In early Q1 of 2025, Tech for Palestine was experiencing rapid growth and needed skilled engineers to support both their internal product development and the growing roster of projects in their startup incubator. They turned to Apricot International to help build the engineering capacity needed to scale. Apricot International is uniquely positioned for challenges like this. With leadership and talent from Fortune 50 companies such as Google, Salesforce, and Target, our team brings deep expertise in product, engineering, and operations. That expertise allowed us to quickly assess Tech for Palestine’s technology stack—including Python, JavaScript, React, React Native, and AWS—and identify the right engineers to help them move fast without compromising quality. In just a short time, we assembled a high-performing team:
Two mid-level engineers based in Cairo, originally from Gaza
One lead engineer with over 20 years of experience based in the West Bank
These engineers weren’t just talented—they had real-world experience building production-grade software, and they were ready to contribute from day one.
Since joining, the Apricot-sourced team has contributed to dozens of projects across Tech for Palestine’s incubator. They are now helping drive the organization’s engineering roadmap, proving once again that the MENA region—and especially Palestine—is home to world-class, resilient, and highly skilled tech talent. At Apricot, we’re proud to be a bridge between opportunity and talent. If your organization is looking to build with purpose, we can find the team to bring your project forward.
