Ideal Candidate Profile

The ideal candidate is more than someone who can complete assigned coding tasks. We are looking for a developer who can take ownership of technical solutions and contribute to the long-term development of the platform.

You should be:

• Technically strong and hands-on.
• Capable of independently solving complex technical problems.
• Experienced with large or multi-module software platforms.

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Technology, or a related field is preferred.
• Equivalent professional experience and strong technical expertise will also be considered.

What You Will Work On

The selected candidate will contribute to the development of a large integrated business software ecosystem rather than a single standalone application.

The platform will connect multiple business functions, including:

SaaS → ERP → Accounting → HR → CRM → Business Operations → Reporting → Communication → Video Conferencing → Additional Business Tools

The objective is to create a unified technology ecosystem that enables businesses and entrepreneurs to manage a significant portion of their day-to-day operations through one integrated platform.

This role therefore requires someone who is comfortable working across different modules, understanding how systems interact, developing integrations, and building software that can scale as the platform grows.

Compensation

AED 8,000 – AED 15,000 per month

The final salary will be determined based on:

• Technical expertise.
• Years and relevance of experience.
• PHP and Laravel proficiency.
• Enterprise software experience.
• Architecture and problem-solving capabilities.
• Relevant project experience.
• Overall performance during the recruitment process.
