Join our innovative team at Genesis, one of the leading software development companies dedicated to revolutionizing the IT industry. We push the boundaries of what's possible with cutting-edge technologies and foster a collaborative environment where creativity and expertise thrive and where the people who move fastest, think deepest, and take ownership go furthest.
Position Overview:
We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer to ship significant features across our stack. This position is based onsite in Abu Dhabi, requiring 3 days a week in the office.
We're looking for someone with real drive, a builder who takes initiative, raises the bar for the team, and gets genuinely excited about hard technical problems. If you wait to be told what to do, this isn't the role. If you spot problems and solve them before anyone asks, keep reading.
Responsibilities:
- Design and ship significant features end to end
- Own non-trivial technical decisions, write them up clearly, and defend them
- Align with client development teams and stakeholders on integration design, sequencing, and delivery
- Set the standard on code quality and review code substantively across the team, not just your own surface area
- Mentor other engineers through pairing, design review, and direct feedback
- Participate in production incident response and post-incident analysis
- Contribute to platform-wide work
Requirements:
- Experience building production systems in TypeScript/Node.js
- Production software engineering experience in TypeScript/Node.js
- React.js experience, or a strong willingness and ability to learn it
- Strong fundamentals across data structures, concurrency, and distributed-system failure modes
- Solid SQL, including indexing and query plans
- Experience operating services in production: logging, metrics, alerting, and on-call
- Confidence in code review, including pushing back constructively on senior peers
- Effective use of AI coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot) with sound judgment about when to trust output and when to verify
- Strong communication skills; comfortable working across organizational boundaries and translating between technical and business framing
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (preferred)
Desired Skills (a big plus):
- Fintech, banking, or other regulated-industry background
- Production experience with both TypeScript/Node.js and React,js
- Exposure to partner- or client-driven delivery and integration work
