We fuse together exceptional talent who deliver outstanding software solutions. Our approach has helped us grow 60% in 2021, 94% in 2022, while in 2023 we joined forces with Insight, a Fortune 500 company and a leading solutions and systems integrator. With exciting growth plans and cutting-edge projects, there has never been a better time to join our incredible team. ##### ABOUT THE ROLE:
We are establishing a dedicated team of AI Engineers to serve as a long-term strategic AI partner to one of the most influential AI organizations in the Middle East, headquartered in the UAE. This team will work closely with a highly ambitious client operating at the forefront of AI adoption across the region, supporting a continuously evolving pipeline of AI-driven initiatives. As a Principal AI Engineer, you will work directly with customer leadership, technical teams, and internal stakeholders to deeply understand complex use cases and design, build, and deploy impactful AI solutions. This role blends hands-on engineering, AI system design, and customer-facing strategy—similar in scope to a hands-on AI startup CTO. Rather than supporting a single static product, you will work across multiple domains and initiatives as new opportunities emerge. The Middle East’s strong national investment in AI creates a unique environment where experimentation, ambition, and real-world impact are expected, not optional. ##### WHAT MAKES THIS ROLE UNIQUE:
Client-Facing & Communication Skills
Excellent communication skills, with the ability to explain complex AI concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. - Comfort operating in ambiguous, high-stakes environments while building trust-based client relationships. Education & Experience
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience. - 3+ years of experience in software engineering, applied machine learning, or AI-focused roles. - Prior experience working directly with customers on AI-driven applications is highly desirable. - Passion for staying at the forefront of generative and agentic AI advancements and applying them pragmatically. ##### WHY THIS ROLE:
This role is ideal for engineers who thrive at the intersection of deep technical work, customer engagement, and real-world impact. As a Forward Deployed AI Engineer, you will help shape how AI is adopted at scale in one of the most ambitious and fast-growing AI regions globally—while growing alongside a client whose challenges and opportunities will continuously evolve. ##### BENEFITS
