Software Application Engineer – React (Cellular Communications)
Location: Abu Dhabi, UAE
Working Pattern: On site
Type: Permanent
Salary: Dependent on experience
Relocation: Open to candidates relocating — international applicants welcome
Company: Tektora, supporting an established defence technology client
Tektora are supporting an established defence technology client who are building the front end for their cellular communications products in Abu Dhabi, and are looking to speak with senior React engineers.
This role is open to relocation. The client is actively considering candidates from outside the UAE and will support the move for the right person.
This role would suit a front-end engineer who wants the interface to sit on top of something substantial — real-time cellular systems rather than another dashboard — and who is comfortable owning design decisions as well as implementation.
The Role
You will be involved in:
- Research, design and development of cellular communications applications using React and WebSocket
- Designing and building for deployment across multiple platforms and architectures, and maintaining the CI/CD pipeline
- Writing unit and integration tests, and unit testing your own code
- Working alongside developers, system architects and product managers to deliver production-grade solutions
- Contributing to technical and architectural decisions rather than only implementing them
- Working in multi-disciplinary Agile teams
Key Experience Required
- 10+ years in web application development with JavaScript, TypeScript, HTML and CSS
- 8+ years with React or a comparable component framework
- Redux, Docker and WebSocket in production
- Comfortable working from written specifications and designing against them
- Self-directed — able to plan and run a piece of work without close supervision
- Strong analytical, problem-solving and debugging skills
- BSc or equivalent in Computer Science or a related field
Desirable Experience
- UX and UI design — the client would like someone who can shape the interface, not only build it
- Real-time or streaming data interfaces, and data-dense operational displays
- Telecoms, defence, aerospace or another regulated, high-assurance environment
Interested?
Tektora are looking to speak with experienced React engineers who are open to relocating to Abu Dhabi.
