Job description

Role Summary

We are looking for a Technical Head to lead our engineering team, drive AI initiatives, manage deployments and servers, and take ownership of our technology stack. You should have hands‑on experience with MongoDB, Node.js, and React , but be technology‑independent – able to choose the right tools for each problem rather than being locked into a single stack.

Key Responsibilities

Leadership & AI

Lead and mentor a team of developers, AI/ML engineers, and DevOps professionals.

Oversee the end‑to‑end development and deployment of AI models (LLMs, predictive models, etc.) into production.

Set technical strategy, architecture standards, and best practices (code quality, testing, documentation).

Deployments & Server Management

Own CI/CD pipelines, containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), and infrastructure as code.

Manage cloud servers (AWS/GCP/Azure): provisioning, monitoring, scaling, security, and cost optimization.

Ensure high availability, incident response, and disaster recovery.

Leverage your MongoDB expertise to guide schema design, indexing, aggregation pipelines, and replication.

Use your Node.js experience to architect scalable backend services and APIs.

Apply React knowledge to oversee frontend architecture and integration.

Stay technology‑independent : evaluate and adopt new languages/frameworks/databases when appropriate.

Travel

Travel to Dubai as required for strategic meetings, client engagements, or team alignment.

Required Experience

5+ years of software engineering , with 2+ years leading a technical team .

Proven experience with AI/ML – from experimentation to production deployment.

Strong DevOps skills – Linux servers, Kubernetes, CI/CD, cloud infrastructure.

MongoDB – production experience (sharding, performance tuning).

React – frontend architecture, state management, component design.

Ability to think technology‑independent – you don’t force a stack; you pick the best solution for the problem.

Nice to Have

Experience with other databases (PostgreSQL, Redis, vector DBs).

Python (for AI/ML integration).

Knowledge of additional frontend frameworks (Vue, Angular) or backend languages (Go, Java).

What We Offer

Competitive salary + travel coverage for Dubai.

Leadership autonomy – shape the tech stack, team culture, and architecture.

Opportunity to work on AI‑driven products with real‑world impact.
