About the role
We are making every property transaction transparent, fast, and fair for everyone it touches.
Property is one of the largest, slowest, most opaque markets in the world. A typical UAE transaction involves a buyer, a seller, two agents, a brokerage, a developer, a bank, a regulator, and weeks of friction across them. Most of that friction exists because the underlying product is bad - fragmented data, manual handoffs, and incentives misaligned with the people the product is supposed to serve. We're rebuilding that infrastructure.
Engage is the operating system for how property gets bought, sold, and rented in the UAE. We're owned by Cencorp Group and embedded inside some of the country's largest brokerages - betterhomes, CRC, Linda's - which means our product touches a meaningful share of every property transaction in Dubai.
This isn't a typical internship role. You'll be embedded with the engineering team to build and improve the interfaces our brokers and clients use every day. You'll ship code that reaches real users from day one - not sandbox exercises or training projects.
When you're rebuilding infrastructure that brokers and agents rely on every day, the quality of the frontend matters. A slow, confusing UI is a feature that gets ignored. That's what this role helps fix.
You'll be working on live projects from day one, writing code that ships to real users and learning how a production frontend is structured and maintained.
What we're offering
Active coaching from experienced engineers who are deeply invested in your growth, skill development, and resume building.
Direct exposure to how a product team builds and ships features.
Real ownership over frontend components and interfaces that users rely on.
A portfolio of production-level work you can speak to in future interviews.
Cross-functional experience working with Product, Design, and Backend Engineering.

Location: Dubai, onsite
Duration: 3 months
Start date: 1 September 2026
Compensation: Unpaid - see what we're offering above
What you'll do
Build and modify UI components in React, following our existing design system and patterns.
Fix bugs and small issues across the frontend, learning how the codebase is structured as you go.
Work with designers to translate Figma designs into working, responsive interfaces.
Write clean, readable code that follows our conventions, and take feedback on it well.
Test your own work across browsers and screen sizes before handing it off for review.
Participate in code reviews, both giving and receiving feedback.
Collaborate with backend engineers to understand how the frontend connects to APIs and data.
Document any components or patterns you build so others can reuse them.
What you'll have
Solid working knowledge of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript fundamentals.
Some experience with React - personal projects, coursework, bootcamp, or a prior internship all count.
Understanding of how components, props, and state work.
Comfortable reading other people's code and asking questions when something is unclear.
Attention to detail - especially around how things actually look and behave, not just whether the code runs.
An AI-first mindset - you're comfortable using AI coding tools to move faster and learn on the job.
Eagerness to learn - this role will stretch you into workflows and systems you haven't seen before.
CS degree, bootcamp graduate, or equivalent self-taught experience.
