Principal Forward Deployed Engineer

📍 Location: Abu Dhabi, UAE (Full Relocation & Family Support Provided)

🚀 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., Lang Graph, Auto Gen, Agent Core, 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.
