Engineering Manager full time

estaie HQ: Dubai, Dubai, United Arab Emirates Remote job Nov 5

The Role

As our Engineering Manager, you’ll take ownership of the entire technical stack — from APIs and data pipelines to automation and AI integration. You’ll design and lead high-impact systems while staying hands-on in the code, setting technical direction, and mentoring a growing team of engineers.

You will:

  • Architect and build the end-to-end platform — scalable APIs, data pipelines, and automation services.
  • Stay hands-on: write clean, high-quality code (Python, TypeScript, SQL), review PRs, and maintain engineering standards.
  • Translate vision into architecture: partner with the CTO and AI leads to design systems for multi-region deployments, dynamic pricing models, and agentic workflows.
  • Drive technical strategy: balance fast iteration with robust system design using microservices, event-driven patterns, and CI/CD excellence.
  • Oversee integrations: maintain reliable connections with booking channels, communication tools, and fintech gateways.
  • Champion reliability and observability: own uptime, security, and performance across regions (Cloudflare WAF, logging, tracing, feature experiments).
  • Mentor and scale the team: build a strong engineering culture focused on accountability, automation, and measurable outcomes.
