Summary
We are looking for a talented Software Engineer to join our growing development team at Property Finder. We believe in nurturing talent and we encourage creativity and autonomy where you are free to grow and develop your career in a fun, forward thinking and positive environment. We expect our developers to be passionate about technology and think of creative ways that they could benefit our business. In this role, you will be responsible for developing and maintaining high-quality, scalable full stack applications that power our core business functions. We are big proponents of Agile development methods with small cross-functional teams fully empowered to take an idea from inception and to be able to deliver it fully tested into production with minimal outside disruptions. Because of this you will need to be able to work well with others in your team and outside of your team to be able to contribute meaningful ideas on how to best achieve your objectives and key results.

- Build and scale user-facing applications in Next.js/TypeScript that serve millions of property seekers across the MENA region
- Drive code quality through thoughtful reviews, architectural decisions, and mentoring of junior engineers
- Identify and eliminate technical debt — you'll have the autonomy to make the case for refactoring work and prioritize it appropriately
- Collaborate with product, design, and backend engineers to shape solutions, not just implement tickets handed to you
- Contribute to frontend architecture decisions: state management patterns, performance optimization, testing strategies, and build tooling
- Champion engineering best practices within your team and across the department
