Mobile Developer à Émirats arabes unis

Since launching in Kuwait in 2004, talabat, the leading on-demand food and Q-commerce app for everyday deliveries, has been offering convenience and reliability to its customers.

talabat’s local roots run deep, providing a real understanding of the needs of the communities we serve in eight countries across the region.

We harness innovative technology and knowledge to simplify everyday life for our customers, optimise operations for our restaurants and local shops, and provide our riders with reliable earning opportunities daily.

At talabat, we build a high‑performance culture through an engaged workforce and growing talent density. We're all about keeping it real and making a difference. Our 6,000+ strong team is on an awesome mission to spread positive vibes.

We are proud to be a multi‑great place to work award winner.

We love finding new ways to shorten the feedback loops, create together and make an impact. Our engineering culture and practices are based on eXtreme Programming (XP), Domain‑Driven Design, Lean and Continuous Delivery.

We believe the assumption behind the "Speed vs Quality" mindset is flawed and that you can have both cake and eat it too. For us, quality enables speed – not in two years, but now.

Co‑creating together with others through pair and mob programming helps us deliver more value sooner and find joy in our work by seeking productive human connections. Engineers who understand our product and business better understand the context of their work, which helps them innovate, deliver more value to our customers and find more purpose in their work.

• Alongside your cross‑functional team (engineering, product, data), participate in continuous discovery of your customer/business needs, desires and problems to drive desired outcomes.
• Design, write and release software as a solution to an end‑to‑end problem in your business domain and deliver value in small batches in accordance with our engineering standards.
• Understand the scalability and complexity of your services and own and innovate the entire SDLC.
• Mentor and inspire other engineers and continually optimise your team’s practices to develop it into a self‑organised, continuously improving unit.
• Critically question and simplify our tech‑org systems, processes and solutions.

Note:

On top of very good technical skills, this role requires someone willing to assume end‑to‑end ownership of a specific area/initiative and thrives on emphasising with their users’ pains, desires and needs. You are keen to explore alternative ways of working that optimise for co‑creation and continuous improvement.
