MENA/GCC startups
Remote-friendly teams that need senior engineering capacity without slowing down.
Hamza Amayreh
Remote software engineer for startups that need product, cloud, and integration work shipped
Available for remote roles, contract projects, and consulting in MENA/GCC-friendly time zones.
I work across backend, frontend, databases, CI/CD, GCP, and business integrations when a lean team needs clear ownership.
Best fit
Best fit
I am most useful when a startup needs one engineer to own messy cross-functional work and keep shipping.
E-commerce and messaging
WhatsApp Business API, customer workflows, e-commerce integrations, and automation-heavy operations.
Lean product teams
Founders and CTOs who need someone comfortable crossing backend, cloud, database, and frontend boundaries.
Reliability gaps
Teams that need cleaner CI/CD, better cloud operations, and production systems that are easier to run.
Services
What I can help with
Practical engineering help for teams that need momentum, ownership, and systems that can survive real usage.
Business integrations
Build and maintain integrations around WhatsApp Business API, e-commerce platforms, customer messaging, marketing automation, and third-party systems.
Startup engineering
Turn ambiguous product and business needs into working software across backend services, internal tools, customer-facing features, and operational workflows.
Reliable infrastructure
Improve deployment, cloud operations, GitHub Actions CI/CD, Docker workflows, GCP infrastructure, and production reliability.
Database work
Design, maintain, and troubleshoot PostgreSQL, Redis, MySQL, BigQuery, and data flows that support real business operations.
Frontend delivery
Ship practical frontend features when the product needs it, especially dashboards, workflows, and interfaces connected to backend systems.
Operating style
How I work
- I take ownership of unclear problems and reduce them into shippable steps.
- I prefer simple systems, rapid iteration, and code that can be deployed and operated without drama.
- I work well with founders, product teams, and business stakeholders when the engineering path is not fully defined.
- I can go deep in backend and platform work while still helping with databases, frontend, infrastructure, and automation.
