BitBee

Careers

Build the whole thing. Then stay with it.

We build it, launch it, and keep it running. We hire people who want to own more than one layer of that.

Who we are looking for

The same brief, from both sides

Who we are

BitBee is a Saudi engineering team. Every system we have delivered runs on infrastructure we configured ourselves, and a number of them remain under our care today.

In practice the engineer who writes the code is the one who deploys it, monitors it and responds when it fails. It is a demanding way to work, and it is the reason clients stay with us after launch.

Who you are

You have shipped something with real users and stayed with it afterwards. You would rather understand the server your code runs on than hand that responsibility to someone else.

You can explain your work to the person paying for it as clearly as to another engineer, in Arabic and English, because our clients work in both.

How we work

Five things we hold each other to

  • Own the whole thing

    The database, the server, the app and the monitoring are one job, handled by one team.

  • Stay after launch

    Launch is the middle of the work. What runs for years afterwards matters just as much.

  • Say the honest thing

    Including when it costs us the work: that a feature is a poor idea, or that a client does not need what they asked for.

  • Explain it plainly

    Our clients are not engineers. Work is not finished until it can be explained to them.

  • Both languages, properly

    Arabic is not a translation pass at the end. It changes the layout, the flow and the wording, and we design for it from the start.

What's in it for you

What the job actually gives you

  • Real clients, named

    You work on systems that belong to a client, with their name on them.

  • The whole stack

    You work across the layers rather than one of them. You can specialise if you want to, but nobody is restricted to a single area.

  • Jeddah or remote

    Saudi working hours, from the office in Jeddah or remote within the Kingdom.

  • Your work is visible

    The team is small enough that your work is identifiable and decisions are made quickly.

Where

Jeddah, and remote within the Kingdom

We are in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Most of the team is here; some of it is remote within the Kingdom.
