Job Description
Founding Engineer – Feddi
Remote · Full-Time · Eventual relocation to GCC
About Feddi
Feddi builds the infrastructure that connects payments to retail intelligence across the GCC.
Stack: TypeScript/Node.js, Express, PostgreSQL, React. Event-driven architecture with POS connectors, SDK/API layer, and a campaign engine.
The Role
Founding engineer. You own the platform — backend, frontend, APIs, infrastructure, deployments. You'll work in a small engineering team reporting directly to the CEO. No middle management.
You'll inherit an existing codebase and be responsible for its quality, reliability, and evolution. The system processes real money, so the bar is financial-grade correctness: idempotent operations, ledger integrity, full auditability.
We work with an AI-native development workflow (Claude Code). You'll be expected to use AI tooling seriously to move faster than a team your size should be able to.
