The posting

Qiddiya Digital is seeking highly experienced and hands-on Senior Expert of Software Engineer – Digital Platforms to take technical ownership of critical digital product domains across Qiddiya’s ecosystem.

This is a senior individual contributor role with strong technical authority. While the position has no direct line-management responsibility, it will provide technical leadership to vendor engineering teams and remain accountable for the quality, resilience, reliability, security, performance, and operational readiness of the assigned platform.

A key objective is to eliminate black-box delivery, retain critical knowledge within Qiddiya, and ensure Qiddiya remains in full control of its digital platforms.

Key Responsibilities

  • Take end-to-end technical ownership of the assigned digital domain.
  • Define and maintain the target architecture, engineering standards, and technical roadmap.
  • Provide hands-on technical leadership across design, implementation, integration, release, and production operations.
  • Lead and challenge vendor engineering teams, ensuring compliance with Qiddiya Digital standards.
  • Review and approve architecture, APIs, data models, integrations, code quality, and major technical decisions.
  • Validate vendor deliverables using clear acceptance criteria and measurable technical evidence.
  • Ensure solutions are resilient, reliable, scalable, secure, observable, maintainable, and cost efficient.
  • Define and monitor technical KPIs, service-level objectives, availability, latency, recovery, and performance targets.
  • Ensure appropriate automated testing, CI/CD controls, monitoring, logging, tracing, and alerting are in place.
  • Validate release plans, rollout strategies, rollback procedures, capacity testing, disaster recovery, and production readiness.
  • Lead technical incident management, root-cause analysis, and permanent remediation.
  • Identify and manage technical debt, architectural risks, recurring incidents, and operational weaknesses.
  • Maintain architecture documentation, technical decisions, runbooks, and support procedures.
  • Drive knowledge transfer and ensure Qiddiya can independently operate and evolve the platform.
  • Promote reusable capabilities and common engineering practices across Qiddiya’s digital assets.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Technology, or a related discipline.
  • Extensive software-engineering experience in a Lead, Staff, Principal Engineer, Technical Lead, or senior architecture role.
  • Strong hands-on engineering capability and the ability to challenge implementation-level decisions.
  • Experience designing and operating large-scale, distributed, cloud-native, and highly available platforms.
  • Experience with customer-facing digital products, commerce, payments, loyalty, identity, ticketing, mobile, or similar platforms.
  • Strong knowledge of APIs, microservices, event-driven architecture, distributed systems, data consistency, and failure recovery.
  • Strong experience with resilience, observability, performance engineering, security, automated testing, CI/CD, and production operations.
  • Experience defining technical KPIs, service-level objectives, non-functional requirements, and acceptance criteria.
  • Proven experience overseeing vendors, system integrators, or outsourced engineering teams.
  • Strong incident-management, root-cause-analysis, and problem-management experience.
  • Strong communication, stakeholder-management, and technical decision-making skills

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.
