An e-commerce company in Kuwait City is hiring a Tech Lead / Project Manager to manage their in-house development team. This is a role that combines hands-on technical expertise with leadership and project management responsibilities. From writing code and reviewing architecture to mentoring developers and delivering key features, you’ll be involved in every aspect of the development cycle.

This job is perfect for someone who’s not only a strong coder but also thrives in team environments and enjoys translating business ideas into working products. You’ll also get the chance to build your own team, shape the project from the ground up, and help scale a product with real impact.

And importantly, this job posting is shared by Kuwait Jobs Match as a completely free listing. There are absolutely no placement fees, no application fees, and no hidden costs. If someone ever asks you to pay to apply for a job, that’s a red flag—this listing is 100% legitimate and fee-free.

About the Role

• Job Title: Tech Lead / Project Manager
• Department: IT / Development
• Location: Sharq, Kipco Tower, Kuwait City
• Company: Confidential (contact through HR email)
• Type: Full-time, onsite with occasional coordination with external partners
• Eligibility: Open to local and international applicants (relocation to Kuwait required)

In this role, you'll manage the full lifecycle of an e-commerce application, ensuring that both the product and the people building it are functioning at their best. You’ll lead technical decisions, guide your team, coordinate with stakeholders, and play a critical role in delivering high-quality digital products on time.

Key Responsibilities

1. Lead and manage the in-house software development team focused on the company’s e-commerce platform.
2. Take an active role in coding (especially in Flutter, Laravel, and related frameworks).
   
3. Review your team’s code to maintain quality and scalability, following modern coding best practices.
   
4. Hire developers and build a well-rounded, technically skilled team to handle a growing workload.
   
5. Plan the project roadmap, assign tasks, and ensure deadlines are consistently met.
6. Act as the key communication link between the business side (marketing, operations, etc.) and the development team.
7. Implement, enforce, and train developers on performance, security, and scalable code standards.
8. Troubleshoot complex technical issues and propose timely solutions.
   
9. Work closely with third-party vendors, API providers, and other technical partners as needed.
   
10. Regularly update stakeholders on progress, milestones, risks, and priorities.

• At least 5 years of hands-on development experience, including 2+ years leading a team or managing projects.
• Ability to recruit, train, and manage developers.
• Previous experience with e-commerce platforms, retail tech systems, or scalable B2C apps is highly preferred.
• Knowledge of coding standards, version control systems, and modern dev workflows (e.g., CI/CD, code reviews).
• Capable of balancing multiple priorities and delivering features on time.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to act as a liaison between technical and non-technical teams.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field.
