Applied AI - Forward Deployed Engineer

Location

What You'Ll Do

• Work directly with major clients to translate ambiguous business problems into well-framed agentic workflows, with clear success criteria
• Own the design, build, and deployment of LLM-powered agents end-to-end, from early prototype to production-grade system
• Flex into whatever the problem demands, backend, frontend, data, integration, to ship the most effective solution
• Build features for the core agentic platform across the full product lifecycle
• Act as the trusted technical voice in the room with senior client stakeholders, then go and build what you've scoped
• What we're looking for
• This is a hybrid profile, the rare engineer who combines three things most people only have one or two of:
• **Technical depth**
• , you build production-grade software in Python; you've shipped RAG and agentic applications (multi-step reasoning, tool use, patterns like ReAct or Plan-and-Execute); you know the modern LLM stack
• **Product instinct**
• , you think in terms of what to build and why, not just how; you're comfortable owning a use case end-to-end
• **Client-facing strategic ability**
• , you can lead a technical conversation with senior stakeholders, navigate ambiguity, and translate business needs into technical reality

Plus

• 3-6 years' experience with a strong software engineering foundation
• A bias to build, comfort with ambiguity, and a product-driven (not consulting-style) mindset
• **French and Arabic speakers are particularly well placed given the client and team environment**
• Background we love
• (not required, but a strong signal):
• Dual-track engineering + strategy backgrounds, applied-AI consulting with real technical depth, frontier-lab engineering, founder experience, or an engineering + business education.
• How the team works
• What matters is what you ship, not the hours you spend
• Low ego, high standards. The best idea wins, whoever it comes from
• Direct, timely feedback because people care about the work
• Minimal bureaucracy, you talk to whoever you need to talk to
• The package
• Competitive, tax-free salary
• Full relocation support to Abu Dhabi
• The chance to build agentic AI that goes live at serious scale, fast
