Head of Engineering
Own the engineering execution and architecture of the Qadar AI Shield suite from browser extension to control plane.
Remote or Dubai DIFCFull-timeLead roleExperienced ProfessionalsEngineering
Qadar AI — because AI adoption moved faster than AI governance, and the platform that closes the gap needs a technical owner.
You don't want to inherit a tech stack — you want to set its direction. As Head of Engineering you own the engineering execution and architecture of the entire Qadar AI Shield suite, from the browser extension to the control plane.
Qadar AI is in the company-building stage. The architecture decisions, hiring choices, and engineering standards you make now will carry the company from first lighthouse pilots through Series A readiness. You partner directly with the founder office — no layers, no committees.
What you'll own
- You define and own the end-to-end architecture across Shield Web, Shield Desktop, Shield Mobile, and Shield Control.
- You build and lead the engineering team — from the first hires through Series A readiness.
- You set the technical standard for reliability, security posture, and deployment speed that makes Qadar AI credible in enterprise security reviews.
- You partner with the founder office on product roadmap tradeoffs and build-vs-buy decisions — the founder office owns the vision, you make it real.
- You keep the suite shippable: enterprise depth where it wins deals, minutes-not-months deployment where it wins customers.
What you bring
- You have built and shipped security or infrastructure products — software that runs in production for paying customers.
- You can recruit strong engineers early and create an environment they want to stay in.
- You operate comfortably at both architecture and implementation level in a company-building stage.
- You communicate technical tradeoffs clearly to founders, customers, and investors alike.
- You take quality seriously — in code, in security posture, and in how decisions get documented.
What we offer
Work where you create leverage
Every role is remote-first with optional onsite collaboration in Dubai DIFC — plus focused in-person team weeks for planning, customer work, and product decisions.
Direct founder access
You work with the founder office on strategy, tradeoffs, and speed. There are no layers between your work and the decisions that shape the company.
Real ownership
Lead roles here are not coordination jobs. You own outcomes, shape the roadmap, and influence how the company is built.
Top-tier equipment and AI tools budget
We fund the setup you need for serious work and expect the team to use the best tools available — understanding the category from the inside is part of the job.
Flexible travel support
We make room for customer visits, pilot support, and team sessions whenever they create real momentum.
A global operating posture
Qadar AI is built for teams working across markets, regulators, and time zones — with Dubai DIFC bridging Europe, Africa, and Asia-Pacific.
This is the rare Head of Engineering role where platform, team, and standards are genuinely yours to build — and where the category itself is still being shaped. If you want to build the AI safety layer companies will actually need, this is the stage to join.
