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 where you shadow and observe. Your first assignment is a real data-integrity project: we're evaluating a new property data API against our current source, and need to know whether it can be trusted before we rely on it. You'll pull data from both APIs across every area of Dubai, build a methodology to match records between them, and tell us where the two sources agree, where they don't, and why.

When you're rebuilding infrastructure that brokers and agents depend on, the quality of the data underneath it is the difference between a product that earns trust and one that loses it. That's what this role contributes to.

You'll be working on a live, real-stakes project from day one - not a sandbox exercise - with a clear deliverable the business will actually use to make a decision.
