How to use this

If you're applying: Most open roles are Engineering in Dubai. The payments backend roles (Backend Engineer, Payments Platform and Backend Engineer, Payments Experience) are the clearest match for TypeScript, Node.js and Kafka experience. Check the Arabic requirement before applying to Customer Excellence Specialist.

If you're selling or recruiting: Thirteen roles are open in Dubai, 7 of them in Engineering. The posting pace is slowing: 1 new role in the last 30 days, 2 opened in the prior 30 days, none closed. Call first on the payments backend roles and the Head of Marketing role.
