A little bit about talabat

expanded to the rest of the GCC region, Egypt & Jordan, making it the largest and most popular food
ordering app. With over 2,000+ employees and millions of users, we deliver hundreds of thousands
of orders every day. We are part of the Delivery Hero network building the next generation of online delivery platforms across the globe. Our network is truly international with engineering teams in 13 countries and operations in 40+ countries.
A little bit about our engineering culture
We love finding new ways to shorten the feedback loops, create together and make an impact. To do
so, our engineering culture and practices are based on eXtreme Programming (XP), Domain-Driven
Design, Lean and Continuous Delivery. We believe that the assumption behind the “Speed vs Quality” mindset is flawed and that you can both have your cake and eat it too. For us, quality enables speed. Not in 2 years, but now.
Co-creating together with others through Pair and Mob programming helps us deliver more value
sooner and find joy in our work by seeking productive human connections with others. We find that engineers seeking to understand our product and business better understand the context of their work, which helps them to innovate, deliver more value to their customers and find
more purpose in their work
