Job Description

Company Introduction

Awaed is Saudi Arabia’s leading retail investment platform fintech. We're building the country's first investment super app — think Robinhood, tailored for the Saudi market. After a 10x growth in 2024, we've captured a significant share of the market and are preparing for our next phase: scaling performance and preparing for IPO.

Job Overview

We’re building an excellence center to deliver a new high-performance, modular, and scalable trading infrastructure. As a Tech Lead or Senior Backend Engineer, you’ll be core to this transformation — architecting systems capable of handling hundreds of concurrent transactions and helping us scale into 2025 and beyond.

Responsibilities

  • Design and implement scalable backend systems for trading and settlement.
  • Architect the middle tier that powers complex order routing, user workflows, and API integrations.
  • (Tech Lead) Define tech stack, system architecture, and development roadmap.
  • (Tech Lead) Document plans, manage sprint cycles, and delegate tasks across the team.
  • Collaborate remotely with the Cairo-based engineering team and align on cross-functional goals.

Requirements

Must have:

  • 5+ years (Tech Lead) or 3+ years (Senior Developer) of backend system development.
  • Proven experience in high-performance trading systems or real-time financial applications.
  • Strong command of system architecture, API design, and data handling under load.
  • Passion for clean code — ideally with personal GitHub projects or side work to show.
  • Comfortable working independently and in startup environments.

Nice to have:

  • Experience with OMS (Order Management Systems) and EOD (End-of-Day) settlement systems.
  • Background in fintech, brokerages, or building mobile trading platforms.
  • Familiarity with microservices, distributed systems, or event-driven architecture.
  • Experience mentoring or managing small engineering teams (for Tech Lead).

Benefits & Perks

  • Competitive salary with equity (for Tech Lead role).
  • Remote-friendly team culture with Cairo-based core team.
  • Opportunity to shape architecture and engineering culture from the ground up.
  • Pre-IPO equity upside — we’re preparing to go public in 2026.

Tasks

  • Lead the design and development of high-performance trading systems, ensuring robust architecture and scalability.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate new features and enhance existing functionalities in trading platforms.
  • Mentor and guide a team of engineers, fostering a culture of innovation and technical excellence.
  • Conduct performance analysis and optimization to ensure low-latency and high-throughput trading operations.
  • Stay abreast of industry trends and emerging technologies to drive continuous improvement in trading system capabilities.

Additional Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field.
  • Minimum of 7 years of experience in software development with a focus on high-performance trading systems.
  • Proven track record of leading technical teams and delivering complex projects on time.
  • Strong understanding of algorithmic trading systems, financial markets, and risk management.
  • Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to work under pressure in a fast-paced environment.
