Requirements
• 8–12+ years of professional full-stack engineering experience: with a track record of acting as a technical lead or founding engineer in high-growth environments. • Mastery of the modern stack: Deep expertise in frontend frameworks (React/TypeScript) paired with strong experience in backend languages (Node.js, Python, or Go) and distributed systems. • AI-Native engineering mindset: Hands-on experience integrating LLMs, managing real-time streaming data, and building/consuming agentic frameworks and RAG architectures. • End-to-End Architecture Skills: The ability to design modular, "platform-first" systems, from database schema and API design to reusable UI components. • Obsession with Craft and Performance: A specialist's eye for creating fluid, "instant" user experiences and the backend efficiency required to support them. • Startup-level Autonomy: Comfortable navigating a "0-to-1" environment where you define the technical roadmap and ship high-quality code without a playbook. • Willingness to work on-site full time in UAE, to foster the high-intensity collaboration required for this incubation phase. • Experience with enterprise software transformation or legacy system integration is a significant plus. • What You’ll Receive: • A Blank Canvas and Live Ammunition: The rare opportunity to build a "0-to-1" product while immediately deploying it into the real-world operations of a regional giant. No "sandbox" projects here, you’ll be shipping code that moves people and goods on day one. This is a huge opportunity to create impact in our region. • Architecting the Engine: We’re a lean, impact-obsessed team operating with total autonomy. You’ll be free from corporate bureaucracy and legacy baggage, focused entirely on building the core orchestration layer and agentic frameworks that will serve as the "brain" of the region’s enterprises. • Direct Collaboration with Leadership: Direct engagement with Careem and enterprise client leadership, in addition to working side-by-side with the WorkOS founding team including Magnus Olsson (Careem’s original Co-founder). • Competitive Compensation: Including direct equity in this new division. Our philosophy is meritocratic: we want you to own a meaningful stake in the value you create.
Responsibilities
• Architect and Build the WorkOS Engine: Design and build the scalable backend services and frontend architectures required to orchestrate complex AI workflows and real-time data streaming. • Define AI-Human Interaction: Partner with Design and Customers to create intuitive interfaces for "agentic" work, moving beyond static forms into dynamic, canvas-based, or generative UI powered by robust APIs. • Full-Cycle Ownership: Own the lifecycle of the platform, from rapid prototyping of new agent capabilities to maintaining production-grade systems at enterprise scale. • Drive AI-Accelerated Engineering: Constantly experiment with AI-assisted development to move faster than traditional teams, while maintaining a bar for superb technical quality and craft. • Lead Pioneer Deployments: While building the core platform, you will occasionally lead the charge on first-of-their-kind implementations for strategic partners, ensuring our tech solves real-world operational complexity. • Operate with High Agency: In this lean, startup-style environment, you will be responsible for outcomes over inputs, rolling your sleeves up to code and balancing investments in the long-term technical roadmap with the need to ship value quickly.
