This hub will become a core part of our global engineering organisation and will work closely with our UAE-based leadership team to deliver high-quality, scalable products used by millions of users.
About the role:
We are looking for a Tech Lead who will establish, manage, and scale our new engineering team in Georgia. This is a foundational role with both technical and organisational impact.

** Act as the main communication bridge between Georgia Engineering and UAE leadership.
** Drive structured cross-regional coordination and ensure visibility on priorities.
** Manage day-to-day engineering operations, task planning, and performance development.
** Mentor engineers, encourage ownership, and foster a culture of quality and collaboration.
** Oversee end-to-end delivery of projects executed by the Georgia hub.
** Collaborate with Product, QA, DevOps, and Design to ensure smooth release cycles.
Your experience:
** 7+ years in software engineering, including at least 4 + years in a leadership or team-lead role.
** Strong proficiency in Java (preferred) or another backend stack such as Go, Node.js, Python, or .NET.
** Solid understanding of system design, microservices, distributed systems, and cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure).
** Proven experience building or scaling engineering teams.
** Strong communication skills and ability to work across regions, time zones, and cultures.
** Ability to bring structure to ambiguous or fast-changing environments.
Nice to have:
** Experience in high-growth or startup environments.
** Exposure to multi-regional engineering operations.
** Background in fintech or large-scale consumer products.
Why You`ll Love Working Here:
** Work directly with the customer, in a culture of ownership and impact
** 20 fully paid vacation days
** 15 fully paid sick leaves
** Paid public holidays
** Compensation for health insurance and sports club membership (after trial period)

** Opportunity to build an engineering hub from zero and shape long-term strategy.
** Fast-paced, impactful role in a rapidly scaling tech ecosystem.
** Collaboration with international teams across Georgia and the UAE.
