Engineering careers

A UAE engineering home for senior AI engineers.

Named work. On-premise GPU access. Published AED bands. Full UAE relocation. The kind of engineering culture that publishes papers, owns GitHub repositories, and ships production systems to regulated GCC enterprises.

Two engineer stories

A relocator and a UAE upgrader.

Two real Brocode engineers describe how they ended up here and what changed. Names anonymised at the engineers' request — full LinkedIn profiles available at the screen stage.

  • Persona A · Relocator

    Hana, Senior NLP Engineer, moving from Berlin

    "I was at a Berlin scale-up working on multilingual transformers. The work was interesting but every senior career step needed two more rounds of EU funding. Brocode published the AED band on the role, attached the relocation budget for a family of three including school search, and arranged the dependent visa in seven weeks. Most of my engineering time is now on a Khaleeji-specific fine-tuning workstream that ships to production. Three of my publications were co-written with the head of research in my first year."

  • Persona B · UAE upgrader

    Omar, MLOps Engineer, moving from a UAE bank internal team

    "I was running internal feature-store infrastructure at a UAE bank, working on the same backlog for three years with no external visibility. Brocode put my name on the reference architecture pack for the sovereign MLOps stack, sponsored my NeurIPS attendance with four conference days off the engagement clock, and gave me on-premise H100 access on day one. The first thing my interviewer did was ask which open-source project I wanted to contribute to during my 20% time."

Why senior engineers join Brocode

Six things we engineer into every role.

Each is documented in the offer letter, not promised in a slide deck.

Named work

Every engineer is publicly visible.

Every senior engineer has a public profile on the team page — publications, conference talks, GitHub and Hugging Face links explicitly supported.

On-premise GPU

DGX + H100 / H200.

NVIDIA DGX clusters, H100 / H200 on G42 Cloud, Hugging Face Enterprise. No queue behind corporate IT.

Published AED bands

No offer-stage games.

Every role lists a tax-free band, the benefits envelope, and the relocation package range. No negotiation games at the offer stage.

Learning and growth allowance

AED 15K per year.

AED 15,000 per engineer per year for conferences (NeurIPS, ICML, KDD, EMNLP), books, courses and certifications, plus four conference days off-clock.

20% time on research

One day a week.

One day a week on internal research, open-source contribution, paper writing, or a Hugging Face model card — with publication review by the head of research.

Full relocation support

A dedicated relocation coordinator.

Employment visa, family visa sponsorship, three months of company-paid temporary accommodation, school-search assistance, shipping allowance, and a UAE banking and rental onboarding coordinator.

The interview process

A two-stage process. Paid take-home. No whiteboard hazing.

We aim to take you from first conversation to written offer in under three weeks. You will know exactly where you stand at every step.

  1. Step 1

    45-minute technical screen

    A senior engineer walks through your background, your strongest production project, and the kind of work you want to do next. No coding under timer.

    Same week scheduling

  2. Step 2

    Paid 1-day take-home

    A scoped, real-world problem from our actual production work. Compensated at your published day rate. You keep the IP if we do not move forward.

    Paid AED 4,000 - 6,000

  3. Step 3

    1-day on-site with the team

    Pair-programming, a design discussion, and a 1-on-1 with the head of engineering. No whiteboard puzzles, no eight-round marathon.

    Travel covered if relocating

  4. Step 4

    Written offer within 5 working days

    A clear written offer with the AED band, benefits envelope, relocation budget, the team you would join, and the first three projects on the docket.

    No verbal-then-renegotiate games

The UAE Senior ML Engineer Compensation and Relocation Guide 2026

A 24-page PDF written for engineers, not recruiters. AED tax-free salary bands across Brocode and the wider UAE market (Big-4, banks, hyperscalers, scale-ups), cost-of-living modelling for a family of four in Dubai vs Abu Dhabi, visa and residency mechanics, schooling and healthcare cost ranges, and a relocation timeline checklist. Headline figure: a Senior ML Engineer in Brocode's published band takes home roughly 38-52% more disposable income than the equivalent FAANG band in London after rent and schooling, depending on family size.

Relocation, equity and culture

The questions engineers send us before the first call.

  • Big-4 engineers ship slides; Brocode engineers ship code. Big-4 runs a six-round interview marathon; we run a two-stage process with a paid take-home. Big-4 publishes partner names but not engineer names; every Brocode engineer has a public team-page profile. The Big-4 advisory model bills on utilisation against a single client account; you would be on PowerPoint duty. Brocode bills on engineering output across multiple clients and a 20% research time allowance.
