Careem bucks downsizing trend as it goes on hiring spree in Pakistan, Jordan and Egypt – The National

Careem has dozens of open engineering roles in Pakistan, Jordan and Egypt as it looks to expand its Super App offerings in key markets and buck a trend among technology companies of shrinking workforces amid a wider market correction.

Headcount at the Dubai-based company has increased by about 200 employees since the start of 2022, with nearly half of roles requiring engineering skills.

Local expertise is a main reason Careem is hiring for around 90 roles in cities such as Alexandria, Cairo, Amman, Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad.
