Head of Technology – Infinity AI (MENA)

Key Responsibilities

Hands-On Development & Launch

• Write production-grade code in Python and TypeScript, Infinity’s core stack.
• Build and integrate AI agents, automation pipelines, and AI-first workflows into Infinity AI business units.
• Stand up infrastructure, data pipelines, and AI-enabled product features for MVP launches.
• Lead and mentor a small founding engineering team (1–5 engineers) while setting coding and delivery standards.

Localization & Regionalization

• Customize Infinity’s platforms for the MENA market (Arabic/English systems, payments, compliance, hosting, and data residency).
• Ensure AI-enabled processes are culturally and legally aligned with regional requirements.
• Translate Infinity’s global playbooks into MENA-specific systems while ensuring interoperability with the global platform.

Scaling & Leadership

• Transition from player-coach to portfolio-level leader as Infinity AI companies scale.
• Partner with BU CEOs and founders to architect scalable AI-first systems and hire/mentor regional engineering leaders.
• Build shared technical services (DevOps, AI/ML infrastructure, analytics, IT, security) to accelerate scale across companies.

AI Strategy & Governance

• Be the senior-most AI/automation expert in MENA, advising Infinity leaders on where to deploy AI agents and automation for maximum leverage.
• Evaluate, prototype, and implement AI frameworks (ex. LangChain, n8n, RAG systems, multi-agent coordination, etc.) across businesses.
• Ensure AI systems meet data security, safety, and reliability standards, especially in regulated industries (finance, healthcare, logistics).

Advisory & Portfolio Support

• Serve as a trusted advisor to the Infinity AI CEO and board on technical risks, AI adoption, and portfolio-wide opportunities.
• Represent technology in board meetings, portfolio reviews, and investor discussions.

Qualification & Requirements

Experience

• 8–12+ years in software engineering and technical leadership, with a hands-on coding background.
• Strong experience in Python and TypeScript (Infinity’s core stack).
• Demonstrated expertise in AI automation, AI agents, and applied ML/LLM systems.
• Track record of launching or localizing products in multiple geographies (MENA experience preferred but not required).
• Prior experience in a portfolio/holding company, startup studio, or VC/PE-backed scaling environment is a plus.
• Skills & Capabilities
• Deep understanding of cloud infrastructure, DevOps, and scalable architecture.
• Practical knowledge of AI frameworks (e.g., LangChain, LlamaIndex, CrewAI, AutoGen, fine-tuning pipelines).
• Strong knowledge of MENA-specific technical considerations (localization, payments, regulatory environments).
• Ability to ship code today and build/scale teams tomorrow.

Mindset

• Builder-operator: thrives in hands-on coding mode, then scales to team-building and governance.
• Entrepreneurial, adaptable across multiple businesses and teams.
• Collegial, intellectually honest, and able to red-team assumptions to drive the highest standard of execution.

Benefits

• A once-in-a-decade opportunity to build the Infinity AI technology foundation from scratch.
• Immediate hands-on impact with clear growth trajectory from founding engineer/head of portfolio CTO.
• Exposure to multiple industries, founders, and CEOs, with portfolio-wide influence.
• Competitive compensation, including long-term equity incentives aligned with Infinity’s compounding value philosophy.
• A collegial, ambitious culture that balances innovation with discipline.
