Full Job Posting
Position Overview
- We are looking for a Fractional AI Research Partner to join WyAsk. One to two days a week. Equity + small retainer. Remote friendly with a GCC focus.
- WyAsk is a B2B SaaS product built around one idea: knowledge should be distributable, contextualised, and measurable at the level of a human conversation.
- We are in live pilots in the UAE, bootstrapped, moving fast, and starting to get traction in a market that takes AI very seriously.
- The engineering execution is strong. What we need is a different kind of mind, someone who lives on the research frontier and can apply it to what we are building.
What this actually means day to day
- Joining a small AI research committee (Founder + engineering lead) to shape the AI roadmap
- Reviewing our architecture and model selection decisions with honest, informed eyes
- Benchmarking our retrieval architecture and knowledge grounding approach against what is actually state of the art
- Flagging what is coming before it becomes obvious
- Contributing specific components or architectural approaches where your work genuinely accelerates ours
Who we are looking for
- You have a research or senior applied AI background ex lab, ex frontier team, or deeply self directed.
- You think at the level of architecture and model behaviour, not just implementation.
- You stay genuinely current.
- You have strong opinions on knowledge retrieval and grounding, agent design, cost at scale, and what the next twelve months in AI actually look like.
- Arabic language AI or GCC market context is a real bonus but not a requirement.
- You are comfortable with early stage. You want a stake in something you believe in and the autonomy to bring your own perspective, not just validate someone else's.
What WyAsk offers
- Meaningful equity stake, vesting on contribution milestones
- Small monthly retainer
- A real product with real pilots, not a prototype
- A genuine research and architecture role your thinking shapes the direction, it does not just inform it
- A market the GCC where AI is moving faster than almost anywhere else right now
