Deepak Kumar Jha
Node.js Technical Lead · Senior Full-Stack Engineer — Open to Dubai / UAE
Currently based in New Delhi NCR, India — actively relocating to the UAE, not currently a UAE resident. 13 years building backend systems and full-stack platforms, most recently as Technical Lead at SmartSitting.
- Degree attestation
- MOFA-attested (UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs) — ready for work-permit processing, no delay on this step.
- Availability
- 15 days' notice. Immediate joiner by regional standards.
- Onsite interviews
- Willing to fly to the UAE for final-round or onsite interviews at own or sponsored cost, on reasonable notice.
- Time zone overlap
- IST is 1.5 hours ahead of GST — a full working day's overlap with Dubai/Abu Dhabi teams, no async handoff required.
Regulated and compliance-adjacent domain experience
Relevant for banking, fintech and other regulated UAE sectors: at Toppan Merrill LLC, delivered enterprise compliance portals for financial, legal and healthcare clients across North America, Europe and APAC — regulated financial services and RegTech, on Node.js, Angular and GCP. At Indegene Limited, worked in a similarly regulation-heavy domain (life sciences), where data handling and audit requirements shape the architecture as much as the features do.
What a Dubai/UAE team gets
- — A Technical Lead who has scaled a system to 60M+ monthly users (LiveHindustan.com, HT Media) and led teams of 4–14 engineers.
- — Full working-day time-zone overlap with GST, so standups, reviews and incident response happen live, not by handoff.
- — No visa or attestation lead time on the candidate's side — the degree attestation is already done.
- — Hands-on production AI experience: RAG, LLM integration and MCP agents, shipped and publicly demoable — see the live demos.
