This is a rare chance to join us at the start of a local launch, shaping how we show up for Kuwaiti shoppers and sellers from day one, backed by the scale, technology and track record we've built across the region.\nIf you want to help us build something significant in Kuwait, backed by proven regional success, we want to hear from you.\n About the role\nTabby is the leading shopping and financial services app in the Middle East - 25M+ users, 65,000+ merchants across Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Kuwait.
