Company Description
xPMO is an Arabic-first PMO and portfolio-
governance
platform built for the GCC's giga-project era — plus the consultancy that implements it.
We help developers, government bodies and PMOs turn governance from documents on a shelf into a living system: portfolio, stage gates, risk, readiness and leadership reporting in one place, bilingual (AR/EN) and AI-assisted.
We're pre-launch, heading to commercial launch at
Cityscape Global, November 2026
, and building our founding team now.
Based in
Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

We're now bringing on our
first engineer
to own it as a human: harden security, validate our hosting and architecture, drive scalability, and become the technical backbone of the product.
This is a founding, high-ownership role — with a genuine path to
Cto
for the right person.

- Own
- performance, database design and scalability
- as we onboard customers.
- Set architecture direction, code quality standards and the technical roadmap.
- Be accountable for shipping enhancements reliably and reducing 100% reliance on AI-only development.
- What we're looking for
- A strong full-stack engineer with
- real depth
- — you can read, refactor and own a production codebase, not just prototype.
- Solid experience with
TypeScript, React And Next.js and PostgreSQL
- (Supabase a plus).
- Practical
- security
- knowledge: auth, authorization, multi-tenant isolation, common web vulnerabilities.
- Experience
- deploying and scaling production SaaS

- Nice to have
- B2B / multi-tenant SaaS experience · payments (Moyasar/Stripe) · Arabic/RTL or GCC-market experience · rigorous AI-assisted development.
