Tabby generates over $18 billion in annual transaction volume for its partner brands and is the highest-rated, most-reviewed, largest, and fastest-growing FinTech in the GCC region.
Tabby launched in 2019 and has since raised +$1 billion in equity and debt funding from global and regional investors, and is now valued at $6,5 billion.About the team
Tabby Marketplace is where our users discover what to buy. The Content Quality & Personalisation team owns the data that makes the marketplace work: a catalogue of 25M+ products from thousands of merchants, ingested through feeds and e-commerce plugins (Shopify, Salla, Zid, Amazon and more), then categorised, enriched, translated, moderated and published, largely by ML.
You will lead a cross-functional team of ML engineers, backend and frontend engineers, QA and a product analyst. The team runs the LLM-based enrichment pipeline (categorisation, attribute extraction, translation), the item representation model and embeddings that power search and recommendations, ML-assisted moderation that is replacing manual review, and the labeling and evaluation platform behind all of it.
You will work closely with the Shopping, Offers and Monetisation teams, as well as catalogue operations and partner support.
What you’ll bring:
6+ years of engineering experience, including 3+ years building production ML systems (NLP, LLM applications, embeddings, or classification at scale)
2+ years as an Engineering Manager or ML Team Lead at a fast-growing e-commerce, marketplace or fintech company
Hands-on experience shipping LLM-based products: prompt and pipeline design, fine-tuning, evaluation, cost and latency control, self-hosted and API-based models
Experience building and operating large-scale data and ML pipelines (batch and streaming), and making them observable, reproducible and reliable
Solid backend fundamentals; you are comfortable reviewing Go and Python services and reasoning about distributed systems
Our stack: Python, Go, PostgreSQL, Pub/Sub, BigQuery, GCS, Kubernetes, Google Cloud Platform, Airflow, and a microservices architecture
A strong grasp of ML evaluation: golden datasets, labeling workflows, offline metrics, and A/B testing tied to business outcomes
Product sense: you connect catalogue quality to conversion, discovery and merchant growth, and you can prioritise accordingly
A proactive mindset and the ability to work independently
Strong communication skills in English (B2 level or higher)
Nice to have:
Experience with product catalogues, PIM systems, or marketplace content moderation
Experience with Arabic-language content
Familiarity with data residency and regulated-data requirements
Responsibilities:
Own the end-to-end product data pipeline: ingestion from feeds and plugins, ML enrichment, moderation and publication, with clear SLAs for freshness, coverage and quality
Lead the ML roadmap for catalogue intelligence: category tree and attribute coverage, translation quality, ML-assisted moderation, item embeddings and recommendations
Lead large cross-team projects and drive them to production
Contribute to quarterly planning and roadmap definition; define and report OKRs for catalogue quality and personalisation
Review feature designs and ensure non-functional requirements are met, including ML evaluation, inference cost, latency and data residency
Build and maintain the evaluation and labeling infrastructure that lets the team measure every model change before it reaches production
Oversee technical debt management and incident handling across ML and backend services
Hire, evaluate, and motivate team members; grow ML engineers into owners of business outcomes
Build cross-team and cross-functional collaboration with Shopping, Offers, Monetisation, catalogue operations and partner support to increase efficiency
Foster a results- and business-oriented culture
Monitor key team performance indicators
Ensure process and delivery transparency for stakeholders and partner functions
Optimise processes to improve productivity
What we offer:
Full-time B2B contract
Fully remote setup
Up to 20% tax allowance
22 paid leave days annually
Stock options (ESOP) in a fast-scaling, pre-IPO company
Flexi benefits you can use for wellness, travel, or learning
Work alongside a high-performing, international engineering team in a global fintech unicorn
