About Sharq

Sharq builds sovereign, specialist AI for enterprises and governments across the GCC and MENA. We post-train and serve models tailored to the region’s languages, regulations, and infrastructure, so banks, telecoms, insurers, and public-sector organisations can deploy AI they actually control, on their own terms and inside their own borders.

We’re an early-stage team, and you’ll be one of our first engineers. What you build will become the foundation of the company.

What you’ll do

- Build and scale the inference and serving infrastructure behind our models, including deployments in customer-controlled and on-premise environments
- Develop pipelines for data processing, fine-tuning, and evaluation of LLMs, with a focus on Arabic and regional use cases
- Ship production APIs, integrations, and internal tooling that enterprise clients rely on
- Work directly with customers in regulated industries to turn their requirements into working systems
- Help set our engineering culture, standards, and architecture from day one

What we’re looking for

- [3+] years of experience building production software (Python required; Go, Rust, or TypeScript a plus)
- Hands-on experience with ML or LLM systems: serving (vLLM, TensorRT-LLM, Triton, or similar), fine-tuning, or evaluation




- Comfort with cloud and container infrastructure (Kubernetes, Docker, AWS/Azure/GCP), and ideally on-prem or air-gapped deployments
- A track record of working independently and communicating clearly in a remote team
- An ownership mindset: you’re happy to work across the stack in an ambiguous, fast-moving environment
- Ability to work with significant overlap with Gulf Standard Time (GMT+4)

Nice to have

- Arabic language skills, or experience building Arabic NLP systems
- Background in banking, telecom, insurance, or government technology
- Familiarity with data-sovereignty and regulatory frameworks in the UAE and GCC
- Willingness to travel occasionally to Dubai or client sites in the region

What we offer

- Market-competitive salary plus meaningful founding-team equity
- Fully remote, with flexible hours within core overlap time
- Real ownership: you’ll shape the product, the stack, and the team
- The chance to build AI infrastructure for one of the world’s most ambitious technology regions
- [Equipment allowance, health insurance, other benefits]
