What the role is
An engineering post inside a university research college, not a product company. HBKU’s College of Science and Engineering wants someone to take research prototypes and turn them into reliable, tested software: designing and building systems, setting up testing and deployment pipelines, reviewing code, documenting, and guiding research teams on engineering practice.
Who can apply
The posting states no nationality restriction. HBKU asks for a bachelor’s in computer science, computer engineering or a related field, plus 6–8 years of full-time experience. The skills list is broad: several languages (Python, C++, Java, TypeScript, Go and Rust are named), CI/CD and automated testing, Linux, Docker and backend/API work. Arabic is a plus. This suits an experienced engineer who likes research settings and reproducible work.
What you get
HBKU lists a tax-free salary (no figure given), an accommodation allowance, annual paid leave and medical insurance. The posting does not mention relocation or visa support, so confirm these with HBKU if you live outside Qatar.
How to apply
Apply through the online form linked from the HBKU posting (it opens on hbku.wufoo.com, HBKU’s form provider). Applying is free.

Checked on the employer’s page on 2026-09-26. HBKU lists the closing date as 24 October 2026 with no time zone; plan to submit a few days early. The posting may close sooner if the role is filled.
