Job description
As a Senior Technical Software Engineer - Apps Team (Customer Experience Pillar, Web & Mobile) at Emirates, the role supports driving and implementing software engineering strategies, standards, and guidelines within the assigned feature team to deliver business-critical technical solutions for web and mobile. Responsibilities span planning/estimation, application development, deployment, release, hyper-care, and operation of developed solutions, with technical leadership across the software development lifecycle. The engineer collaborates to deliver technical design, development, and deployment of complex solutions within the relevant product and conducts technical design reviews to ensure the right architecture patterns are used. The role drives adoption of engineering practices, including development process automation, lean software development, built-in quality, test driven development, Agile practices, timely root cause analysis, and blameless incident post-mortems, and contributes to sprint/work design and planning while actively participating in technology-specific communities of practice. Proven experience is required in GraphQL (schema design, performance optimisation, and mobile integration), Mobile App Middleware (API design, microservices, orchestration layers), and real-time messaging frameworks such as Kafka, WebSockets, JMS, AMQP, and Firebase Cloud Messaging. The stack and ecosystem include React, Java, Node, Spring, Swift, and Kotlin, with hands-on use of generative-AI developer tools to code, refactor, test, and review using strong prompt design and rigorous verification of outputs. The position requires solid experience in data modelling, systems design, and expert coding in the listed technologies, implementing contemporary practices like continuous integration and continuous deployment and establishing/managing technology platforms for DevOps, code management, testing, CI and CD to ensure a robust and reliable code base is maintained, ensuring optimal use of enterprise application platforms, tools, and libraries in line with approved technology architecture, and owning corrective, adaptive, preventative, and perfective maintenance of products in collaboration with other capabilities for the relevant product.
