About the company
Tabby builds financial products used by millions of users across the GCC. We work on high-load, security-critical backend systems with strict regulatory requirements.
This internship is not educational by default. It is an engineering role with real responsibility.
Context
Backend engineers at Tabby work on the systems behind core financial products. This includes distributed services, APIs, data storage, integrations with external providers, and internal platforms supporting multiple product teams.
The internship is designed for strong early-career engineers. Interns are embedded into real backend teams, work on production code, and are expected to meet engineering standards from day one.
Key Responsibilities
This is not a helper role. Interns work on real production tasks under senior review.
- Develop and maintain backend services using Go
- Work with relational and in-memory data stores
- Contribute to API development and service-to-service integrations
- Participate in designing and evolving backend components
- Read and understand existing system architecture and data flows
- Write code with a focus on correctness, reliability, and maintainability
- Participate in code reviews and technical discussions
- Fix real bugs and address technical debt in production systems
