The Job in short

As an Engineering Director at Backbase, you will lead a multi-project engineering organization delivering complex digital banking solutions for leading financial institutions in the Middle East region. You are accountable for building a high-performing engineering organization that consistently delivers predictable, high-quality software while developing future engineering leaders.

This is not only a delivery leadership role. You are expected to continuously improve how engineering operates by introducing modern engineering practices, scaling engineering excellence across teams and driving AI-assisted software development.

You will lead Engineering Managers and Technical Leaders across multiple customer engagements, balancing customer success, engineering quality and organizational growth.

Meet the Job

  • Lead and grow an engineering organization of 100+ engineers across multiple customer programs.
  • Coach, develop and raise the bar for Engineering Managers through regular mentoring, feedback and performance management.
  • Drive engineering excellence by improving delivery predictability, quality, developer experience, operational readiness and engineering metrics.
  • Establish consistent engineering governance, release readiness, architecture and quality practices across multiple teams.
  • Partner with customers, Delivery Managers, Technical Leaders, Architects and Product leadership to build trusted engineering relationships and resolve complex delivery challenges.
  • Build a culture of ownership, accountability, continuous improvement and technical excellence.
  • Lead engineering transformation through adoption of AI-native development practices, Agentic SDLC, automation and modern platform capabilities.
  • Develop engineering capability for the region through hiring, succession planning, technical communities and career development.

What success looks like

You build an organization where:

  • Engineering Managers grow into exceptional leaders.
  • Teams deliver predictably with a balance of quality.
  • Engineering decisions are driven by data.
  • Customers trust engineering commitments.
  • AI measurably improves engineering productivity and quality.
  • Engineering standards scale consistently across projects and teams.
  • Difficult organizational changes are implemented when required to improve long-term outcomes.

How about you

  • Proven experience leading multiple engineering teams (50+ engineers) through Engineering Managers.
  • Experience operating large-scale software delivery organizations across multiple concurrent projects.
  • Strong understanding of modern software engineering practices including architecture governance, CI/CD, testing strategies, observability, operational excellence and engineering metrics.
  • Demonstrated success building and coaching engineering leaders
  • Experience leading organizational transformation and driving measurable engineering improvements.
  • Strong customer-facing leadership with the ability to build trust while navigating difficult delivery situations.
  • Hands-on understanding of AI-assisted software engineering, developer tooling and Agentic SDLC with the ability to pragmatically introduce these practices across engineering organizations.
  • Excellent communication skills with both executive stakeholders and engineering teams.
  • Bias for ownership, continuous improvement and data-driven decision making.

Leadership principles

Engineering Directors at Backbase:

  • Build leaders.
  • Measure outcomes, not activity.
  • Solve systemic problems rather than local optimizations.
  • Raise engineering quality without slowing delivery.
  • Challenge the status quo and continuously improve how engineering works.
  • Embrace AI as an engineering multiplier while maintaining strong engineering fundamentals.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
