Our approach

Every improvement delivered through our digital channels begins with the work of our engineering teams. At Emirates NBD, we've been investing in developer experience for many years. What began with the launch of the Sahab Portal and Leap Framework in 2018 has evolved into today's Emirates NBD Developer Hub, bringing together the Leap Framework, Leap Developer Portal and Leap IDE into a single, integrated engineering ecosystem.

Artificial intelligence is embedded throughout Emirates NBD Developer Hub to support our engineers at every stage of the software development lifecycle. From generating code and documentation to assisting with testing and development workflows, AI helps automate routine tasks and improve productivity.

Combined with reusable engineering capabilities, it empowers our engineers and agile squads to focus on solving business challenges, improving customer experiences and building better banking solutions faster.

Inside Emirates NBD Developer Hub

Developer Hub brings together three core capabilities that support every stage of the software development lifecycle.

Leap Framework

A library of reusable engineering components, templates and standards that helps teams build secure, consistent applications without starting from scratch.

Leap Developer Portal

A single destination where engineers can discover APIs, documentation, reusable services and engineering resources including an Architecture Hub housing the architecture catalogue and application dependencies, and an AI Hub for approved AI models, tools and use cases, making it easier to build on existing capabilities across the bank.

Leap IDE

An AI-enabled integrated developer environment that brings together best-in-class tools to support the entire Software Development Lifecycle from ideation, story mapping, product design, coding, testing to deployment —equipping every role such as product owners, business analysts, designers, solution architects, engineers, DevOps and IT Operations teams.

Together, these capabilities create a connected developer experience that helps our agile squads create innovative banking experiences for our customers more efficiently, while maintaining consistent engineering standards, security and governance across the organisation.

What's next

Technology continues to reshape how banking is built. Emirates NBD will continue investing in Developer Hub by expanding its capabilities with frontier technologies that help our engineers responsibly deliver innovative banking experiences for millions of customers at greater speed.
