Position: NodeJS Developer (Washmen)
Company: United Software
Experience required: 5y
English level: upper

We were founded in 2015, and are a UAE-based startup operating in Dubai and Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates. 100% of our revenue is generated locally. 

**We are the largest retail laundry in the UAE** in terms of number of customers, as well as revenues. Furthermore, **we were ranked by the Internation Committee of Laundry and Textile Cleaning (CINET) as the best laundry in the UAE, Asia and 3rd best laundry in the world.**

Expansion is on the cards and we think there are 2 vectors of growth. 

The first is geographical expansion, where our core team would go to another market to launch our services there. 

The other is opening up our software to laundry players in all markets where we do not operate it, by transforming all of our existing modules to be compatible with a SaaS-based business model. We have a lot of inbounds and there’s a pipeline of interest locally, regionally and internationally.

Weekly all-hands company meetings where business, operations, customer service, product and marketing are discussed thoroughly.

**Our team**

We have 4 main products.
The customer app;
The driver app;
The facility portal (many small apps within);
The Admin panel.

There are also some integrations with hardware equipment.

The customer app, facility portal and admin panel have been refreshed recently. The driver app will need some refactoring but is stable. There is a big opportunity for joiners.
