Job Description

Ziina is on a mission to bring financial freedom to every person in the Middle East. Ziina is building the “financial super app” of the region: payments, bill payments, P2P transfers, bill splitting, and more. We are a consumer-first, product-driven company with a small, elite team.

As a Senior Backend Engineer on the Payments Experience team, you will own and ship end-to-end reliable, scalable backend software for Ziina’s payments product. You will design and build a cloud-native platform, leveraging monitoring, observability, security, scalability, elasticity and testing; and improve CI/CD workflows.

Our stack: TypeScript/Node.js/NestJS on the backend, Swift/SwiftUI (iOS) and Kotlin (Android) on mobile, Next.js/React/TypeScript on the web, GraphQL Federation, Kafka, PostgreSQL, Redis and Elasticsearch, on AWS with Kubernetes, Terraform and GitHub Actions.

Key skills we are looking for: at least 4 years of software development experience; experience owning and shipping end-to-end reliable, scalable backend software; experience building cloud-native platforms leveraging monitoring, observability, security, scalability, elasticity and testing; experience with CI/CD; and a collaborative spirit and a strong sense of ownership. Candidates who live in, or are willing to relocate to, the UAE will be prioritized.

What would amaze us: experience developing software for money-handling systems; experience with Node.js, GraphQL, Postgres, ElasticSearch or Kafka; and experience with SwiftUI (iOS) or Kotlin (Android).

Location: Dubai, United Arab Emirates. This is a full-time role with Ziina. Published 2026-08-12.
