AI Product Engineer

**AI Product Engineer \- Abu Dhabi** **Discover the Opportunity:** We are partnering with a major government entity in Abu Dhabi that is building next\-generation AI products and platforms to support large\-scale digital transformation across the public sector. This role sits within a central AI function responsible for developing production\-grade AI applications, combining applied AI engineering, product thinking, and full\-stack software development. This is an excellent opportunity for a hands\-on engineer who can own AI\-powered products end\-to\-end, from RAG pipelines and agent workflows through to APIs and user\-facing interfaces. **Discover the Responsibilities:** * Design and build end\-to\-end AI\-powered product features, including assistants, copilots, knowledge tools, and automation workflows * Develop RAG pipelines covering document ingestion, vector search, embedding models, reranking, and retrieval quality evaluation * Build and integrate agent\-based AI workflows capable of multi\-step reasoning, tool use, and planning * Create user\-facing interfaces using React, including conversational UIs, streaming responses, real\-time feedback, and error handling * Design and build backend services and APIs in Python or Java to expose AI capabilities to products and platforms * Work with PostgreSQL to support AI product features, evaluation pipelines, and operational analytics * Define evaluation frameworks, quality metrics, and monitoring approaches to measure AI behaviour and detect regressions * Translate ambiguous product and operational requirements into well\-scoped engineering problems with measurable outcomes * Build reusable components, API patterns, and AI integration libraries that enable scalable adoption across multiple entities **Discover the Requirements:** * 5\+ years of software engineering experience, with a strong track record of building and shipping production systems * Proven ability to own product features end\-to\-end across AI backend, API layer, and user interface * Strong Python experience, ideally building LLM\-powered systems, AI pipelines, and backend services * Solid React experience, including component architecture, state management, performance optimisation, and responsive UI development * Experience building production\-grade backend APIs using Python or Java, with strong understanding of reliability, authentication, error handling, and scalability * Working proficiency with PostgreSQL, including schema design, query optimisation, and data modelling * Strong understanding of the practical challenges of deploying LLMs in production, including hallucination, latency, context degradation, and calibration * Experience with RAG systems, agentic AI workflows, LLM evaluation, or AI product monitoring is highly desirable * Exposure to tools and frameworks such as LangChain, LangGraph, vector databases, Docker, cloud platforms, and CI/CD pipelines would be advantageous * Strong product mindset, clear communication skills, and the ability to make evidence\-based technical decisions
