Job description

We’re Hiring: Senior AI Engineer | Onsite – Ajman, UAE

At Globant, we are working to make the world a better place, one step at a time. We enhance business development and enterprise solutions to prepare them for a digital future. With a diverse and talented team present in more than 30 countries, we are strategic partners to leading global companies in their business process transformation.

We are seeking a Senior AI Engineer who shares our passion for innovation and transformation. This role is critical in building advanced AI-driven solutions that enable our business partners to evolve and meet the growing demand for personalized, intelligent digital experiences.

1. AI & Agent System Engineering

• Orchestration: Implement intent classification flows, tool routing logic, multi-step reasoning chains, session memory management, and structured output parsing.

• Tool Gateway: Build and maintain the deterministic validation layer checking LLM actions against policy rules.

• RAG Pipelines: Optimize document ingestion, chunking/embedding workflows, vector retrieval, and context injection.

• Guardrails & Testing: Implement "Trust Dial" enforcement in code to determine autonomous vs. user-confirmed actions. Build automated agent evaluation tests to catch regressions and hallucination risks.

2. Cloud-Native Service Development

• Scalable Architecture: Build containerized, stateless, horizontally scalable workloads designed to degrade gracefully if upstream banking APIs fail.

• Observability: Implement distributed tracing across agent calls and API hops, structured logging for audits, and metric instrumentation for latency/error rates.

• LLM Integration: Manage token budgets, streaming response handling, model fallback logic, and API error handling.

• Event-Driven Systems: Build idempotent consumers/producers on the Kafka pipeline with sub-second latency targets.

Experience & Qualifications

Essential Criteria

• Software Engineering: 4+ years of professional experience shipping and operating production systems at scale.

• Languages: Strong proficiency in Python and/or TypeScript with an emphasis on clean, testable code.

• Distributed Systems: Solid grasp of concurrency, fault tolerance, and API design (REST/GraphQL) in regulated environments.

• Agentic AI Experience: Hands-on experience building/shipping LLM-based systems, RAG components, tool calling mechanisms, and AI safety features (hallucination detection, prompt injection defenses).

• Testing Rigor: Experience building automated evaluation pipelines to validate non-deterministic AI behavior.

• Cloud Native: Strong experience with containerized workloads, CI/CD pipelines, and cloud environments (AWS, Azure, or GCP).

Location: Ajman,UAE
