My client is a fast-growing AI company building real-time AI Voice, Agentic AI and Computer Vision products, and they’re looking for a hands-on Engineering Lead to help scale the engineering team from ~7 to 20 people.

What they’re looking for:

  • 8+ years of software engineering experience
  • 2+ years leading engineers with genuine hiring & people-management responsibility
  • Strong Python/backend engineering experience
  • Strong knowledge of Kubernetes, Docker, CI/CD, GitOps & observability
  • Experience building and operating high-scale, real-time or distributed systems
  • Production experience with AI/ML/LLM systems, model serving or GPU infrastructure
  • Comfortable with architecture, code reviews, debugging production incidents and still writing code
  • Proven experience hiring, developing and managing engineering teams
  • Dubai-based / willing to work office-based

Experience with WebRTC/SIP, voice AI, computer vision, sovereign/on-prem deployments or regulated environments would be a strong plus.

This is not a traditional management role – the ideal person
