About Scale Ai
- Scale's rapidly growing Global Public Sector team is focused on using AI to address critical challenges facing governments around the world.
- Our core work consists of:
- Creating custom AI applications that will impact millions of citizens
- Generating high-quality training data for national LLMs
- Upskilling and advisory services to spread the impact of AI
- As these applications move from prototype to production, we're investing heavily in the infrastructure and people that keep them reliable, secure, and trusted by our government partners.
- At Scale, we're not just building AI solutions - we're enabling the public sector to transform their operations and better serve citizens through cutting-edge technology.
- If you're ready to shape the future of AI in the public sector and be a founding member of our team, we'd love to hear from you.
Role Overview
We are looking for a technically strong and client-oriented Engineering Manager to lead the development of AI applications directly for UAE government agencies, based in the UAE.
The UAE is one of the most ambitious AI-first governments in the world, with sweeping national initiatives around smart government, digital transformation, and sovereign AI and this role puts you at the center of that mission.
This role requires someone who is equally at home in a government stakeholder meeting as they are in a technical design review.
You will own engineering delivery, embed deeply with UAE government clients, and help build Scale's presence as the leading AI partner for public sector transformation in the region.
What You'Ll Do
- Lead and manage a team of engineers building AI-powered applications for UAE federal and local government clients, ensuring high-quality delivery and strong client outcomes
- Act as the primary technical point of contact for UAE government stakeholders building trusted relationships, leading discovery workshops, and presenting solutions at the executive level
- Design, build, and optimize full stack AI applications end-to-end, spanning data pipelines, ML model integration, APIs, and frontend delivery
- Develop and deploy AI/ML solutions including LLM-powered applications, AI agents, and intelligent automation tailored to UAE government use cases
- Architect and maintain robust API integrations between Scale's platform and UAE government systems and third-party services
- Partner with product, go to market, and government counterparts to translate requirements into scalable engineering solutions and drive delivery from concept to production
- Represent Scale AI in client-facing settings including workshops, technical demos, and executive briefings with UAE ministry and agency stakeholders
- Manage delivery across multiple concurrent workstreams, balancing velocity and quality in a dynamic, fast-paced environment
- Mentor and grow engineers on the team, building a culture of technical excellence, ownership, and client focus
- Contribute to shaping team culture, engineering processes, and best practices as a key leader within the Global Public Sector organization
