AI-Driven Backend Architect

Nathan & Nathan; Dubai; On-site; AED 450,000 - 720,000; Full time

Job summary

Nathan & Nathan in Dubai, UAE is seeking a Backend Engineer — AI-Driven Development to own the engineering quality of an AI-first team building a new CTRM platform for a physical oil-products trader.

You will design services, data models, APIs and transactional boundaries, translate requirements into agent-executable briefs, and review every line of code to ensure correctness and performance.

Qualifications

• 7+ years building and operating production backend systems.
• Experience delivering production features through AI-driven development / directing coding agents.
• Able to read, debug and reason about code you did not write quickly, in an unfamiliar codebase.

Responsibilities

• Design services, data models, APIs and transactional boundaries from specified requirements.
• Translate requirements into agent-executable task briefs — small enough to verify, large enough to be worth delegating.
• Own and evolve the project’s agent context: CLAUDE.md, coding conventions, architectural guardrails and test policy.
• Review every diff seriously: data model, transaction and concurrency semantics, error handling, migrations, security and performance.
• Write and maintain tests that pin real behaviour — especially around money, rounding, dates and state machines.
• Refactor aggressively when generated code is correct in isolation but wrong for the system.
• Act as reviewer of record for everything you ship, regardless of who or what produced it.
• Ship in two-week sprints against a defined Definition of Ready and Definition of Done
