Key Responsibilities & Core Engineering Scope
AI Agent Architecture & Development — LLM, RAG & Tool-Calling Systems
- Design and develop next-generation AI agent systems using Python, LLM frameworks, and leading AI platforms — building autonomous, multi-step reasoning agents that use tool-calling, function invocation, memory management, and orchestration patterns to execute complex enterprise workflows that would otherwise require human knowledge workers to perform manually, delivering measurable productivity improvements and operational intelligence to enterprise clients across the UAE
- Build production-grade RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) pipelines — designing and implementing the full RAG architecture from document ingestion, chunking, and embedding through vector store population, semantic search, context assembly, and LLM-augmented response generation that enables AI agents to answer enterprise questions with accurate, source-grounded, and contextually appropriate responses from the client’s proprietary knowledge base
- Integrate AI agents with enterprise APIs and data systems — designing the API interfaces, data connectors, authentication flows, and integration architectures that connect AI agent capabilities to the enterprise CRM, ERP, document management, email, calendar, and operational data systems that together constitute the client’s digital environment, enabling AI agents to act on and within the full scope of the enterprise’s information and process landscape
- Optimize AI agent performance including response quality, latency, cost, and reliability — applying systematic performance engineering to deployed AI agent systems to ensure they meet the quality, speed, and economic standards that enterprise clients require for production AI deployments, using prompt optimization, context window management, caching strategies, and model selection to balance all four dimensions effectively
GenAI Platform Expertise — OpenAI, Azure AI, Anthropic & Microsoft Copilot
- Apply deep expertise across OpenAI’s API ecosystem — using GPT-4o, o1, and future model versions for AI agent inference, function calling, structured output generation, and Assistants API-based agent implementation, staying current with OpenAI’s rapidly evolving platform capabilities and applying the most appropriate models and API patterns for each enterprise use case
- Deploy and manage AI solutions on Azure AI — using Azure OpenAI Service, Azure AI Foundry, Azure AI Search, and related Azure cloud services to build enterprise-grade AI agent deployments that meet the security, compliance, data residency, and scalability requirements that UAE enterprise and government clients specifically require from their AI infrastructure
- Apply Anthropic Claude’s capabilities to enterprise AI agent development — leveraging Claude’s specific strengths in instruction-following, extended context handling, and document analysis for the enterprise use cases where Claude’s capabilities offer distinct advantages over alternative LLM platforms, building multi-model AI agent architectures where appropriate
- Build Microsoft Copilot extensions and enterprise AI integrations — developing custom Copilot plugins, declarative agents, and Microsoft 365 AI integrations that extend the Copilot ecosystem’s capabilities for enterprise clients already operating within Microsoft’s productivity and cloud infrastructure, creating deeply integrated AI experiences within the tools that enterprise knowledge workers already use daily
Forward Deployed Engineering — Client Engagement & Enterprise Delivery
- Work directly with enterprise clients to understand their specific business challenges and operational contexts — conducting the deep discovery and requirements analysis that enables genuinely well-fitted AI agent solution design, going beyond generic AI capability promotion to understand the specific workflows, data environments, user profiles, and success metrics that determine whether an AI agent deployment creates real business value or becomes another abandoned technology proof-of-concept
- Own the end-to-end technical delivery of AI agent solutions in live enterprise environments — taking full engineering accountability from initial architecture design through development, testing, deployment, user onboarding, and post-deployment performance monitoring, ensuring that each AI agent solution delivered by DT Apex meets the performance, reliability, and business impact standards that justify the enterprise client’s investment
- Drive continuous improvement of deployed AI agent systems — monitoring production performance metrics, gathering user feedback, identifying capability gaps and quality issues, and implementing systematic improvements that progressively enhance the business value that deployed AI agent solutions deliver to enterprise clients over time
Innovation, Architecture & Emerging AI Technology
- Stay ahead of rapidly evolving AI agent technology — maintaining continuous awareness of emerging LLM capabilities, new agent frameworks (LangGraph, AutoGen, CrewAI, OpenAI Swarm, or equivalent), evolving RAG methodologies, and AI infrastructure advances that could enhance the quality, reliability, or commercial efficiency of DT Apex’s enterprise AI agent solutions
- Contribute to the development of reusable AI agent components, frameworks, and best practices — building the internal engineering knowledge base and tooling library that enables DT Apex to deliver enterprise AI agent solutions more efficiently, consistently, and reliably across different clients and use case types
Requirements & Ideal Background
Core Requirements
- 5–10+ years of overall technology experience — with a strong software engineering foundation that underpins the systems thinking, debugging capability, and production deployment discipline that enterprise AI agent development demands
- 3+ years of specific AI/ML/Generative AI engineering experience — with demonstrated production deployment of LLM-based applications, AI agent systems, or RAG pipelines in real enterprise environments
- Strong hands-on Python skills for AI agent development, API integration, and data pipeline construction — not just scripting familiarity, but production-grade Python engineering capability
- Practical experience with at least one of OpenAI, Azure AI, Anthropic, or Microsoft Copilot in a production enterprise AI application context — the specific platform experience that distinguishes genuine GenAI engineers from those with only theoretical or tutorial-level AI knowledge
- Available for an in-person, on-site role in the UAE — this is an on-site position requiring physical presence
