Falcon Project Careem

One of the most valued firms in Pakistan, Careem, has started “Falcon Project” to help young Pakistani Engineers, to learn and find work.

About the Program

This is a 12-month training program consisting of multiple training modules, that will allow recent graduates in Pakistan to use world-class technology at Careem to solve real-world problems.

As of now, a little more than twenty falcons have signed up for the program, and nine of them have already moved to core tech teams in different places. This is to say; they can now work directly on a number of areas related to their app services, such as the mobility of people, goods, and money.

With Careem engineers themselves supervising the young engineers, they will be able to learn from some of the world’s most famous tech companies. The Engineering Director at Careem, Mr. Khurram Naseem said:

“As part of our goal to make people’s lives easier and better. We need to make sure the app works smoothly. This requires a very strong team of engineers who are always working to keep the quality of users’ experiences high. Through the Careem Falcon project, we can find talented engineers all over the region and give them the tools. They need to become world-class engineers”

One can only presume that Careem is planning to make Pakistan an epicenter of technology by expanding the engineering and IT landscape and hiring fresh graduates from across the country.

The young engineers who joined Careem for this purpose, aka Falcons, will be working remotely along with the engineering teams in Cairo, Jordan, Karachi, and Lahore.
