Opus is the world's first Knowledge Work AI platform
. Built by Applied
AI to pioneer Supervised Automation
, a human-in-the-loop model where AI handles repetitive, structured tasks while human experts provide crucial oversight at defined intervals.
The platform uses its proprietary Large Work Model to generate and orchestrate outcome-based workflows, enabling a dramatic reduction in the cost of knowledge work and allowing human talent to focus on high-value, creative, and judgement-intensive activities.
Role Overview :As a Senior AI Engineer, you’ll play a key role in the design, evolution, and delivery of Opus’s end-to-end AI infrastructure, spanning model serving, orchestration, prompt alignment, workflow intelligence, and agent systems.
Your mission is to ensure that every AI-powered feature across the platform operates with reliability, clarity, and measurable excellence in both performance and user experience.
You will guide a multidisciplinary UAE-based team of engineers working across model pipelines, workflow representations, and agentic frameworks. Together, you will refine the systems that connect foundational models, structured process data, and real-world user interactions.
Key Responsibilities:- Design and evolve high-performance AI serving and orchestration pipelines.
- Refactor existing systems for clarity, modularity, and maintainability.
- Improve runtime latency, reliability, and quality metrics across live AI features.
- Build observability and error-tracking layers to detect regressions before they reach users.
- Guide prompt and alignment strategies, ensuring consistent model behavior and semantic fidelity across all user-facing features.
- Collaborate with product teams to ensure AI responses meet quality, stability, and response-time targets.
- Uphold engineering standards across performance, documentation, and code quality.
- Lead design reviews, incident analysis, and optimization cycles across Opus AI modules.
