Location: Dubai, United Arab Emirates Remote: Yes Willing to relocate: Yes, with visa sponsorship Technologies: TypeScript, JavaScript, React, Next.js, React Native, Expo, Tailwind CSS, Node.js, NestJS, PostgreSQL, Stripe, Azure Communication Services, OpenAI, AWS Résumé/CV: https://motasimali.com/resume Email: [email protected] LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/motasim-ali-bhatti

Who I am: Senior Frontend Engineer with 8+ years of experience, including four years at GetBee building live video commerce products.

My work has included migrating video infrastructure from Agora to Azure Communication Services, building a React Native app when our existing mobile stack couldn’t support the required SDK, and redesigning our embedded widget to prevent conflicts with customer websites. I’ve also integrated AI call transcription and summaries using ACS and OpenAI, and contributed to product development that helped the company reach its first commercial sales.

Alongside my work, I’m building Skills & Bids, a services marketplace with bookings, subscriptions, payments and payouts. Building it has broadened my experience across backend architecture and the business decisions behind a product.

Frontend is my strongest area. I like taking ownership of a feature, understanding why users need it, and following it through implementation, release and improvements.

What I am looking for: Senior Frontend Engineer, hands-on Frontend Tech Lead, or frontend-focused Senior Product Engineer roles. Open to remote opportunities and relocation with sponsorship.

Best fit: A startup or product team that needs an experienced engineer who can work closely with founders, product and design, make practical technical decisions, and stay hands-on building. Particularly interested in SaaS, marketplaces and useful AI-powered products.
