Open roles in the hubs include front-end, back-end, and full stack engineering, web engineering, mobile engineering (IOS and android), data and AI and infrastructure engineering. Since the start of 2023, Careem says it has hired nearly 80 tech-focused roles in Pakistan, Jordan and Egypt.

“Since Careem’s inception, hundreds of technology professionals have played a role in building the region’s first marketplace platform and leapfrogging the region into the digital future,” Stephen Kruger, chief technology officer said. Universities in Pakistan, Jordan, and Egypt graduate around 90,000 software engineers annually but there are only a few regional mid-size tech companies for these graduates to join, according to Kruger.
