About the role
About Scale AI
Scale's rapidly growing Global Public Sector team is focused on using AI to address critical challenges facing governments around the world. Our core work consists of:
- Creating custom AI applications that will impact millions of citizens
- Generating high-quality training data for national LLMs
- Upskilling and advisory services to spread the impact of AI
As these applications move from prototype to production, we're investing heavily in the infrastructure and people that keep them reliable, secure, and trusted by our government partners.
At Scale, we're not just building AI solutions - we're enabling the public sector to transform their operations and better serve citizens through cutting-edge technology. If you're ready to shape the future of AI in the public sector and be a founding member of our team, we'd love to hear from you.
Role Overview
We are looking for a technically strong and customer-oriented Engineering Manager to lead the development of AI applications for Kuwait government clients. This role sits at the intersection of engineering leadership, AI/ML delivery, and direct client engagement—requiring someone who is equally comfortable presenting to a government stakeholder as they are reviewing a system architecture or shipping code.
As a founding member of our regional team, you will help define how Scale AI shows up for some of the most ambitious public sector AI initiatives in the Gulf. If you thrive in fast-paced, high-impact environments and want to shape the future of AI in government, we would love to hear from you.
What You'll Do
- Lead and manage a team of engineers delivering AI-powered applications for Kuwait government clients, ensuring high-quality output and on-time delivery
- Serve as the primary technical point of contact for Kuwait government stakeholders—translating complex engineering concepts into clear, accessible language for non-technical audiences
- Design, build, and optimize full stack AI applications end-to-end, from data pipelines and ML model integration through to APIs and frontend delivery
- Develop and deploy AI/ML solutions including LLM-powered features, AI agents, and intelligent automation tailored to government use cases
- Build and maintain robust API integrations connecting Scale's platform with government systems and third-party services
- Partner with product, go to market, and government counterparts to define requirements, scope solutions, and drive delivery from conceptualization through production
