Portfolio Tech Lead – Infinity MENA

About Infinity MENA

Infinity Constellation is expanding into the Middle East with the launch of Infinity MENA, a new regional holding company. Infinity builds and scales AI-driven businesses in essential service sectors, creating long-term compounding value. Infinity MENA will localize Infinity’s proven business models and launch new ventures that respond to regional opportunities.

We are seeking a Portfolio Tech Lead to drive the localization, technical launch, and scaling of multiple business units within Infinity MENA. This role is hands-on from day one: you’ll be coding in our stack (Python + TypeScript), leading a small team, and deploying AI automation systems. Over time, this position evolves into a portfolio-level technology leadership role overseeing technical direction across multiple Infinity MENA businesses. This role is based in Dubai.

Responsibilities

• Hands-On Development & Launch

  • Write production-grade code in Python and TypeScript, Infinity’s core stack.

  • Build and integrate AI agents, automation pipelines, and AI-first workflows into Infinity MENA business units.

  • Stand up infrastructure, data pipelines, and AI-enabled product features for MVP launches.

  • Lead and mentor a small founding engineering team (1–5 engineers) while setting coding and delivery standards.
    

• Localization & Regionalization

  • Customize Infinity’s platforms for the MENA market (Arabic/English systems, payments, compliance, hosting, and data residency).

  • Ensure AI-enabled processes are culturally and legally aligned with regional requirements.

  • Translate Infinity’s global playbooks into MENA-specific systems while ensuring interoperability with the global platform.
    

• Scaling & Leadership

  • Transition from player-coach to portfolio-level leader as Infinity MENA companies scale.

  • Partner with BU CEOs and founders to architect scalable AI-first systems and hire/mentor regional engineering leaders.

  • Build shared technical services (DevOps, AI/ML infrastructure, analytics, IT, security) to accelerate scale across companies.
    

• AI Strategy & Governance

  • Be the senior-most AI/automation expert in MENA, advising Infinity leaders on where to deploy AI agents and automation for maximum leverage.

  • Evaluate, prototype, and implement AI frameworks (ex. LangChain, n8n, RAG systems, multi-agent coordination, etc.) across businesses.

  • Ensure AI systems meet data security, safety, and reliability standards, especially in regulated industries (finance, healthcare, logistics).
    

• Advisory & Portfolio Support

  • Serve as a trusted advisor to the Infinity MENA CEO and board on technical risks, AI adoption, and portfolio-wide opportunities.

  • Represent technology in board meetings, portfolio reviews, and investor discussions.
    

Requirements

• Experience

  • 8–12+ years in software engineering and technical leadership, with a hands-on coding background.

  • Strong experience in Python and TypeScript (Infinity’s core stack).

  • Demonstrated expertise in AI automation, AI agents, and applied ML/LLM systems.

  • Track record of launching or localizing products in multiple geographies (MENA experience preferred but not required).

  • Prior experience in a portfolio/holding company, startup studio, or VC/PE-backed scaling environment is a plus.
    

• Skills & Capabilities

  • Deep understanding of cloud infrastructure, DevOps, and scalable architecture.

  • Practical knowledge of AI frameworks (e.g., LangChain, LlamaIndex, CrewAI, AutoGen, fine-tuning pipelines).

  • Strong knowledge of MENA-specific technical considerations (localization, payments, regulatory environments).

  • Ability to ship code today and build/scale teams tomorrow.
    

• Mindset

  • Builder-operator: thrives in hands-on coding mode, then scales to team-building and governance.

  • Entrepreneurial, adaptable across multiple businesses and teams.

  • Collegial, intellectually honest, and able to red-team assumptions to drive the highest standard of execution.
    

What We Offer

• A once-in-a-decade opportunity to build the Infinity MENA technology foundation from scratch.

• Immediate hands-on impact with clear growth trajectory from founding engineer/lead → portfolio CTO.

• Exposure to multiple industries, founders, and CEOs, with portfolio-wide influence.

• Competitive compensation, including long-term equity incentives aligned with Infinity’s compounding value philosophy.

• A collegial, ambitious culture that balances innovation with discipline.
