I am a tech lead at Open Innovation AI in Abu Dhabi, building an AI platform on GPU clusters. I am not actively looking, but I am open to the right Lead, Staff or Engineering Manager role in the AI/ML infrastructure space.
Where I fit
- Backend and platform engineering for AI/ML: MLOps, model deployment, inference.
- GPU orchestration and scheduling on Kubernetes, multi-cluster operations.
- Distributed systems that have to hold up under real load.
- Leading engineers. I have built and led teams from 5 to 100+, and I still write code.
- Scoping work across backend, frontend, infra and QA, and shipping it as a team.
What I look for
- A real technical problem in AI infrastructure, not a feature factory.
- Ownership of a system or a team, with a say in where it goes.
- Remote or hybrid, UTC+4. Relocation is possible for the right role.
Looking for a technical co-founder?
If you are starting something and need a technical co-founder, I am open to that conversation too. I like building products from zero and I have done it a few times.
Questions I get asked
Do you do take-home tests? Yes, but I prefer paid ones. My GitHub and projects show how I work; if that is not enough, hire me for a few hours on a real task in your codebase.
Where are you? Abu Dhabi, UTC+4. I travel often between UTC+1 and UTC+6.
Remote? Remote or hybrid works best. On-site or relocation depends on the role.
Favourite stack? The one that fits the problem. Python and Go for most backend and platform work. Rust where speed and a small footprint matter, like CLI tools and anything on the data path. Node when that is what the team knows. Erlang when it is about messaging.
Alone or in a team? A team. I like small teams that ship and review their own work.
