💼 Active Job Listings — June 2026

🤖 PhazeRo: Oman's Most Active AI Employer This Month

PhazeRo stands out as the single most active domestic AI employer in this month's scan. The Muscat-based consultancy is simultaneously advertising three roles spanning data science, machine learning engineering, and AI engineering. The company delivers solutions across energy, finance, telecom, and biotech, and is headquartered at Al Rudha, Muscat's premier co-working facility. All three roles are listed as hybrid arrangements, open to all nationalities.

The breadth of PhazeRo's current hiring suggests the company is scaling capacity to meet client demand, consistent with the broader growth of Oman's AI ecosystem. If you are building the foundations to compete for roles like these, the nine active accelerator and startup programs currently running in Oman offer mentorship, project experience, and direct exposure to the companies now doing the most hiring.

🐧 Canonical: Global Open-Source Jobs, Based in Muscat

Canonical, the company behind the Ubuntu Linux distribution and a major player in cloud and IoT infrastructure, maintains active hiring in Muscat. Its Field Software Engineer role combines Python development, cloud virtualisation (KVM, libvirt), and customer consulting, with up to 50% international travel. For Omani engineers seeking global exposure while keeping a Muscat base, this is one of the more unusual opportunities on the market. Full listings are at canonical.com/careers.

🔐 Cybersecurity: 22 Open Roles in Muscat Alone

As of June 2026, Glassdoor lists 22 active cybersecurity positions in Muscat, with Oman Arab Bank and Bank Muscat among the most visible employers. The most sought-after profiles combine cloud-native security skills (Azure Defender, AWS IAM/GuardDuty) with identity and access management (PAM) experience, reflecting the shift to cloud-first banking infrastructure reshaping GCC technology hiring.

💰 Salary Benchmarks — Muscat, 2026

Published data offers a rough framework for negotiating. A key local advantage: Oman levies no personal income tax, so gross salary equals take-home pay.

Note: Glassdoor's AI engineer figure is based on a limited number of self-reported salaries in Muscat. Leadership and specialist roles at oil-and-gas majors (Baker Hughes, GE Vernova) typically carry higher packages. Always negotiate; Oman employers are accustomed to it.

🇴🇲 Why This Matters for Oman

The diversity of employers in this list tells a meaningful story. Oman's tech job market is no longer defined by a single sector or employer type. Oil-and-gas companies, banks, global open-source firms, and homegrown AI startups are competing for the same talent pool. That competition is pushing salaries upward, expanding hybrid work norms, and creating career pathways that simply did not exist five years ago. Every one of the positions above is, in a small way, an expression of Vision 2040's ambition to build a knowledge economy. The roles are real, they are hiring now, and they are in Oman.
