The Role
The role combines AI engineering, product development, and government transformation.
The engineer will work directly with government entities to identify how AI can fundamentally change critical services and operations.
The role combines building AI agents and production systems with understanding domain processes and translating problems into working AI products.
The objective is to redesign workflows for an AI-first operating model rather than simply automate existing processes.
Build Agentic AI Systems
- Design, build, and deploy AI agents and multi-agent systems for complex real-world problems.
- Engineer agentic workflows combining LLMs, tools, APIs, enterprise data, and existing systems.
- Build systems incorporating RAG, tool and function calling, structured outputs, memory, reasoning, and orchestration.
- Develop evaluation frameworks, guardrails, and observability for reliable, production-ready AI systems.
- Move rapidly from prototype to production and continuously improve systems based on real-world usage.
Rewire Government Workflows
- Embed with government entities and domain experts to understand current services and operational processes.
- Map workflows, decision points, bottlenecks, hand-offs, and dependencies.
- Identify where AI enables a fundamentally different operating model rather than incremental automation.
- Re-engineer workflows around AI agents, human judgment, and automation.
- Turn manual and fragmented processes into intelligent, adaptive, and increasingly autonomous systems.
Product Engineering
- Translate ambiguous stakeholder problems into clear product and technical requirements.
- Work directly with users rather than relying solely on predefined specifications.
- Prototype quickly, gather user feedback, and iterate on products.
- Balance user experience, technical feasibility, security, and impact in product decisions.
- Own solutions from problem discovery through deployment, adoption, and measurable outcomes.
What We’re Looking For
- Strong software engineering fundamentals, ideally with significant Python and modern backend or application development experience.
- Hands-on experience building applications with LLMs and generative AI.
- Experience building AI agents, agentic workflows, RAG systems, or LLM-powered applications.
- Familiarity with LangGraph, LangChain, LlamaIndex, MCP, tool calling, and structured generation is preferred.
- Experience integrating AI systems with APIs, databases, and enterprise systems.
- Ability to build production-quality software rather than only notebooks, demos, or proofs of concept.
- Strong product intuition, communication skills, and confidence working with senior stakeholders and domain experts.
- Comfort operating in ambiguous environments where the problem may be clearer than the solution.
Workplace
- The role is based in Abu Dhabi.
- The position is on-site with no remote or hybrid arrangement.
Mission
The mission is to build systems where AI agents understand, reason, coordinate, and execute while humans provide oversight and judgment where it matters.
The role focuses on rewiring government services and operations for an AI-first world.
