Engineering Manager, Backend

We are Qatar Insurance Company (QIC), the leading insurance provider in GCC. With a history dating back to 1964, we have established ourselves as a pioneer in the insurance industry, offering innovative solutions to meet the diverse needs of individuals and businesses.

Our vision is to make QIC group become the first Digital Ecosystem in the region by combining insurance and non-insurance services in one platform. Through our digital platforms, such as qic.online and the QIC app, we empower customers to manage their needs anytime and anywhere.

Our employees have been featured in Forbes 30 under 30, teach at online universities, serve on program committees of major IT conferences, and have previously worked at Yandex, Tinkoff, Avito, Ozon, and other leading tech companies.

About the position

As an Engineering Manager, you will join our Core Backend Team to ensure high delivery quality, efficient processes, and continuous team growth. This role bridges engineering and management, ideal for someone with a strong technical foundation in platform product development.

Responsibilities

Our Core team leads the development of both insurance and non-insurance services within QIC’s ecosystem. On the insurance side, we’re building a robust and scalable core for policy management, claims, and integrations. On the non-insurance side, we’re driving the creation of a lifestyle marketplace — from car care to everyday services — with the ultimate goal of building the backend for a future QIC super app. Across all areas, we focus on user engagement, monetization, and delivering seamless, high-impact experiences.

• Oversee day-to-day execution across backend sub-teams (Core, Non-Insurance, Platform)
• Work closely with the Head of Backend to coordinate development cycles, sprint planning, backlog updates, and delivery milestones
• Support team leads in managing priorities, removing blockers, and ensuring smooth collaboration between product and engineering
• Participate in technical reviews and provide input where needed — without being hands-on daily
• Conduct regular 1-on-1s and development reviews with engineers and team leads
• Foster growth, mentorship, and healthy engineering culture
• Improve team rituals — stand-ups, sprint retrospectives, release readiness
• Act as the key communication bridge between backend, product, QA, and analytics team.
