We serve the needs of online shoppers in all Arabic speaking and surrounding countries through our trusted, secure payment network that gives everyone the opportunity to shop online safely and easily.

Primary Responsibilities:
• Software Development Engineers are responsible for design, development, delivery and support of large-scale, multi-tiered, distributed software applications and tools.

• Their focus is on a major portion of existing or new team software (e.g., significant component, set of features, mid-size application or service). They work with the team to invent, design and build software that is stable and performant.
• They write code that an SDE unfamiliar with the system can understand. Their solutions are pragmatic. They are proficient in a broad range of design patterns and know when it is appropriate to make trade-offs. They do things with the proper level of complexity the first time.
• They consider the legacy of the code they produce, limiting the use of short-term workarounds. They create flexible software without over-engineering. They re-use where possible, while being judicious about introducing dependencies. They are efficient with resource usage (e.g., system hardware, database, memory/CPU, etc.)
• They work on project ideas with customers, stakeholders, and peers. They help balance customer requirements with team requirements. They help our team evolve by actively participating in the code review process, design discussions, team planning, and ticket/metric/COE reviews.
