Principal Software Engineer

About Nasser Technologies:

Customers who call us usually reach someone who wrote the code they are asking about. Everything runs on a single Rails app and one Postgres database, deployed on Heroku.

What this job is:

This is a hands-on coding role on software used by a few hundred thousand people. Expect code review, design discussions and a fair amount of debugging. The Principal Software Engineer will build and maintain services, APIs and internal tools, working closely with product and design. The company is based in Dubai, the UAE.

What you'll do:

• Break down product requirements into technical tasks and rough estimates
• Contribute to postmortems and follow through on the action items
• Review pull requests from teammates and give clear, specific feedback
• Work with product managers and designers to scope features and cut what isn't needed
• Maintain REST and gRPC APIs used by internal teams and outside partners
• Keep dependencies current and patch findings from Dependabot or Snyk

Requirements:

• 8+ years of professional software development experience
• Willing to join the on-call rotation once ramped up
• Ability to write clear technical documentation and explain decisions to non-engineers
• Solid understanding of data structures, algorithms and basic system design
• Strong skills in at least one of Python, Java, Go, C# or TypeScript
