Senior Technical Engineer (Data Science / Machine Learning)

Location: Dubai, UAE (Client Site)

Salary: AED 14,000 – AED 17,000 / month

Benefits: Work visa, air tickets, medical insurance, gratuity, paid time off

Experience: 5–8 years of relevant experience

We're hiring a Senior Technical Engineer (Data Science / Machine Learning) to build and test AI and machine-learning proofs of concept scoped to real business requirements. The role rapidly prototypes models and agentic AI workflows, runs experiments to validate business hypotheses, and turns results into clear go/no-go recommendations. Work spans generative AI, agentic AI, and applied machine learning, with a focus on experimentation and fast iteration in a sandbox environment rather than production delivery.

Key Responsibilities

•

Build and test AI and machine-learning proofs of concept scoped to real business requirements and hypotheses.

•

Rapidly prototype models and agentic AI workflows, iterating quickly in a sandbox environment.

•

Design and run experiments to validate business hypotheses and measure feasibility, accuracy, and performance.

•

Apply generative AI and LLMs, including prompt engineering and retrieval patterns, to candidate use cases.

•

Perform data wrangling and feature engineering across structured and unstructured data sources.

•

Evaluate models and workflows against clear metrics, documenting findings, limitations, and trade-offs.

•

Turn POC results into clear go/no-go recommendations and hand-off notes for stakeholders.

Required Technical Skills

•

Strong Python for data science, with hands-on machine learning and deep learning.

•

Practical experience with generative AI and LLMs, agentic AI frameworks, and prompt engineering.

•

Data wrangling and feature engineering, plus solid SQL across relational data.

•

Model evaluation and experimentation, grounded in applied statistics.

•

Basic MLOps for experiment tracking, versioning, and reproducibility.

Candidate Profile

•

5–8 years in data science / machine-learning roles, with a track record of taking ideas to working POCs.

•

Comfortable with ambiguity and fast iteration; biased toward experiments that produce clear answers.

•

Strong communicator — able to explain methods, results, and go/no-go calls to non-technical stakeholders.
