Located on three floors and over 100,000 square feet, the office is designed with sustainability in mind, as it features several environmentally friendly elements, including low-water usage water systems, LED lighting, and open windows to let in natural light, reducing the building’s environmental impact.

Meanwhile, the local team includes more than 400 developers and engineers who will serve customers in nine markets, including the UAE, Kuwait, Bahrain, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Oman, Qatar and Saudi Arabia.

Tomaso Rodriguez, talabat’s CEO, said: “The opening of our tech HQ in Dubai is a testament to our continued commitment to championing technology in the region and attracting tech talent. Our dedicated team of developers and engineers is quite unique in that it builds and maintains the head and heart of our platform – right here at the heart of the city – and not far away.”

“The team is looking to further grow with over 100 product and tech positions, more than half of which will be based out of our new Dubai tech HQ.”
