About the company
Tabby builds financial products used by millions of users across the GCC. We work on high-load, security-critical systems with strict regulatory requirements.

Context
Frontend engineers at Tabby work on both product and platform-level interfaces used by millions of users and internal teams. This includes complex user flows, shared frontend libraries, design systems, internal tools, and cross-team integrations.
The internship is designed for strong early-career engineers. Interns are embedded into real teams, work on production code, and are expected to meet engineering standards from day one.
