As a talented software engineer with the Emirates Group you’ll develop and maintain new software solutions across a range of areas using cutting-edge technologies. You’ll be part of an agile team with the autonomy to handle software engineering projects. This includes integrating third-party products as well as in-house custom built applications. You’ll have opportunity to work with a broad mix of technology platforms and software languages as you design, build, test and integrate these solutions. We follow the latest software development and deployment practices through a continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) for both on-premises and cloud deployment.

You’ll integrate and organise our vast web of technologies into a set of technical products that work for our businesses and create a better customer experience. As part of our team you’ll define the vision, set the roadmap, prioritise the backlogs and manage a complex sequence of events to bring our innovative and intelligent digital products to life.

We’re moving to a microservices and event-driven approach to architecture to make sure that each technical solution is designed to meet our business needs and standards. You’ll be a technical expert behind developing leading-edge, best-in-class technology experiences.

As a scrum master or release train engineer you’ll foster tight integration with our business partners. We deliver iterations through Scrum, Kanban and Scaled Agile methodologies.

Focusing on both functional and non-functional testing, you’ll make use of automation platforms to guarantee the quality of all technical solutions. Through automated regression testing and performance engineering, we can now test and deploy our applications faster than ever before.

As a site reliability engineer you’ll deliver, maintain and operate applications, infrastructure, and technology platforms. All while taking care to deliver projects rapidly, securely and efficiently. We’ll use our platforms and tools to automate the build and deployment process of our infrastructure and technology solutions across both on-premises and cloud data centres. At the same time, you’ll manage the overall stability and performance of our production systems.

You’ll help to establish, manage and operate the core networks, servers, storage and shared platforms in keeping with our IT infrastructure library framework. This team runs our private and public clouds using the latest software-defined networking, virtualisation and containerisation technologies. Ultimately we deliver and operate mission-critical, high-available, high-performance infrastructure and application services. Our 24x7 Technology Command Centre makes sure that all our services are operational and accessible at every moment of the day.

Our highly skilled team of experts are well versed in combining technology with aviation cybersecurity expertise. Our global 24x7 operations centre monitors and responds to threats. Our cybersecurity team embeds security into every aspect of our technology, and as part of our team you’ll monitor and protect systems across the Emirates Group. This team continually reviews and tests all our technology for vulnerabilities and weaknesses before any technology is used anywhere in our business.

There’s never been a more exciting time to join the Innovation team at Emirates. Under the new sponsorship of the COO, the Emirates Pavilion building in EXPO City is the new centre for innovation, and the scale and scope of our portfolio has grown exponentially. You could be working with Intelak and Aviation X-Lab - our industry-leading programmes for startups, developing software and hardware robotics for critical operational areas, establishing our presence in the Metaverse and other Web 3.0 technologies. There are many opportunities for software engineers, start-up programme leads, Web 3.0 community engagement experts and further specialist positions.
