Job Description

Engineering Lead, Backend – Dubai

Lead and grow the backend team behind the super app that millions across the GCC use to run their homes. Every month, hundreds of thousands of people across the GCC book a cleaner, a beauty service, a handyman, or a healthcare visit through Justlife.

The Role

You’ll lead a delivery team in our new Dubai office — backend and mobile developers, a product manager, and QAs working as one unit, with backend engineers as your direct reports. You’ll own roadmap execution and technical quality, partner day to day with product management, and be the engineering voice in every cross‑department conversation in the room.

This is a hands‑on leadership role, not a hands‑off one. We expect you to set the technical bar, grow the engineers who report to you, and stay close enough to the code to keep the technical thread — while owning delivery the rest of the business can rely on.

What You’ll Do in Your First 6 Months ...
