Fintech Startup | Dubai, UAE

We’re partnering with a well-funded fintech startup in Dubai that’s building a modern, cloud-native financial platform from the ground up.

• Developing APIs and services used across payments, lending, or digital banking workflows
• Writing clean, testable, production-ready code in a microservices environment
• Collaborating closely with product, frontend, and platform teams
• Contributing to architectural decisions as the platform scales

• Strong commercial experience with Java and Spring / Spring Boot
• Experience building distributed backend systems (microservices, APIs, event-driven architectures)
• Solid understanding of databases (SQL required; No
  
  SQL a plus)
• Exposure to cloud environments (AWS, GCP, or Azure)
• Experience in fintech, banking, payments, or high-availability systems is highly desirable
• Engineers who care about code quality, performance, and long-term maintainability

• Competitive, tax-free salary (Dubai-based)
• Opportunity to work on core financial infrastructure
  , not side projects
• Small, high-calibre engineering team with real ownership
• Clear growth path as the company scales

This is a chance to join early
, influence how systems are built, and work alongside engineers who take their craft seriously - without the bureaucracy of large banks or the chaos of under-funded startups.

If you’re a strong Java engineer looking to build meaningful fintech products in Dubai, this is worth a conversation.
