At its core is a clear and powerful purpose: To change living for good in the region.\nFounded on the value of great ambitions, Property Finder connects millions of property seekers with thousands of real estate professionals every day. The platform offers a seamless and enriching experience, empowering both buyers and renters to make informed decisions. Since its inception in 2007, Property Finder has evolved into a trusted partner for developers, brokers, and home seekers. As a lighthouse tech company, it continues to create an environment where people can thrive and contribute meaningfully to the transformation of real estate in MENA.\nAbout the Role\nThis is a hands-on Tech Lead role: you’ll spend about 80% of your time writing, reviewing and shipping code. You’ll build across the stack of the region’s leading property marketplace, from the Next.js web experience to the TypeScript and Go services behind it, where latency, reliability and cost directly shape the experience of millions of buyers, renters and agents.\nYou’ll lead the team’s technical work from inside the codebase. You’ll set direction through the code you write, the designs you propose and the reviews you give.\nWhat You’ll Build (about 80% of your time)\nShip features end to end, from the React/Next.js UI through the TypeScript (Node.js) and Go services, APIs and data stores behind it, all the way to production\nDesign and build APIs and service boundaries that other teams can safely depend on\nMake the web fast and findable: server-side rendering, caching, Core Web Vitals, SEO-critical pages and Arabic right-to-left layouts\nEvolve our existing Go services while building new ones in TypeScript, and keep both well tested and easy to change\nOwn what you ship in production: instrument it, define SLOs and alerts, join the on-call rotation, debug incidents and fix root causes\nBuild product ideas behind feature flags and A/B experiments, then use production metrics to judge what worked\nPrototype quickly to de-risk an idea before the team commits to it\nImprove the team’s engineering foundations, such as tests, CI/CD, local development and observability, so everyone ships faster\nWhere the Other 20% Goes\nDesign: write short design docs for significant changes and review the ones your teammates write\nMentoring: grow the engineers around you through pairing, reviews and example, not status meetings\nPlanning: work with product managers and designers to break work into small, shippable pieces, and flag technical risk and cost early\nHiring: take part in interview loops, including the coding rounds\nCross-team work: align with mobile, platform and data engineers on shared APIs and engineering standards\nWhat We’re Looking For\nRequired skills\n6+ years writing production code across frontend and backend, with significant time on high-traffic, consumer-facing systems. You still write code most days.\nDeep, current expertise in TypeScript (Node.js) and React/Next.js. You can take a feature from an empty file to production on your own.\nGo experience, or the ability to pick it up quickly: several of our existing services are written in Go\nStrong backend design skills: microservice architectures, API design (REST/gRPC), service boundaries, inter-service communication and data modelling\nHands-on experience with AWS and containerised deployments, and with databases and search such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, OpenSearch, Elasticsearch and Redis, including data modelling, performance tuning and caching\nSolid web performance skills: server-side rendering, caching, bundle size and Core Web Vitals\nTesting discipline across unit, integration and end-to-end tests\nProduction ownership: observability, SLOs, debugging live incidents and writing post-mortems that lead to real fixes\nA track record of technical leadership from inside the codebase: driving design decisions, setting review standards and mentoring engineers\nClear written communication in design docs, pull requests and trade-off discussions with engineers and product partners\nNice to have\nExperience building AI/LLM-backed features in production, including managing the latency, quality and cost of model calls\nFluent use of AI coding assistants in your daily workflow, with the judgement to review what they produce\nExperience with event-driven architectures, edge computing (such as CDN-level logic) or multi-region systems\nExperience with SEO-critical web applications, internationalisation and right-to-left (Arabic) layouts\nExperience in marketplace, classifieds, or other two-sided platform products\nHow You Work\nYou lead by building: the team follows your code, designs and reviews, not your title\nYou ship small and often, and you’d rather prove an idea with a prototype than debate it in a meeting\nYou own outcomes in production, not just merged pull requests, and you watch the dashboards after a release\nYou protect the quality bar in code review and production, while keeping the team shipping\nYou’re pragmatic: you know when to invest in scale and when to ship the simple thing, and you can quantify the cost of both\nYou make decisions with data and explain trade-offs clearly","description_format":"text","description_chars":5353,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":6,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Real
