OfficeAbu DhabiSE
Infinite pl is a digital-led tech firm driven to become a digital logistics pioneer by harnessing the power of people, data, and platforms. We are enabled through in-house, external, network, and other investment capabilities, which we use to orchestrate and build innovative platforms that tackle complex problems within logistics and adjacent sectors.

Infinite pl's mission is nothing short of a logistics revolution. We are here to enrich the experiences of governments, businesses, and residents around the world through cutting-edge digital solutions. We're not just players; we're game-changers.
### Role Summary
This is a Forward Deployed Engineering role. You will be embedded onsite with our client and business team, working shoulder to shoulder to turn ambiguous problems into working AI solutions at speed. You own the rapid innovation and “fast track” engine: running discovery directly with client stakeholders, designing and building pilots in the room, and creating “wow moments” that prove value quickly across platforms and channels.

You are hands-on and customer-facing in equal measure. You translate business needs into rapid prototypes yourself, and you direct a supporting pod of offshore AI engineers to accelerate delivery. You set the pace, keep a safe-to-experiment culture alive, and know when “good enough to learn” is the right call. When a pilot earns it, you hand it cleanly to the Production team to be hardened and scaled.
### Key Responsibilities
  • Embed onsite with the client and business team, building trusted relationships and running rapid discovery to surface the problems most worth solving.
  • Lead the end-to-end development of rapid innovation and fast-track solutions, from idea to working pilot, owning a shippable pilot or demo every sprint.
  • Build hands-on yourself, prototyping AI and agent-based solutions, while directing and coordinating an offshore pod of AI engineers to accelerate delivery.
  • Run live, executive-level demos for client stakeholders, gathering feedback in the room and iterating quickly.
  • Champion new modalities (for example video avatars, voice, vision), channels, and rapid data analyses to expand what is possible for the client.
  • Run the lightweight safe-to-experiment checklist, protecting the move-fast culture without ever breaching data sovereignty or client trust.
  • Nominate pilots for graduation and hand them cleanly to the Production team for hardening and scale.
### Key Requirements
  • Hands-on senior builder or technical lead with proven rapid prototyping experience.
  • Strong experience with LLMs and agent frameworks, able to design and ship AI solutions end to end.
  • Genuinely customer-facing: confident running discovery, scoping, and live demos directly with client and executive stakeholders.
  • Comfortable directing technical contributors, including remote or offshore engineers, and owning the quality of their output.
  • Product and innovation mindset, with the ability to work through ambiguity and turn vague needs into concrete solutions.
  • Comfortable with experimentation and knowing when “good enough to learn” is the right approach.
  • Willing and able to be based onsite at the client in the UAE.
### Preferred
  • Startup, venture-building, or professional-services / client-embedded background.
  • Experience with multimodal solutions (vision, voice, avatars).
  • Strong executive demo and presentation skills.
  • Experience delivering for UAE / GCC, government, or large enterprise clients.
  • Arabic language skills are a plus.
### Tech Stack
Container Apps, Semantic Kernel, LangGraph, Azure OpenAI plus public / low-tier models via gateway, React rapid front-ends, sandbox landing zone.
### How This Role Fits
Fast Track ships pilots, not production runs. You move fast to prove value and create momentum with the client; durability, scale, and long-term ownership are the Production Track's job. The two work hand in hand: you find and prove what works, Production makes it last.
