📋 Description

• Own significant features and services end to end in the team's domain, architecting them with well-accepted patterns for iterative, autonomous development and future scale • Apply bounded contexts and minimise cross-service dependencies so failures stay contained • Ship production-ready, self-documenting code and set standards for AI-assisted development • Apply TDD and mocks where appropriate, refactor towards testability, and ensure tested code is merged • Diagnose issues within services and across service boundaries, tune monitoring, and use operational and business metrics for stability and performance • Participate actively in the team's on-call • Identify vulnerabilities, apply secure defaults for authentication, input validation, and data handling, and design for abuse prevention • Communicate blockers, delays, and cost overruns early; resolve dependencies and drive continuous improvement • Mentor teammates, build support redundancy, and maintain runbooks and ADRs

🎯 Requirements

• 5–8 years building production software, with deep ownership of services in a live, revenue-carrying system • Strong depth in at least one of DZ's stacks (TypeScript, Go, C#) plus solid Postgres and AWS working knowledge, and the curiosity to get productive in the others • Real expertise in a domain you've held for a while: the services, how they interact, and how data flows between them not just the parts you wrote • A security and abuse lens by default: solid OWASP grasp, correct handling of secrets and sensitive data, and an understanding of payment-surface threats such as card testing and credential handling • The judgement to weigh cost against value, including where AI leverage genuinely saves time versus where it adds risk someone will pay for later • Communication that lands with technical and non-technical audiences alike, a habit of seeking feedback as readily as giving it, and comfort with open, respectful disagreement

🏖️ 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
