to work collaboratively in a diverse, multicultural team
- Clear, open communication — both written and verbal
Nice-to-Haves:
- Familiarity with cloud platforms or microservices architecture
- Previous work on system integrations or application upgrades
- An eye for UI/UX — or at least an appreciation for user-friendly interfaces
Not sure you tick every box? We’d still love to hear from you.
Why You’ll Love Working Here
- Two-year sponsored residency in Dubai
- Company-provided accommodation and daily transportation — so you can focus on work (not the commute)
- Comprehensive health insurance package
- Opportunities for professional development, workshops, and certification support
- Collaborative culture where your ideas really are heard
- Competitive salary and performance incentives
You’ll be joining a team that genuinely enjoys building things together, in one of the world’s fastest-growing tech cities. Whether you’re passionate about shipping code, growing your expertise, or simply ready for your next adventure, we think you’ll find something to love here.
