About Tavily
We're building the infrastructure layer for agentic web interaction at scale. Our API is designed from the ground up to power Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and real-time reasoning in AI systems. By connecting LLMs to high-quality, trustworthy web content, we help developers build agents that are not only intelligent — but also informed.
We work with some of the most innovative teams in AI — from small startups shaping the ecosystem to the largest enterprises deploying AI at scale. Whether it’s powering sales assistants, research copilots, or internal knowledge tools, we’re the missing link between LLMs and the real world.
The Role: Tech Lead (Abu Dhabi, On-Site)
We’re looking for a Tech Lead to join Tavily and establish our new office in Abu Dhabi. You’ll lead a growing team of around 12 technical professionals and play a central role in building the foundation for Tavily’s operations in the region.
This is a high-impact leadership role for someone with deep technical expertise and proven management experience who thrives in fast-paced, high-ownership environments.
What You’ll Do
Full-time employees in our Abu Dhabi office are entitled to the following benefits:
