About ARK47 Studio

ARK47 Studio is a Saudi AI app, available on the App Store and Google Play, that builds business systems from a plain-language description: for example HR, bookings, an online store or a sales board. It drafts a plan with the business owner first, then builds the screens, data and access permissions. We are a Riyadh team bringing it to businesses in the Kingdom and beyond.

To get to know our work, we recommend downloading ARK47 Studio from the App Store or Google Play via our careers page: careers.apexops.sa

  • Based in Riyadh, or willing to relocate to Riyadh.
  • 3+ years building backend services with Node.js and TypeScript.

Pay and terms
  • Total monthly salary SAR 16,000–24,000 (basic salary plus allowances), depending on experience.
  • Full-time, on-site at our Riyadh office; working days, hours and annual leave per the Saudi Labour Law.
