Staff Software Engineer – Applied AI

Senior / Staff Software Engineer – Applied AI

📍 Dubai, UAE

We’re partnering with a fast-growing, engineering-led AI company building bespoke, production-grade generative AI solutions for enterprise clients. This is a rare opportunity to work at the forefront of applied LLM systems in a high-impact, customer-facing environment, now expanding into Dubai.

The Role

You’ll lead the design and delivery of end-to-end AI applications, from discovery and prototyping through to production deployment inside client environments. This isn’t experimentation for the sake of it; everything you build will be used in the real world.

You’ll work across multiple industries and use cases, shipping LLM-powered systems at pace while maintaining strong engineering standards.

What They’re Looking For

• 7+ years’ experience building production-grade software
• Strong backend capability (Python preferred, but stack-agnostic mindset)
• Hands-on experience or strong interest in LLMs / GenAI (LangChain, vector DBs, model tooling, eval frameworks etc.)
• Comfortable owning projects end-to-end and interacting directly with technical stakeholders
• Startup mentality – high ownership, adaptable, and excited by ambiguity

What You’ll Be Doing

• Architecting and deploying custom AI solutions (automation, agents, evaluation frameworks, internal AI tooling)
• Working directly with senior stakeholders (including CTO-level) on requirements and trade-offs
• Leading technical direction across projects
• Shaping engineering standards and culture as the team scales

Why Join?

• Front-row seat to real-world enterprise AI deployment
• Exposure to a wide range of industries and use cases
• Senior, high-calibre engineering environment
• Opportunity to shape a new regional presence in Dubai

If you’re an experienced engineer who wants to move beyond experimentation and ship meaningful AI systems into production, this is worth a conversation.
