Head of Engineering
Location: Dubai, UAE
Team: Engineering
Compensation: up to £120k plus equity
About the company.
An AI-powered Fintech based in Dubai is looking to hire a Head of Engineering. The founding team have raised significant funding for their revenue-generating B2B product. They now require an engineering leader to own the engineering strategy, lead from the front and drive relentless innovation.
About the role.
This role is not just about managing engineers, but to also be an engineer. It’s about leading with purpose, setting the standard of excellence, and architecting innovation into every line of code and process. You’ll work directly with the founders, shape the future of the platform, and build a world-class engineering culture aligned with their values.
About you.
*Must have early stage technology company experience (seed to series A funding rounds).
*Must be both hands-on in technical capabilities (coding when required) and capable of leading.
- We're looking for someone both strategic and hands-on, who can architect the future while unblocking a team today.
- 8–10 years of engineering experience, with 3–5 years in leadership roles.
- Deep expertise in backend development (Python, NodeJS, or Go), cloud (Azure or AWS), distributed data systems (Spark, Kafka, Snowflake or Databricks), and, ideally, ML frameworks (PyTorch or TensorFlow).
- Experience in early stage companies is important, experience in fintech startups is ideal.
- Exceptional communication, prioritisation, and decision-making skills.
- Proven experience in architecting and scaling production-grade systems.
This is an exciting opportunity to join an early-but-proven team as they scale up to meet market demand. You will help shape their engineering environment and team.
Visa sponsorship and relocation packages are on offer.
