Web Developer jobs in United Arab Emirates

Careem is building the Everything App for the greater Middle East — making it easy to move around, order food and groceries, manage payments, and more. Our purpose is simple: to simplify and improve people’s lives and build an awesome organisation that inspires.
Since 2012, Careem has enabled earnings for over 2.5 million Captains, simplified the lives of more than 70 million customers, and built a platform where the region’s best talent and entrepreneurs thrive. We operate in 70+ cities across 10 countries, from Morocco to Pakistan.

We’re now entering our next chapter — one powered by AI. We’re looking for AI talent: curious problem-solvers who know how to apply AI to build tools, automate workflows, and create real impact. Whether it’s streamlining operations, enhancing customer experience, or reimagining internal systems — we want people who can make Careem work smarter and move faster.

We’re looking for a Front-End Engineer who loves crafting seamless, performant, and intelligent web experiences. You’ll work at the intersection of design, AI, and distributed systems building the interfaces that power our next-generation customer experiences. Every line of code you write will help shape how millions of people interact with our products every day.

• Design and build stunning, performant web applications that shape how customers interact with our platform.
• Partner with Product Managers, Designers, and AI Engineers to rapidly prototype, experiment, and iterate on new experiences.
• Implement modern, component-driven UIs using React (preferred) or Angular, backed by robust APIs in Go or Node.js.
• Translate complex design systems into clean, reusable, and accessible HTML5/CSS3 components.
• Contribute to front-end architecture decisions, performance tuning, and CI/CD workflows.
• Champion user-centric thinking, balancing design intent, technical feasibility, and product goals.

• 5+ years of experience building and scaling modern web applications.
• Bachelor’s degree or higher in Computer Science or a related field.
• Experience integrating with distributed backend systems (Go, Node.js) and APIs at scale.
• Deep understanding of responsive design, UI frameworks, and user-centered development principles.
• Strong foundation in AWS-based architectures or microservice ecosystems.
• Proven track record of delivering high-quality software in Agile/Scrum environments.
• Excellent problem-solving skills, technical curiosity, and a bias for action.

• Put your passion to work in a purposeful organisation dedicated to creating impact in a region with a lot of untapped potential.
• Explore new opportunities to learn and grow every day.
