Location:** Dubai

What Makes This Role Different

• **Architectural Authority**
• You have the mandate to challenge and replace legacy systems.
• If it slows the business down, you can redesign it.
• **AI Ownership**
• You will define how AI reshapes engineering, operations, and decision making across the organisation.
• **Elite Global Teams**
• You will lead a small, exceptional group of senior engineers and architects where outcomes matter more than hierarchy.

The Challenges You Will Own

• **AI Native Migration**
• Transition systems from traditional CI CD and rule based logic into AI native operations with self healing infrastructure and automated code generation.
• **Real Time Non Deterministic Systems**
• Build and oversee AI systems operating in real time, handling complex, high stakes decisions where latency matters.
• **The Fast AI Problem**
• Integrate heavyweight models without sacrificing performance.
• AI must enhance speed, not compromise it.
• **End to End Technical Ownership**
• From low level backend performance and memory efficiency through to high performance, fluid user interfaces.
• **Radical Process Re Engineering**
• Identify human bottlenecks and replace them with AI driven optimisation wherever possible.
• **Technical Leadership at the Highest Level**
• Set direction, mentor elite engineers, and provide clarity in highly complex problem spaces.

What We Are Looking For **Core Engineering

• Deep hands on experience with C++, Rust, Go, or Python in high performance environments.
• AI and ML
• Practical experience with LLM fine tuning, RAG pipelines, vector databases such as Milvus or Pinecone, and production grade MLOps.
• Systems and Infrastructure
• Strong background in distributed systems, Kubernetes, and low latency data streaming.
• Comfortable operating close to the metal when needed.

Leadership Profile

• Builder first, executive second
• Comfortable making hard technical calls
• Intolerant of “good enough”
• Proven at scaling systems, not just teams
• Why This Role You will be joining a profitable, fast moving, engineering led organisation operating at the edge of what is technically possible.
• Engineering is not a support function here.
• It is the product.
• This role is for someone who is restless with the status quo and has the technical scars to prove they can build what others say cannot be done.
• Apply now to be considered!
