Senior Ai Backend Engineer

Dubai, United Arab Emirates

Job Description

Why You'll Love This Role: * Impact at Scale: Build the AI-powered backend that ingests, analyses, and surfaces market signals in near real time-directly shaping investment strategies. * Innovation Playground: Combine LangGraph, Modal, OpenAI APIs, Pinecone, and advanced ingestion pipelines with next-generation AI orchestration. * Global Exposure & Growth: Collaborate with engineering, product, and investment teams and expect steep learning curves, challenging projects, and the opportunity to push the boundaries of AI in finance.
The Role:

  • Backend Architecture & Build: Design and implement scalable backend services for AI-native workflows in cloud and hybrid environments.
  • Agent Framework Leadership: Build and scale LangGraph-based, multi-step LLM agent orchestration for insight generation and decision-making.
  • Data Intelligence Pipelines: Develop secure ingestion and transformation flows for structured/unstructured financial data (filings, transcripts, PDFs) with automated parsing, summarization, and tagging.
  • Model Integration & Optimisation: Benchmark, integrate, fine-tune, and optimise LLMs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Claude) for performance, cost, and compliance, including model weight quantization for efficient deployment.
  • Vector Retrieval Systems: Architect and manage vector databases, embeddings, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) stacks.
  • Cross-Platform Orchestration: Build automation pipelines integrating SaaS platforms, subscription feeds, and line-of-business systems.
  • System Modernisation: Refactor and evolve legacy components into low-maintenance, AI-embedded architectures aligned with an AI-first vision.
  • Automation & CI/CD: Maintain CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Azure Pipelines) with strong testing and monitoring practices.
  • Performance Monitoring & Observability: Implement and maintain monitoring, logging, and automated performance tracking for models, pipelines, and infrastructure to ensure reliability and efficiency at scale.
  • Multi-Modal Data Handling: Develop capabilities to process and integrate multi-modal inputs (text, tables, charts, and audio transcripts) into AI workflows to enrich analysis and decision-making.
Required
  • Minimum 7 years in backend engineering (Python required), including 4+ years in AI/ML with proven delivery in AI powered systems from production to deployment
  • Experience in fintech or investment management strongly preferred but not a deal-breaker.
  • Technical Depth:
  • AI orchestration frameworks (LangChain, LangGraph).
  • Vector databases (Pinecone, Weaviate, Milvus).
  • Cloud environments: AWS, Azure, GCP, and emerging platforms (Modal).
  • LLM fine-tuning and model weight quantization for optimisation and deployment at scale.
  • Skilled in designing secure, modular, and low-maintenance backend systems.
Nice to have:
  • Financial data or KPI modelling experience.
  • Azure Data Fabric or similar data lake experience.
  • Multi-agent orchestration or autonomous system design.
