Software Engineering Lead

We're hiring an Engineering Lead to join a small, highly technical team building real systems from ambiguous, real-world problems. This role combines technical leadership and delivery ownership. It's not a traditional Engineering Manager role — and not a full-time IC role either. You'll shape solutions, guide architecture, and ensure high-quality delivery, while staying close enough to go deep when needed. What you'll do: • Turn unclear partner needs into clear, implementable specs • Set architectural foundations and make pragmatic technical decisions • Break goals into executable phases and drive delivery • Surface risks early and keep scope focused • Review designs, unblock complex issues, and support the team's growth • Define what "done" really means — including reliability and operational readiness What we're looking for: • Preferably 4+ years of software engineering experience (We're open to highly potential candidates with less experience.) • Experience leading technical work or small teams • Strong system-level thinking and sound technical judgment • Experience designing services, APIs, or distributed systems • High ownership, comfort with ambiguity, and clear communication Nice to have: startup/small-team experience, hiring exposure, AI/data product experience. Location: Doha, Qatar If you're interested in shaping real systems and owning outcomes — not just tasks — we'd love to hear from you.
