Riwaq Labs

Engineers for your projects, without the hiring.

Tell us who you need. We find engineers in the West Bank who fit your criteria and interview them, and you can interview the finalists too. They work on your projects under our supervision and deliver a sprint every week, so you don't have to check in daily or assign tasks.

Roles

Role

Any role you would otherwise hire for. For example:

  • Web and full-stack. Front ends and the APIs behind them, for platforms like RIWAQ and the Abaad ledger.
  • Backend and API. Data models, sign-in, notifications and records that keep their history.
  • Mobile. Native apps for iPhone and Android, like Rayyeh's iPhone app on the App Store.
  • Cloud and DevOps. Infrastructure and deployment, on AWS or the setup you already run.
  • AI and RAG. Features built on large language models, and RAG systems that answer from your own documents and data.
  • Something else. Tell us the role on the call.

Your engineers work in your stack, whatever it is.

Hours

Your engineers work on West Bank time, like us: UTC+2, and UTC+3 in summer. That is about an hour ahead of Central Europe, so the working day overlaps Europe's.

Founders

Yanal and Laith founded Riwaq Labs. They are the people you talk to and the engineers who supervise and guide your team. The engineers who work on your project are the ones we find and interview for you.
