🚀 Full Stack Team Lead (React + PHP)
New Products Team | In Office (JLT, Dubai) | A-Players Only
We’re hiring a serious builder.
This is not a maintenance role.
This is not a “ticket executor” role.
You will lead a small remote team building new SaaS products, AI modules and core features from scratch.
If you like ownership, speed and high standards — read on.
What You’ll Own
- End-to-end product design → spec → build → test → launch
- React frontend (modern architecture, clean state management)
- PHP backend (APIs, data modelling, performance)
- Some Node.js services where appropriate
- Technical leadership of a small remote team (2-3 engineers)
- Shipping fast without breaking quality
- Working hands-on with the company's founder and board level executives
You will code. A lot.
You will lead.
You will be accountable for delivery.
What We Expect
- Strong React in production environments
- Strong PHP nad MySQL backend
- Experience architecting scalable systems
- Managed small remote teams
- Comfortable making decisions without layers of approval
- Startup mindset (speed > bureaucracy)
- Already using AI tools daily (Cursor, Copilot, GPT, etc.)
If you’re not AI-native, this isn’t the role.
What This Is
- High ownership
- Direct access to the founder
- Real product impact
- Fast iteration cycles
- No corporate politics
What This Is Not
- 9–5 clock-watching
- Enterprise red tape
- Safe, slow engineering
