Our client is a fast-growing B2C consumer platform serving users across the Middle East. They are in the middle of a transformation from a commercially-led organisation to a product-led one and are looking for Product Engineers who think like owners, not ticket-takers.
About the Role
We're hiring a Senior Product Engineer to take full ownership of a product area end-to-end: development, testing, deployment, monitoring, operations, and the KPIs that go with it. You'll work as part of a small, focused product squad, with real autonomy and real accountability for outcomes.
This isn't a "build what's in the ticket" role. We want people with a genuine product mindset — who dig into the "why," push back when something doesn't serve the user, and don't stop until the outcome is actually accomplished.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What You'll Do
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
- Own the full lifecycle of a product area — development, testing, deployment, monitoring, and KPIs — working closely with a small product squad.
- Work on large-scale legacy systems and modernise them, maintaining a zero-downtime policy across an international, always-on consumer product.
- Build and maintain multi-tenant, multi-currency, multi-lingual systems used by our platform and its partners.
What We're Looking For
- 8+ years of professional software engineering experience.
- Prior experience working at a B2C consumer product company, ideally at scale (high-traffic, high-transaction-volume environments).
- A strong product mindset and a real sense of ownership — you treat your area like it's your own business.
- Solid hands-on experience with authentication and authorisation in production systems — token-based auth, session management, and a clear grasp of the distinction between the two.
- Practical experience implementing or integrating OAuth 2.0 flows for user-aware, third-party/partner access — not just theoretical knowledge of the spec.
- Experience designing or securing third-party/partner access, including scoping what an external system can see or do.
- Comfort working with both synchronous protocols (REST, gRPC) and, ideally, event-driven patterns (e.g. message brokers like Kafka) — and good judgment about when each is the right tool.
- Exposure to cloud-managed identity and API gateway tooling (e.g. AWS API Gateway, Cognito, or equivalents) is a strong plus.
