Engineering at Careem
Careem is led by a powerful purpose to simplify and improve lives in the Middle East, North Africa and Pakistan. We’re pioneering the development of innovative services to aid the mobility of people, the mobility of things and the mobility of money.
We’re in the driving seat as we help to define how technology will shape progress in some of the fastest-growing countries in the world. Our teams are building tech to meet the needs of the future in areas including, e-commerce, technology-enabled logistics, maps, identity, and fintech.
We’re well placed to solve complex and meaningful challenges at scale. We have deep tech expertise, strong regulatory relationships, a local presence, and increasingly specialised global teams which are structured to operate as autonomous start-ups. Our team of over 600 engineers and developers are empowered to develop cutting-edge technology every day.
We believe in supporting and nurturing local talent, and through our Careem Next Gen programme, we recruit junior engineers in Pakistan, Jordan and Egypt for a one-year graduate scheme.
What differentiates Careem is the authenticity of the mission: to simplify and improve the lives of people and to build an awesome organization that inspires. It’s the soul that keeps the heartbeat going and ambitions high. We touch about 2M lives everyday. The region that we serve has 500M people, so there is a 250x room for growth. We see this enormous opportunity as a trust, a privilege, and a blessing to be in a position to positively transform people’s lives. As a young and growing everything app, we are constantly in a race against time. Similar to how you have professional athletes, Careem makes you an athlete professional, requiring the endurance and excellence of champions, pushing the envelope, with a diamond will.
