Tech Lead

Who We Are

KNE operates in a mission-critical environment where execution quality, safety, and trust matter every day.

We are building technology as a strategic backbone — not as a support function.

Vision

To lead our local market by keeping people moving, safely and reliably, every day.

Mission

To be the trusted local partner that keeps people moving — no matter the building or the moment.

Why This Role Exists

We are building internal enterprise technology capability to create long-term competitive advantage.

Not automation for the sake of efficiency. Not tools for the sake of modernization.

We are building systems that:

• Enable teams to execute better and faster
• Raise performance standards across the company
• Meet and exceed global benchmarks
• Convert operational excellence into strategic leverage
• Deliver a customer experience that sets us apart

This role exists to shape the future architecture of the company — not maintain legacy systems.

Role Purpose

Own technical architecture and execution of our digital transformation journey.

This role exists to create scalable, reliable enterprise systems that integrate operations, finance, sales, and field execution into one disciplined technology backbone.

You are responsible for engineering clarity, stability, and long-term maintainability — not just delivering code.

What Youll Do

• Lead developers and own technical architecture decisions
• Translate complex business requirements into scalable system designs
• Design and manage ERP, CRM, and enterprise integrations
• Enforce high standards for code quality, performance, and security
• Establish CI/CD pipelines and ensure reliable deployments
• Collaborate cross-functionally with operations, finance, and sales
• Mentor developers and raise engineering standards
• Identify risks early and design systems that prevent operational failure

Success is measured by system reliability, adoption, scalability, and operational impact — not by feature count.

Who You Are

You are someone who:

• Thinks in systems, not modules
• Designs for scale and long-term maintainability
• Balances business needs with architectural discipline
• Takes ownership of outcomes, not tickets
• Mentors others and raises technical standards
• Operates independently in high-accountability environments

You do not build quick fixes. You build foundations.

Preferred Requirements

• 5+ years as Senior Developer, System Engineer, or Technical Lead
• Strong experience in enterprise architecture and system integration
• Backend expertise (PHP preferred; Symfony/Laravel a plus)
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines, cloud platforms, and version control
• Fluency in Arabic and English

Judgment, architectural thinking, and ownership matter more than titles.

Why This Role Matters

Done well, this role directly impacts:

• Company-wide execution standards
• Operational scalability
• Data reliability and decision quality
• Long-term competitive positioning
• Customer experience and trust

Technology at KNE is not a support function. It is a strategic multiplier.
