AI & Workflow Automation Architect (AED 50,000–70,000/month total compensation) – Family Office (DMCC, Dubai)

Type: Full-time

Location: Dubai (DMCC)

Start: As soon as possible

⸻

Who we are

We are a DMCC-licensed Single Family Office in Dubai. We build our trading strategies in-house, supported by an AI engine trained on 10+ years of tick-level market data. The AI & Workflow Automation Architect will work directly with the two owners/directors, owning automation for the admin team (workflows, integrations, and internal AI tools) while also supporting core business initiatives in our trading operation—delivering IT/engineering work as delegated by the CEO (including upgrades to our C# trading systems and related automation).

Role summary (read carefully)

This is a hands-on execution role. You will personally design, build, and ship automation workflows and AI systems end-to-end. This is not a people-management role and not a role for someone who mainly coordinates or manages other programmers. We expect production-grade delivery, reliability, and measurable cycle-time reduction across operations.

What you will own (hands-on delivery)

Private office automation (admin + household operations)

• Build and maintain integrations through APIs/webhooks (email, task systems, Google Drive/Sheets, files, finance exports) and ship workflows that run reliably.
• Automate recurring workflows end-to-end (e.g., statements, expense tracking, reconciliation, reporting packs, approvals).
• Implement automated follow-ups and escalations so routine chasing is handled by the system and only exceptions/critical items reach owners.
• Build an internal AI support layer backed by an approved knowledge base (policies, rules, templates) to answer employee questions consistently and reduce escalation.
• Implement production controls: approvals for financial/legal/external actions, audit logs, access permissions, monitoring, and error handling.

Core business support (trading operation)

• Support the CEO and Chief Trading Officer with upgrades and improvements to the company’s internal C# trading system and related tooling.
• Implement delegated engineering tasks that improve speed, reliability, observability, automation, and operational efficiency within the trading ecosystem.

⸻

Requirements

• Proven track record shipping automation used in real operations (not demos).
• Strong API/integration skills and ability to deliver workflows end-to-end with reliability, monitoring, and maintainability.
• Highly experienced with AI APIs and modern AI tooling in production—able to embed AI into workflows safely, with deterministic logic where needed.
• Experience building controlled assistants that provide source-based answers (no guessing), with clear escalation paths.

Must-have technical depth

• Production LLM systems: RAG, tool-calling, structured outputs, prompt/version control.
• Evaluation & QA: test sets, regression testing, hallucination controls, confidence thresholds.
• Security: OAuth/service accounts, secrets management, least-privilege design, logging/retention.
• Data layer: Postgres (or equivalent), basic ETL, schema design for expenses/tasks/statements.
• C# competence sufficient to contribute meaningfully to an existing trading system codebase (.NET).

⸻

Stack (current and expected)

• Workflow automation/orchestration: n8n / Make / Workato / Microsoft Power Automate
• Scripting: Python / JavaScript
• Data: Postgres (or equivalent)
• Trading system: C#/.NET
• AI: production use of leading LLM APIs, embeddings/vector search, and tool-based agent workflows
