About This Role
Company Description
Pylot is the AI operations layer for GCC freight forwarders.
We read the WhatsApp and email forwarders already use — in Arabic and English — and automate the front of the workflow: drafting quotes, validating documents, structuring messy customer requests, and handling routine communication.
Forwarders don’t adopt a new system.
We work on top of how they already operate.
The Role
- Founding CTO.
- Third co-founder, working alongside the CEO and COO.
- Day one, you’ll:
- Own the existing MVP and the agent architecture
- Build out the agent layer: order entry, document validation, quoting with guardrailed negotiation, customer communication, exception handling
- Lead WhatsApp ingestion and bilingual NLP infrastructure
- Set up engineering foundations — infrastructure, security, observability, compliance
- Hire the first 1-2 engineers within 6 months as we close pre-seed
- What we need
- 5+ years building software, with meaningful experience shipping LLM-based applications, agent architectures, or NLP-heavy systems
- Strong Python and JavaScript/TypeScript
- Experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS preferred) and production deployments
- Comfortable with WhatsApp Business API and messaging infrastructure
- Bilingual technical instincts — Arabic and English code-switched inputs are core architecture, not a roadmap item
- Working knowledge of logistics or freight workflows — quoting, shipment lifecycle, car
- What we offer
- Founding-team equity + monthly retainer , 3-year vest, 1-year cliff
- Full-time, on-site in Dubai
- Real product, real design partner, real path to pre-seed close
