Junior AI Engineer — AI Agents

About Aidapt

Aidapt helps mid-market companies across MEA turn AI on not as a slogan as a measurable operating capability. Were founder-led profitable and growing. Lighthouse clients are live and shipping.

The seat in one sentence

Junior AI Engineer based in Karachi. 0 to 1 year of experience. But honestly the years dont matter. What matters is whether youve actually shipped something.

The one rule before you even think about applying

If you dont have a deployed project to show us dont apply.

Were not being harsh. Weve just learned that the fastest way to find builders is to ask for proof of building. A GitHub repo with 3 commits doesnt count. A live tool that does something real even something small does.

What youll do

You join a Pod. You work inside real client environments across MEA. Every 2 weeks youre expected to have shipped something to production. Not a prototype. Not a demo. Production. The kind of thing a business is actually using the next morning.

Youll also learn to translate fuzzy business problems into clean technical solutions. Sit in client calls. Listen. Ask the right questions. Shape the right approach not the most technically interesting one. We pair you with our AI Engineering Practice Lead and a Specialist wholl teach you the patterns that scale.

The stack youll work with day to day

React PostgreSQL or Supabase Python for automations n8n or or Zapier and AI agents.

The skills under those: prompt engineering tool calling API wiring.

You should also just know the AI space. Whats worth using right now whats noise what models do what. Not from reading newsletters. From actually building with them.

What success looks like

First 90 days (this is a hard fluency gate not a soft check-in)

• Pro-fluent on the parts of the stack your engagements demand
  
• Two AI agents / automations shipped to production code
  
• Active daily pair-programming with the Specialist
  
• Confident enough to sit in a client call and contribute to scoping
  

First 6 months

• Independently leading workstreams on smaller automations
  
• Patterns library contributions documented and reused
  
• On a clear path to L2 Specialist (typically 9-12 months from start)
  

Three questions well ask you in the first conversation

1. What did you build
   
2. Is it live
   
3. Does it connect to something real a database an API an actual business process
   

If the answer to all three is yes we want to talk.

What we wont offer

• A toy-project role we ship production
  
• A 9-to-5 we ship in sprints
  
• Senior comp for a junior seat
