Public work matters more than titles: a GitHub or portfolio the hiring manager can click through in under a minute usually beats an extra bullet on your CV.
Name the exact stack in your CV so a keyword screener + a skim-reader both find it — languages, frameworks, cloud, databases.
For interviews: expect a technical screen (coding or system design) before the on-site loop. Practice explaining trade-offs out loud, not just writing correct code.
For English-only teams verify your written English is sharp — most Egypt-based tech scaleups run interview loops entirely in English.
