• Access to healthcare benefits and fitness reimbursements for health activities including gym, health club, and training classes.

About the role

As a Key Account Manager, you will be responsible for managing and growing strategic partnerships with top restaurant brands in Dubai. Your role will focus on driving order growth, optimizing operational performance, and maximizing partner engagement through data-driven insights and tailored marketing strategies.

• Growth & Strategy – Develop and execute business growth plans, leveraging advertising, promotions, and strategic initiatives to increase partner performance.
• Partner Experience & Satisfaction – Use data-driven decision-making to analyze performance, drive operational excellence, and enhance the overall merchant and user experience. Work closely with merchants and internal teams to identify and address pain points, improving satisfaction and retention.
• Cross-functional Collaboration – Partner with internal teams including Supply, Finance, Marketing, and Business Development to align on growth objectives and ensure seamless execution

• Access to healthcare benefits and fitness reimbursements for health activities including gym, health club, and training classes.

• Tip of the Spear: Lead the deployment of WorkOS in the field. You will be responsible for understanding a customer's operational "chaos" and architecting an AI-driven solution that fixes it in weeks, not months.
• Rapid-Fire Execution: Build, iterate, and ship. You will write high-quality, full-stack code to create bespoke integrations and augment our platform’s core capabilities and create custom agents. This goes beyond context engineering; you’ll build the connective tissue - integrating bespoke APIs, setting up RAGs and Evals, tuning the E2E system and performance, and architecting multi-agent handoffs.
• Feedback Loop Mastery: You are the eyes and ears of the product team. You will translate field-tested insights into core product requirements, ensuring WorkOS remains grounded in real-world utility.
• Winning Stakeholders: Act as the technical face of WorkOS. You’ll need to win the trust of stakeholders, navigate complex enterprise hierarchies, and persuade skeptics by shipping results that speak for themselves.

• Full-Stack Polyglot: Mastery of the modern stack (React/TS, Python/Node) with the ability to jump into any codebase and be productive on day one.
• AI Fluidity: Strong working knowledge of LLMs, prompt engineering, and agentic frameworks. You don't just know the theory; you know how to make AI work in production.
• Excellent Communication: You are a "social engineer." You can explain complex AI logic to a CEO and then pivot to a deep-dive session with an infrastructure lead without missing a beat.
• Relentless Bias for Action: You are a builder who values shipping over perfection. You have a "founder-level" sense of ownership and aren't afraid to get your hands dirty.
• Willingness to work on-site full time in UAE, with occasional travel to be embedded with regional partners.

• A Blank Canvas and Live Ammunition: The rare opportunity to build a "0-to-1" product while immediately deploying it into the real-world operations of a regional giant. No "sandbox" projects here, you’ll be shipping code that moves people and goods on day one. This is a huge opportunity to create impact in our region.
• A Special Ops Mission: We’re a lean, impact-obsessed team operating with total autonomy. You’ll be free from corporate bureaucracy and legacy baggage, focused entirely on winning the customer and solving "unsolvable" problems.
• Direct Collaboration with Leadership: Direct engagement with Careem and enterprise client leadership, in addition to working side-by-side with the WorkOS founding team including Magnus Olsson (Careem’s original Co-founder).

The Mission
We believe the transformative potential of AI is significantly under-realised in our region. To bridge this gap, we are incubating a new division within Careem dedicated to Enterprise AI Transformation. 
We are reimagining and building the future of work to simplify and improve how businesses function in the era of GenAI with WorkOS: a next-generation ‘operating system’ designed to deploy, orchestrate, and improve AI agents across every customer and operational journey (and increasingly autonomously). This isn’t just automation; it’s about creating a hybrid workforce where self-learning AI agents handle the heavy lifting, empowering our people to focus on the highest-value, most creative work.

The Team
This group operates as a startup within Careem with a distinct mandate: move fast, build boldly, and deliver production-grade AI systems that fundamentally change how the region leverages technology. 

The Opportunity
We are looking for an exceptional founding Backend Engineer to build the WorkOS platform. This is a role for a systems-thinker who wants to work at the intersection of high-scale distributed systems and AI orchestration. You will be responsible for building the "brain" of WorkOS, the engine that deploys and manages autonomous agents across the region’s most complex operational journeys at massive scale.

As one of the first engineers in WorkOS, you will have a disproportionate impact on our technical foundation, culture, and the speed at which we move from 0 to 1.

What You’ll Do

• Architect and Build the WorkOS Engine: Design and build the scalable backend services and architectures required to orchestrate complex AI workflows and real-time data streaming. Leverage novel technologies to build cutting-edge capabilities. 
• Set the Engineering Gold Standard: As a founding member, you will establish our backend best practices, from CI/CD and observability to security and system integrity, ensuring a high-velocity but rigorous engineering culture.
• Solve for Distributed Complexity: Navigate the unique challenges of integrating AI agents into legacy enterprise stacks, ensuring low-latency communication and robust data consistency.
• Database design: Build our data infrastructure, leveraging relational, schemaless, and vector stores to power the platform and create persistent brains for our Agents. 
• Full-Cycle Ownership: Own the lifecycle of the platform, from rapid prototyping of new agent capabilities to maintaining production-grade systems at enterprise scale.
• Drive AI-Accelerated Engineering: Constantly experiment with AI-assisted development to move faster than traditional teams, while maintaining a bar for superb technical quality and craft.
• Lead Pioneer Deployments: While building the core platform, you will occasionally lead the charge on first-of-their-kind implementations for strategic partners, ensuring our tech solves real-world operational complexity.
• Operate with High Agency: In this lean, startup-style environment, you will be responsible for outcomes over inputs, rolling your sleeves up to code and balancing investments in the long-term technical roadmap with the need to ship value quickly.

What You’ll Need: 

• 8–12+ years of professional backend engineering experience, with significant tenure acting as a Staff Engineer or Technical Lead for complex, high-scale distributed systems.
• Mastery of Backend Systems: Deep expertise in languages like Python, Go, or Node.js, with a proven track record of architecting concurrency, microservices, and high-throughput data pipelines.
• AI-Native Infrastructure Depth: Hands-on experience with LLM orchestration (LangChain, etc.), vector databases (Pinecone, Milvus), and RAG architectures at a production-grade level.
• Systems-Level Visionary: The ability to design "platform-first", thinking in terms of APIs, modularity, and extensibility so that the WorkOS core can support infinite customer use cases.
• Obsession with Performance: A specialist's focus on latency and system observability; you believe that AI interactions must feel "instant" and "bulletproof" to be valuable.
