Tabby builds financial products used by millions of users across the GCC. Data is a core part of how products, risk, finance, and operations are built and scaled. We work with large volumes of data under strict requirements for quality, cost efficiency, and regulatory compliance.
This internship is not educational by default. It is an engineering role with real responsibility.
