In the week to 27 September, 55 software engineer roles were open in Dubai at 15 employers. 17 new roles were posted during the week. Of the roles that say how they work, 7% are remote or hybrid.
Software engineering roles make up a substantial share of all positions listed on the board for Dubai, reflecting the city's broad technology sector. Among roles where seniority is stated, the majority are at lead level, with the remainder at senior level — there are no entry-level or mid-weight positions visible among the current listings. Hiring is spread across a fairly small number of employers, with the largest five accounting for most of the roles listed here. Postings are reasonably fresh: about a third appeared in the current week, and most of the rest arrived within the past month. Because there is not yet enough weekly history, no direction over time can be described.
Figures are measured every Monday.
Software engineers design, build and maintain the systems and applications that organisations depend on, working across areas such as backend services, frontend interfaces, data pipelines and cloud infrastructure. They collaborate in product-focused teams alongside designers, data professionals and product managers, and operate within modern delivery practices. In a city whose technology ecosystem includes business districts such as Dubai Internet City, government-backed initiatives like the Dubai Centre for Artificial Intelligence, and campus environments tied to major cloud and enterprise providers through the Dubai AI Campus, engineers are likely to encounter both large enterprise projects and early-stage product work. Firms operating within accelerator environments such as in5 add a start-up dimension to the market.
API design appears in the majority of role descriptions, making it the clearest technical thread across the listings. CI/CD pipelines, React and TypeScript each feature in roughly a quarter to a third of descriptions, pointing to a strong expectation of full-stack or integration capability. SQL and cloud platforms — principally AWS, alongside Azure — are also commonly mentioned. Containerisation and orchestration tools such as Kubernetes and event-streaming platforms such as Kafka appear in a meaningful share of descriptions, and a smaller but notable portion mention large language models.
On-site working dominates the roles listed here by a very wide margin, accounting for nearly all positions where a work mode is stated. Hybrid arrangements appear in only a small minority of listings, and fully remote roles are rare. Candidates should expect that most employers will be looking for regular physical presence at a Dubai location.
