It operates inside the SuperQi app and through a network of Qi shops and POS outlets across Iraq, serving around 2M monthly active customers, offering 150+ partner brands and 1,000+ digital product options, and connecting partners with local payment, retail and campaign execution capabilities. The company’s group includes four focused brands (Digital Zone, Ticket Zone, Rahal, Rahal eSIM) and provides infrastructure for partners to distribute digital products and reach active customers.

📋 Description

• Architect systems spanning multiple teams, anticipating future use cases and designing to minimise the cost of change rather than optimising for the current sprint • Drive convergence of shared services across business units, actively resisting fork-and-diverge and reducing drift • Set code quality, testing and review standards, including conventions that make AI-assisted development safe at speed • Lead difficult investigations across domains and mentor others on systematic debugging • Own observability for the domain and build a culture of it across teams using operational and business metrics • Lead secure design reviews and partner with security to apply security strategy, including handling secrets and PII according to policy • Partner with fraud and risk stakeholders to build controls into the domain and balance fraud loss, chargeback exposure and customer friction • Ensure epics and cross-team dependencies are broken down, understood and resolvable without teams waiting on each other; drive short cycle time • Mentor across teams, facilitate cross-team decisions, and decide engineering work based on strategy while contributing to organization-level engineering strategy

🎯 Requirements

• 8+ years building and operating production software, with a track record of owning architecture that spans several teams and outliving the org chart it was designed under • Deep experience in at least one of DZ's stacks (TypeScript, Go, C#) with the range to reason credibly across all of them, plus solid Postgres and AWS depth • Evidence of consolidating forked or duplicated services, or of setting standards that other teams adopted because they were good, not because they were mandated • A security and fraud lens applied by default: OWASP fluency, secure design instincts, and an understanding of what abuse looks like on a payments and digital-fulfilment surface • Influence without authority: the ability to build relationships across teams, foster healthy disagreement, and guide a group of strong engineers to a decision they'll actually stand behind • Judgement about cost and value, including where AI leverage genuinely saves time and where it introduces risk that someone will pay for later

🏖️ Benefits

• Immediate, large-scale impact on a high-growth business • Top-of-the-market compensation packages • Work alongside top regional talent, with team members from Talabat, Careem, Etisalat, and more
