About us
AI Sales LLC (Idea N Technology) builds LeadsPipe, an AI sales co-pilot for enterprise and engineering/EPC firms. The platform finds high-intent tenders and prospects, identifies the real decision-makers, surfaces the business problems inside target companies, forecasts tenders before they are announced, and helps prepare proposal sections. We are an early-stage, founder-led company serving clients in the USA, the GCC and worldwide, and we are building our first core team.

The role
You will be our first senior engineer and own the technical direction of LeadsPipe. You will turn a working product with 40+ AI modules into a reliable, scalable platform, set engineering standards, and lead the AI team as it grows from day one.

What you'll do

• Own the architecture of LeadsPipe: LLM services, agents, data pipelines, APIs and front end
• Design and ship the core AI models: lead scoring (likelihood × deal size × time-to-close × fit), intent detection and tender forecasting
• Decide build-vs-buy across LLM providers, vector databases and data vendors, keeping cost per lead under control
• Set up CI/CD, testing, monitoring, security and data-privacy practices fit for enterprise clients
• Hire, mentor and code-review the LLM, data and full-stack engineers
• Translate client and founder requirements into a clear technical roadmap and delivery plan
• Protect and extend our IP, working with the founder on patent filings
What you bring
• 6+ years of software engineering, including 2+ years building production ML or LLM systems
• Strong Python and/or TypeScript; experience with cloud (AWS, GCP or Azure) and SQL/Postgres
• Hands-on work with LLM APIs, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and agent frameworks
• Experience taking a product from prototype to production with real users
• Comfort leading a small team in an early-stage, fast-moving environment
Nice to have
• B2B SaaS, sales-tech, CRM or data-enrichment background
• Experience with Supabase, vector stores (pgvector, Pinecone) or LLM evaluation tooling
• Exposure to SOC 2 or GDPR compliance
What we offer
• Meaningful founding-team equity (ESOP), vesting over 4 years
• Remote-first, flexible hours, with overlap to UAE (GST) time
• Direct mentorship from a founder with 15+ years of enterprise BD across AtkinsRéalis, Parsons and Worley
• Real ownership: your work ships to paying enterprise clients
