Full Stack Engineer

About Amira AI

Why This Role Exists

What You Will Own

• **Region-specific feature development**
• on the Amira platform — GCC-specific integrations (regional CRMs, telephony providers, payment systems, government APIs), and feature work driven by local enterprise customer requirements.
• **In-region production support**
• — same-time-zone incident response, deployment monitoring, and customer-facing technical support for Tier-1 UAE accounts where remote German support has time-zone friction.
• **Customer-side technical work**
• — bespoke integration builds for major UAE deployments, occasionally on-site at customer offices for kickoff and complex deployment phases.
• **Code quality and review**
• — you contribute to the same codebase as the German engineering team, follow the same architectural standards, and your work goes through the same code review.
• **Arabic-deployment quality assurance**
• — working with the German team and our Workflow Engineers, you ensure Arabic STT/TTS quality, dialect handling, and culturally appropriate conversational design.
• **Technical pre-sales support**
• — supporting the Vertical Sales team on technical evaluations, security questionnaires, and proof-of-concept builds.

What You Bring (Must-Haves)

• Five or more years of professional full-stack software development experience, with at least two in production-grade systems (not just prototypes or internal tools).
• Strong proficiency in modern backend stacks — Node.js, Python (FastAPI / Django), or Go preferred — and modern frontend frameworks (React, Vue).
• Solid database fluency — PostgreSQL or MySQL primary, plus practical experience with at least one NoSQL store and one message-queue system (Redis, RabbitMQ, Kafka).
• Comfortable with cloud infrastructure on AWS or Azure — deployments, CI/CD, monitoring, basic infrastructure-as-code.
• API design and integration experience — REST and GraphQL, webhook patterns, third-party API consumption.
• Strong written and spoken English — code review, documentation, and architectural discussion happen in English with our German team.
• Self-direction in a remote-first engineering culture — you can work productively without daily in-person supervision and you communicate proactively.
• Right to live and work in the UAE, or willingness to be sponsored under our visa.
• What's a Plus
• Arabic — significantly accelerates work on Arabic-language deployments and customer communication.
• German — accelerates work with our Germany engineering team.
• Direct experience with conversational AI platforms (Cognigy, Parloa, Voiceflow), CCaaS systems, or telephony engineering (SIP, RTP, WebRTC).
• LLM application development experience — RAG pipelines, prompt engineering, vector databases, embedding stores.
• Speech technology experience — STT/TTS integration, voice-quality measurement (MOS), latency optimisation.
• Open-source contributions — visible GitHub track record.
• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related field — not strictly required, but valued.

What We Offer

• Base salary depending on seniority and demonstrated technical depth.
• Possible Bonus, structured around technical milestones and tenure.
• Onboarding programme in Germany at the parent organisation (either online or in Germany) — direct mentorship from the CTO and senior engineering team.
• Real engineering-team membership — you are part of one of Europe's most established conversational AI engineering teams, not a peripheral regional outpost.
• Career path: Lead Developer / Solutions Architect / Engineering Manager UAE as the team scales; potential rotation to Germany for senior development.
• Hardware and software budget — top-tier laptop, licences, the kit you need.
• Standard UAE benefits package — see UAE Reality below.
• The UAE Reality — What This Role Looks Like in Practice
• Office: Al Fahidi, Bur Dubai — Mainland-DED entity.
• Working week: Monday to Saturday. Core hours flex around customer time zones (GCC, EU, occasionally APAC).
• Visa: Full employment and residence visa sponsorship for you
• Health insurance: Employer-funded medical cover compliant with DHA requirements;
• End of Service Gratuity: Per UAE Labour Law (Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021).
• Probation: 6 months. Notice period thereafter: 30 days.
• Travel: Periodic regional travel within the GCC; occasional travel to Germany (engineering hub).
