Senior Software Engineer Verticals

Why qlub

The end of a great meal shouldn't be the slow part. Waiting for the check, finding someone to take payment, splitting a bill by hand. qlub removes that friction. Guests scan a QR code and pay in seconds. No app, no download, no waiting.

From Pay-at-Table and Digital Menus to Order-and-Pay, Payment Links, and SoftPOS terminals, we handle the full payment experience so restaurants can focus on what they do best: great hospitality. Less friction means faster table turnover, smoother operations, and higher profit.

We're a fast-scaling fintech backed by Mastercard, Mubadala, e& and Shorooq. $72M raised, live across multiple markets worldwide, and headcount doubled in the past year. We're building the teams that take us to the next stage.

At qlub, engineers don't write code by hand anymore, and they don't read it line by line either. AI agents do the implementation. Our engineers decide what gets built, specify it precisely, direct the agents, and prove the result is correct and safe before it touches a single payment.

As our next AI Engineer, you'll own that loop end to end: from turning a salon's problem into a clear spec, to orchestrating agents that build, test and ship it, to verifying it through tests, evals and observability rather than code review by eye. You'll ship real results from day one.

You'll also build the agentic systems our salons and teams use: agents that reason, retrieve information, call tools and execute controlled workflows across bookings, payments and operations.

You'll work closely with product, operations, salon partners and booking-platform partners to turn frictionless payments into real growth for beauty businesses. If you thrive in a fast-moving, build-from-scratch environment and you already work this way, this role is for you.

• Direct AI agents to design, build and operate secure, reliable payment services for salons: checkout, booking deposits and no-show fees, tips and tip splitting across staff, refunds, reconciliation and settlement
• Own integrations with salon management and booking platforms, payment providers, financial partners and other third-party systems, specified and delivered through agents
• Write the specs, acceptance criteria, test suites and evals that define "done", so agent output is verified by evidence rather than by reading the code
• Design and run the agentic development workflow itself: which agents do what, how they're prompted and given context, and how their work is checked, merged and deployed
• Build AI-powered and agentic products for salons and internal teams, such as agents that answer client questions, manage booking and payment exceptions, or handle reconciliation, using retrieval, tool calling and controlled actions
• Put permissions, human approvals, guardrails, observability, audit trails and fallbacks around every agent that can touch money, client data or a salon's calendar
• Find and fix bottlenecks in speed, reliability, security and cost, including LLM and agent cost

• You already build with agents as your default way of working, not as an add-on to hand-coding
• You've shipped production software in a fast-moving, high-growth environment
• You move fast and make strong decisions with incomplete information
• You take real ownership and think like an operator, not a coordinator
• You're energised by hard problems in payments, beauty and wellness, and client experience
• You trust evidence over output: if it isn't tested, measured and observable, it isn't done

• Proven experience shipping production-grade software, with a track record of doing it through AI coding agents
• Fluency in English is a must
• Excellent problem-solving and communication skills
• Hands-on experience with LLM APIs,…
