🚀 Domain: Enterprise AI Acceleration & System Re-Engineering


The Opportunity


On behalf of a flagship technology initiative in Abu Dhabi, I am searching for elite, hands-on Principal Forward Deployed Engineers (FDEs) to embed directly into high-impact operational domains.


In this seat, you will re-engineer critical workflows from the inside out, deploying multi-agent AI systems, automated decision engines, and RAG architectures into live, enterprise-scale operations. There are no business analysts or PMs buffering you from the end user: you define the problem, write the production code, and personally own the measurable business outcomes.


What You Will Own


  • Field Discovery & Scoping: Embed directly with operational stakeholders to decode bottlenecks, define baselines, and frame business requirements before writing code.
  • Agentic Systems Engineering: Architect and deploy multi-agent workflows, tool execution loops, context memory systems, and RAG pipelines using Python/Go and cloud infrastructure.
  • Reusable Platform Primitives: Convert field deployment patterns into reusable platform components and developer playbooks that scale across the portfolio.
  • Value Measurement & Governance: Instrument production software to track cycle-time reduction and efficiency gains against baselines, navigating strict data residency, security, and multi-tenant isolation standards.


Who We Are Looking For


  • Field-Hardened Builders: Engineers who thrive in ambiguous, client-facing environments and communicate comfortably with operational leads and executives alike.
  • Product Engineers by Instinct: Practitioners who run user interviews, set scope, and ship production code to real users in weeks rather than quarters.
  • Production Agentic AI Depth: Practical experience building multi-agent systems, tool execution harnesses, and evaluation frameworks (e.g., LangGraph, AutoGen, AgentCore, or custom orchestrators).
  • Business & ROI Discipline: Focused on real-world adoption and unit economics, measuring success by verified operational payback.
  • Enterprise & Regulated Scale: Hands-on with cloud infrastructure (Azure/AWS), containers (Kubernetes/Docker), and security frameworks in high-assurance settings.


Why Consider This Role?


  • True Authority & Scale: Ship software that re-engineers live government domains and impacts millions of residents.
  • Elite Peer Group: Work in compact, high-velocity squads alongside senior peers from top product companies and frontier AI labs.
  • Full Relocation Support: Premium, comprehensive relocation assistance provided for you and your family to move to Abu Dhabi.
