About noon

We're building an ecosystem of digital products and services that power everyday life across the Middle Eastfast, scalable, and deeply customer-centric. Our mission is to deliver to every door every day. We want to redefine what technology can do in this region, and we're looking for an AI Accelerator- Lead Builder who can help us move even faster.

noon's mission: Every door, every day.

Not just an engineer

This role sits at the intersection of applied research, product invention, and AI-powered software craftsmanship.

We're building an AI Office inside noon - a highly leveraged group that lives above squads and product lines, spotting opportunities others miss and solving them with working software.

You won't be assigned tickets. You'll define, build, and ship.

Your vantage point

Full visibility across noon's organization

Briefed directly by the CEO and leadership team

Not embedded in a traditional hierarchy

Direction & accountability driven by impact, not process

This is a Staff-level product builder + internal founder + applied AI researcher role a rare blend of curiosity, speed, and execution.

What you build (three pillars)

1. Group leverage & acceleration

You build tools, workflows, and systems that meaningfully compress time, reduce friction, and increase velocity across teams.

This is about leverage over load - software that amplifies thousands of human hours into hundreds.

2. Rapid capability injection into missions

You identify high-value features or enhancements teams can't prioritize - and you ship them within days.

Not slow quarters. Not remote roadmaps. But fast, targeted additions that unlock disproportionate value.

3. Prototypes for things that don't yet exist

You will build working prototypes for future businesses, products, and ideas before they have names or teams. No slides. No long discovery cycles. Just shipping real software to uncover real signals. You act as a product accelerator, quarterbacking ideas end-to-end.

How we work

Bias toward rapid iteration

Nothing should take more than one week to production

Early momentum beats polish

Working software is the primary deliverable

Build ship learn repeat

At noon, speed, clarity, and momentum matter more than perfection in early stages.

Tech stack - where you'll operate

We build on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) with a Python-first philosophy.

Core technologies you'll use

Python (backend, data, AI tooling)

GCP services: Cloud Functions, BigQuery, Cloud Run, Pub/Sub, Vertex AI

Modern frontend frameworks (React / Next.js) as needed

CI/CD pipelines (Cloud Build / GitHub Actions)

AI stacks (OpenAI, Vertex AI models) integrated deeply

Success here means mastering full-stack product outcomes with a Python + GCP core.

Who this role is for

You might call yourself a builder, a creator, a hacker, or even a researcher - but titles aren't what matter. This role is for someone who:

Thinks in systems, leverage, and emergent patterns

Sees opportunities others miss

Has shipped side projects that taught them something real

Loves fast, iterative software cycles

Is comfortable with ambiguity and shaping problems, not just solving them

Can own outcomes, not tasks

Ship something that speaks

One way we evaluate fit for this role is through your side projects or personal builds. We want to see things you've shipped that reflect curiosity, speed, impact, playfulness, and technical depth. Share your side gigs. Show us what you built. Let your code do the talking.

Your toolkit

Engineering

Python backend & APIs

Turn intent into production in days

Founding influence on how noon builds software

What success looks like

Tools that materially accelerate execution across teams
