We are hiring for our client, a leading technology venture based in Saudi Arabia.

About the role:

This Sr. Principal will own the enterprise data and AI architecture end to end - designing the data platforms, MLOps and LLM/agentic infrastructure the organization's AI ambitions will be built on for years to come.

This is a principal-level technical authority role:

• Setting direction and standards across engineering teams, not managing them directly.

What we are looking for:

• 12+ years of progressive experience across data engineering, AI/ML systems and enterprise architecture, with a demonstrated track record of architecting and shipping large-scale, production-grade data and AI platforms.

• Deep expertise across cloud data platforms (AWS/Azure/GCP), distributed data processing (Spark, Kafka, Airflow or equivalent), vector databases, and LLM orchestration frameworks.

• Strong data governance, security and scalability judgment, and the ability to translate business strategy into technical architecture.

Please feel free to share this opportunity with anyone who may be the right fit. Only shortlisted candidates will be contacted.
