Lead AI / ML Engineer [Riyadh or Dubai]

**This role requires relocation to Riyadh/Dubai**

You’ll shape the technical direction and bring ambitious AI concepts to life, turning prototypes into scalable, reliable products that power next-generation customer experiences. Working closely with engineers, tech leads, and the CTO, you’ll design systems that combine cutting-edge AI, strong infrastructure, and human-centred design.

Experienced Required:

AI Engineering

• Hands-on experience building complex, production-grade LLM-based systems across real-world use cases.
• Advanced prompt engineering skills, with a strong intuition for how models interpret, prioritise, and follow instructions in multi-step and long-context workflows.
• Experience designing agentic systems, including task decomposition, tool creation and orchestration, and reliability engineering for non-deterministic workflows.
• Actively engaged with the evolving AI ecosystem—tracking research, experimenting with new capabilities, and translating emerging ideas into practical solutions.
• Comfortable going beyond established patterns to design novel approaches when existing techniques are insufficient.

Software Engineering

• Strong grasp of software engineering fundamentals, including clean abstractions, separation of concerns, and writing maintainable, extensible code.
• Solid architectural judgment, with the ability to design systems that scale in complexity without sacrificing clarity or reliability.
• Fluency in Python, including its idioms, trade-offs, and edge cases.
• Comfortable owning systems end-to-end in production, including cloud infrastructure, observability, CI/CD, and operational lifecycle management.
