Senior Forward Deployed Engineer - Enterprise AI

We're supporting one of the fastest-growing global start-ups as they solve complex AI challenges for enterprise customers. With $120m+ raised within the first 18 months, we are looking to help them build an exceptional founding team here in Dubai.

In this forward-deployed role, you'll partner directly with large organisations to implement AI solutions across voice, chat, email, and back-office workflows, tackling the toughest technical challenges and driving measurable impact.

This isn't a role for everyone - it's for those that want to be embedded with clients when needed, helping them bridge gaps between existing infrastructure and cutting-edge AI capabilities.

Experience as a FDE or similar is a must for this role.

You'll not only receive a great salary, but you'll get real equity too. Our partner want to invest in people and give them a slice of the pie.

What You'll Own:

Enterprise Integrations: Build and maintain custom services, pipelines, and connectors that link AI platforms with complex, often legacy, enterprise systems
AI Workflows & Automation: Design advanced multi-channel AI interactions, including voice, chat, and email, tailoring solutions to meet unique client requirements
Client-Facing Leadership: Lead technical discussions, architecture sessions, and workshops with engineering teams and senior stakeholders, translating AI potential into actionable solutions
Operational Excellence: Ensure deployed systems are reliable, scalable, and maintainable; contribute to incident management and define operational standards for your deployments
Innovation Feedback Loop: Capture insights from client deployments, influence product strategy, and contribute reusable patterns and frameworks back to the AI platform

What You Bring:

5+ years building and running production backend systems, ideally in enterprise or AI-focused environments.
Strong in TypeScript, Python, or Go; confident designing distributed systems and making architectural trade-offs
Experience connecting multiple systems via APIs, messaging frameworks, and secure authentication; comfortable working with both modern and legacy stacks
Exceptional communication skills with the ability to influence technical and business leaders
Capable to operate independently in complex environments, developing creative solutions with minimal guidance
Hands-on experience deploying AI solutions across multiple communication channels-voice, chat, email, and back-office systems
Strong experience designing and implementing custom integrations that connect AI platforms to complex enterprise environments
