Job description

Software Engineering Leadership (Relocation to Pakistan)

United Kingdom

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.

Calling senior technology leaders to shape the future of engineering in Pakistan

Are you a senior tech leader with deep roots in the Middle East & Asia, looking for a way to bring your global experience back to the region? Have you been considering a move, driven by a desire to make a lasting impact?

At Careem, our journey started with a simple purpose: to simplify and improve the lives of people in the Greater Middle East. From our beginnings as a ride-hailing service, we’ve grown into the region’s first Everything App, but our mission remains the same. We’re not just a tech company; we’re a team of builders, dreamers, and doers, working to create a better future for our region.

We’re looking to connect with senior tech professionals like you. If you’ve built and scaled complex engineering systems, platforms, or infrastructure in high-growth tech environments, we want to hear from you. Your expertise is exactly what’s needed to shape the future of engineering culture and technical foundations in the region.

We’re particularly interested in leaders who:

• Bring a product mindset and a track record of influencing roadmaps or customer experiences at scale
• Drive impact in Data & AI through applied machine learning, platformization, or agentic AI innovation
• Show passion for building long-term technical foundations and nurturing engineering culture across MENA
• Be open to relocating to Pakistan
• Be purpose-driven and excited about shaping the future of mobility, fintech, and everyday services in the region
• Bring experience in super apps, agentic AI deployment, or technology leadership in e-commerce, platforms, or startups

This is your chance to use your skills and experience to truly make a difference. We are creating a Everything App that will have a massive positive impact on our communities. We're creating income opportunities for our Captains and simplifying daily life for our customers.

This is more than a job. It's an opportunity to lead a mission that matters.
