Senior Engineering Director
Skills
About This Role
Overview
- One of the UAE’s fastest-growing AI businesses is scaling aggressively and looking to appoint a Senior Engineering Director to lead the next phase of growth across enterprise AI and large-scale platform engineering.
- This is a high-impact leadership role focused on building and scaling mission-critical AI/data platforms used across enterprise, government, and complex large-scale environments.
- You’ll work directly with executive engineering leadership while driving:
- Engineering strategy & platform evolution
- Architecture & distributed systems design
- Cloud-native platform engineering
- Large-scale backend & data-intensive systems
- Technical delivery across multiple engineering squads
- Mentoring and scaling high-performing engineering teams
- The environment is heavily engineering-led, fast-moving, and deeply technical — ideal for someone who enjoys solving complex scalability, architecture, and platform challenges while still remaining close to technology and engineering decision-making.
Minimum Requirements / MUST HAVE
- Must specifically come from AI/ML and/or Data Platform / Cloud Data Platform Companies
- (Will only consider candidates coming from Data Platfrom companies - minimum requirement)
- Must come form Software development / Software engineering background/ past experience
- Distributed/cloud-native systems
- Tech environment includes:
- Python \| Distributed Systems \| Cloud Platforms (AWS/Azure/GCP) \| APIs \| SQL/NoSQL \| DevOps \| CI/CD \| AI-enabled Platforms \| Enterprise Architecture
- Why this opportunity stands out:
- Significant ownership & influence at engineering leadership level
- Opportunity to shape architecture, engineering culture, and scalability strategy
- Highly attractive long-term relocation package for families
- Premium healthcare & life insurance
- Business-class relocation support
- Schooling allowance for children (rare benefit even at senior leadership level)
- Annual family flights
- Up to 6 weeks remote flexibility yearly
- Tax-free package + strong bonus structure
- This is very much a “build, scale, and shape” environment rather than a traditional corporate engineering role.
- If you come from a strong platform/product engineering background and enjoy operating at the intersection of architecture, engineering leadership, scalability, and delivery — I’d be happy to speak further.
