Software Engineer

Software Engineer, remote, working the UAE day for Hamd Holdings, a Dubai-based group of three operating companies.
About the group
Hamd Holdings is the parent of Magnetic Keys, an AI-integrated marketing agency; Lymora, an AI workforce and enablement company; and Special Minds, a special educational needs support service. The group runs several websites and internal web applications, most of them built with AI-assisted development tools including Claude Code. This role owns all of them and reports to the Chairman.
What you will do
Take ownership of the group's websites and web applications: hosting, domains, DNS, deployments, uptime, backups and security.
Maintain and extend codebases built in Next.js and TypeScript, with Python build scripts, Supabase and SQLite databases, and static hosting on Hostinger and GitHub.
Work fluently with AI-assisted development: review, test and correct code produced with Claude Code, and use it yourself to ship faster without lowering the standard.
Run every change through the existing checks: build, fact-check, contrast, SEO and link gates, before it reaches production.
Set up analytics, forms, email delivery and payment flows correctly, and keep them working.
Keep repositories, environment variables, credentials and access tidy and documented, with least-privilege access for every team member.
Respond to production issues during the working day and keep a short log of incidents and fixes.
Advise the Chairman in plain language on what to build, buy or retire.
What you will not do
Deploy to production without the checks passing and a written note of what changed.
Store credentials, client data or children's records anywhere outside the approved systems.
Publish a factual claim, price or date on any site without a source, or change site copy on your own initiative.
Who this suits
Four or more years of professional software development, at least two shipping and maintaining production web applications.
Strong in TypeScript, React and Next.js, comfortable in Python and shell, and confident with Git and GitHub workflows.
Real experience with hosting and DNS, static and server deployments, Supabase or a comparable Postgres platform.
Daily user of AI coding tools who can explain what they get wrong and how you catch it.
Cares about performance, accessibility and search, and can read a Lighthouse report and act on it.
Writes clear notes. Handover documents and incident logs are part of the job.
Full professional proficiency in English. Comfortable working remotely on UAE hours.
