We're excited to be partnering with a leading institution in the UAE that is building a digital-first, AI-enabled financial services organization from the ground up. This is a unique opportunity to join at an early stage and help shape the technology, data, and platform foundations of a business with significant institutional backing and long-term ambition. If you're passionate about backend engineering, scalable architectures, and building cloud-native services, we'd love to hear from you. As a Backend Engineer, you'll play a key role in building the bank's service layer, developing microservices, APIs, event-driven solutions, and serving-layer components that power customer channels, AI agents, and core banking integrations. You'll work with modern engineering practices, AI-assisted development tools, and cloud-native technologies from day one. Responsibilities • Design, develop, test, and maintain scalable microservices and APIs using modern backend engineering practices. • Build and maintain integrations and anti-corruption layers around core banking, payments, and treasury platforms. • Develop event-driven services using streaming platforms such as Kafka and related technologies. • Build serving-layer components, projections, read models, and caching solutions to support high-volume customer and AI-driven interactions. • Implement secure, scalable, and agent-safe APIs with appropriate controls, audit logging, and governance. • Contribute to automated testing, code reviews, observability, documentation, and CI/CD best practices. Requirements • 6+ years of hands-on backend engineering experience, ideally within banking, fintech, or another regulated environment. • Experience building and operating microservices and APIs in production environments. • Strong experience with event-driven architectures, streaming platforms, and scalable backend systems. • Experience with modern backend technologies, cloud-native platforms, containers, and Kubernetes. • Familiarity with CI/CD, automated testing, observability, and secure software development practices. • Experience using AI-assisted engineering tools and modern software delivery practices is highly desirable.

That number is real. WorkMundi's database shows 144,883 open engineer roles across the world. India has the most with 31,687 jobs, followed by the United States with 30,084. If you just finished reading one job ad and felt paralyzed by choice, you're not alone—but this scale is actually an advantage. It means you can afford to be selective.
Start by geography and language. The majority of engineer ads—117,837 of them—have the job posting text written in English. Use that as one filter, but remember: the ad text language tells you nothing about whether the role actually requires you to speak English day-to-day. Read the job description carefully. Then check which countries have the volume you're targeting. Singapore, Poland, and Australia round out the top five after India and the US.
Next, learn who's hiring. Accenture has posted 2,801 engineer roles. andurilindustries, speechify, and jobgether are also actively recruiting. If you're applying to one of these names, research their hiring patterns and interview style before you apply. That homework pays off.
When you interview, expect the question every engineer hears: 'Tell me about a time you had to debug a problem that wasn't in your job description.' Have a specific story ready—not a general one. Name the tools, the deadline pressure, and what you learned. Hiring managers listen for whether you see problem-solving as part of the role itself, not a favour.
