Job description

Overview

Justlife is rocking the region with its beautifully designed home services app and is looking for brilliant minds and skilled professionals who can think outside the box and have a limit that defies the sky.

Do you envision shaping the future of all home services in one of the fast-growing tech startups based in Dubai?

Join us and dedicate yourself to becoming #everydaybetter!

Take over a key role as an Engineering Team Leader in the Engineering department, and be a part of this exciting adventure of growth and success.

What we expect from you

  • Lead and inspire a distributed backend engineering team, setting clear goals and driving execution
  • Translate business needs into a quarterly roadmap, ensuring estimates and architecture are aligned
  • Delegate smartly — balancing workload across the team while keeping momentum on roadmap and technical debt
  • Be hands-on in architectural discussions and collaborate closely with Product to design and ship new features
  • Set the bar high : review code, provide feedback, and ensure engineering quality is never compromised
  • Own complex, high-priority technical implementations that can’t be delegated
  • Oversee release and deployment processes, ensuring stability and smooth rollouts
  • Keep an eye on recurring issues, identify root causes, and reduce errors over time
  • Run meaningful 1 : 1s — mentoring, coaching, and helping engineers grow in their careers
  • Collaborate across Product, QA, and other teams to deliver scalable, reliable solutions
  • Communicate clearly and transparently with stakeholders to ensure alignment and trust
  • Foster a motivated, collaborative team culture where people do their best work

What we are looking for

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or equivalent experience
  • Solid professional background in backend software development with proven delivery at scale
  • Deep experience with Java and the Spring Framework
  • Strong understanding of microservices and distributed systems
  • Solid knowledge of both relational and NoSQL databases
  • Hands-on experience with CI / CD, containerization, and AWS
  • Proven track record in identifying and solving technical / process bottlenecks
  • Strong leadership skills — ideally leading teams across multiple geographies
  • Excellent communicator who thrives in cross-functional collaboration
  • Analytical thinker with strong problem-solving abilities
  • Experience in error management, migrations, or scaling complex backend systems
  • Background in e-commerce or large-scale platforms
  • Experience working with external partners (e.g., agencies)
  • Curiosity and exposure to AI or other emerging tech integrations
  • Perks of being a part of Justlife

    Nothing would replace the start-up spirit, working with an evolving culture and fulfilling workplace. We offer benefits like :

  • Flexible working hours and remote working arrangements
  • One-day extra vacation on your birthday with our JustHoliday
  • Free Justlife credits to enjoy our own services
  • Team-building and reality escape opportunities through games and activities
  • We improve you

  • Working with a great team and entrepreneurial spirit
  • Continuous learning with mentorship, coaching, on-the-job, and training
  • Never-ending growth with fast-track career development and internal opportunities
  • A fair and objective Performance Management System
  • We recognize you

  • JustHeroes Reward and Recognition Program
  • Company discounts and gift vouchers
  • A bonus for successful Employee Referrals
  • About us
