AI Architect

Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates

• Design the platform's AI features on Azure OpenAI in UAE regions: an AI CV builder that explains every suggestion it makes, and a guardrailed conversational assistant for young users, grounded in approved content.
• Set up and run the AI gateway: personal data redacted before model calls, every request logged with prompt, model, version and output, and system prompts kept under version control and shared with the client.
• Build safety for an audience that includes minors: topic boundaries, refusal behaviour , red-teaming, and an evaluation harness the client can rerun.
• Design the AI-assisted content pipeline that turns several hundred pages of source slides into structured, CMS-ready English and Arabic content, with a person verifying every unit.
• Define how the delivery team uses agentic coding and AI review tools: the AI usage policy, guardrails on prompts and source code, tagging of AI-assisted commits, and the quality gates they pass.
• Advise on governed citizen development (low-code and AI builders) for the client's own staff in later phases.

• 10+ years in software, including 3+ years building LLM products in production.
• Hands-on retrieval, prompt and tool design, evaluation, guardrails and cost control.
• Azure OpenAI and the wider Azure platform (networking, Key Vault, monitoring) in regulated environments.
• Working knowledge of data residency and privacy obligations, ideally the UAE PDPL and government AI policies.
• Daily fluency with agentic coding tools such as Claude Code or Git Hub Copilot, and a clear view of where they fail.
• The ability to explain AI risk and design trade-offs to senior, non-technical government stakeholders.

• Arabic language processing.
• Copilot Studio or Power Platform governance.
