Tech Lead

Job Description

About Tavily

Were building the infrastructure layer for agentic web interaction at scale. Our API is designed from the ground up to power Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and real-time reasoning in AI systems. By connecting LLMs to high-quality, trustworthy web content, we help developers build agents that are not only intelligent — but also informed.

We work with some of the most innovative teams in AI — from small startups shaping the ecosystem to the largest enterprises deploying AI at scale. Whether it’s powering sales assistants, research copilots, or internal knowledge tools, we’re the missing link between LLMs and the real world.

The Role: Tech Lead (Abu Dhabi, On-Site)

We’re looking for a Tech Lead to join Tavily and establish our new office in Abu Dhabi. You’ll lead a growing team of around 12 technical professionals and play a central role in building the foundation for Tavily’s operations in the region.

This is a high-impact leadership role for someone with deep technical expertise and proven management experience who thrives in fast-paced, high-ownership environments.

What You’ll Do

• Lead and mentor a diverse technical team, ensuring excellence and collaboration
• Build processes and systems that enable the team to scale efficiently and deliver high-quality outcomes
• Stay hands-on with infrastructure and system architecture while guiding technical direction across the Abu Dhabi office
• Collaborate with leadership to align local priorities with Tavily’s global strategy
• Drive best practices in system reliability, scalability, and performance
• Help shape the culture and growth of Tavily’s new international office
  
  

What You Bring

• Proven expertise in backend and distributed systems (Python, APIs, AWS, Kubernetes/Argo), with a strong focus on building scalable and reliable infrastructure
• Hands-on experience designing and deploying AI agents or RAG workflows in production environments
• Deep understanding of retrieval strategies (dense, sparse, hybrid), context optimization, and methods to reduce hallucinations
• Familiarity with modern agent frameworks such as LangChain, LangGraph, LlamaIndex, or equivalent in-house systems
• Demonstrated ability to design, own, and evolve complex system architectures
• Track record of mentoring and leading multidisciplinary technical teams, setting direction and driving execution
• Experience building and operating real-time, low-latency, large-scale systems
• Strong background with databases such as Snowflake, MongoDB, and Redis
• Practical experience with cloud-native architectures on AWS, from design to deployment
• Comfortable thriving in fast-paced, high-ownership startup environments
  
  

Perks & Benefits

Full-time employees in our Abu Dhabi office are entitled to the following benefits:

• An open, inclusive, and collaborative work culture where every individual has impact from the outset
• The opportunity to contribute to a fast-growing team operating at the forefront of agentic AI
• A family-friendly relocation package to Abu Dhabi, including flights, housing, health insurance, and educational support for children
• Medical insurance coverage extended to employees and their families
• A work environment that values deep focus, intellectual curiosity, and continuous learning
