About Pylot
Pylot is building an AI workforce for mid-market freight forwarders in the GCC. Freight forwarding companies manage complex operational processes across shipments, customs, documentation, customer communication, carrier coordination, and exception handling. Many of these workflows are still highly manual, repetitive, and dependent on human operators.
Our mission is to augment freight forwarding teams with AI agents and intelligent automation that can handle operational tasks, streamline workflows, and help teams operate more efficiently at scale.
We're looking for a Founding Engineer (Applied AI) to work directly with the CTO in building the first version of the platform, shaping technical architecture, and helping define the engineering culture from day one.
What You'll Build
- AI agents and workflow automation systems
- Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) applications
- Document processing and knowledge retrieval pipelines
- Integrations with business systems and third-party APIs
- Internal tools that automate operational workflows
- Production-grade AI features powered by modern LLMs
