About the job
AI / ML Engineer
Dubai, UAE
$220k-$250k + Equity
We’re working with a frontier AI company that builds and deploys AI systems for the world’s most important institutions, automating billion-dollar processes, unlocking national productivity, and modernising the infrastructure of society itself. This is not research for research’s sake. This is applied AI, deployed in the real world.
They are backed by some of the world’s most respected founders and AI pioneers, and built a 40+ person team from tier-1 companies. Now, they’re expanding globally and looking for engineers who want to own the deployment of AI that changes how the world works.
The Role
As an AI/ML Engineer, you’ll turn state-of-the-art models into production-grade systems that power national-scale change. You’ll design, deploy, and optimise AI applications that automate some of the hardest real-world processes from energy and healthcare to government operations.
You’ll be embedded in small, elite teams that own problems end-to-end: architecture, data, model design, deployment, and iteration. No silos. No bureaucracy. Just impact.
What You’ll Do
- Build and deploy applied AI systems: from LLMs and agentic reasoning models to scalable data pipelines and production infrastructure.
- Solve world-scale problems: automate complex workflows, improve public outcomes, and optimise critical national systems.
- Collaborate with leaders and clients: work directly with government officials, enterprise executives, and industry veterans to translate ideas into deployed solutions.
- Operate like a founder: own delivery, make decisions fast, and help shape the next generation of applied AI tooling.
- Stay ahead of the curve: explore the latest GenAI, LLM, and reasoning research to push models from theory to practice.
You’ll Thrive Here If You…
- Have hands-on experience building GenAI or LLM-based applications (agents, RAG, reasoning models).
- Know your way around Python, PyTorch, JAX, or TensorFlow, with strong software engineering fundamentals.
- Can work across data pipelines, APIs, and production deployments with speed and precision.
- Enjoy autonomy, creative problem-solving, and owning solutions end-to-end.
- Want your work to matter to see it deployed across industries, governments, and communities.
Why Join
- Build at frontier scale: ship real systems used by governments, hospitals, and energy leaders worldwide.
- Elite peers: collaborate with engineers and researchers from tier-1 places.
- Move fast, own outcomes: you’ll ship code in weeks, not quarters.
- Meaningful rewards: competitive comp, equity, and ownership tied to real impact.
- Support to thrive: daily lunches, full benefits, 401(k), and unlimited PTO.
If you want to build AI that doesn’t just predict but powers economies, saves lives, and redefines what’s possible , this is where you do it.
Join the team building AI that actually ships.
