Software Engineer

About the Role

Key Responsibilities

• Architect lean, performance-driven software structures for custom, in-house systems. Select and implement optimized design patterns and lightweight, purpose-built modular libraries.
• Translate business requirements into clear, technical blueprints.
• Design and enforce a secure, direct database-to-client pipeline, mandating that all database CRUD operations are handled exclusively through highly optimized Stored Procedures.
• Write highly optimized, clean, and secure native code. Lead strict code reviews and enforce technical quality, low-latency execution, and raw performance standards.
• Participate in sprint planning, backlog grooming, and retrospectives. Break down complex features into manageable development tasks, estimate effort, and implement streamlined continuous integration and testing pipelines.
• Investigate and resolve complex architectural bugs, system latencies, and slow query execution plans. Perform root-cause analysis and implement long-term structural and database-level fixes.
• Collaborate with BPOs, QA, and other engineers. Provide technical mentorship to developers on optimized Stored Procedures, clean native coding practices, and efficient memory management.
• Implement secure coding standards, focusing on restricted database execution permissions, and ensure compliance with data protection laws and industry security standards.
• Maintain clear documentation of technical architecture, API interfaces, and database schemas. Host internal technical workshops on database performance tuning and direct-query optimization.

Qualifications and Experience

• 5-10 years of experience in software engineering.
• Demonstrated ability to design and develop high-quality, lightweight software solutions.
• Experience with enforcing engineering and database best practices.
• Proficiency in architecting performance-driven software structures and implementing optimized design patterns.
• Strong understanding of database CRUD operations and Stored Procedures.
• Experience with agile software delivery methodologies.
• Ability to perform complex problem-solving and debugging.
• Experience in technical mentorship and collaboration with cross-functional teams.
• Knowledge of secure coding standards and data protection compliance.

Work Environment

• This is a full-time position based in Jeddah, Makkah, Saudi Arabia, within a team focused on delivering secure and high-performance custom systems for International Water Distribution Co. (Tawzea).
