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.

  • Experience with WhatsApp Business Platform integrations and messaging workflows


What We're Looking For

We're looking for someone who enjoys building from zero to one, can move quickly with a high degree of ownership, and is excited about applying AI to solve real-world operational problems. As an early team member, you'll have significant influence on product direction, architecture, and engineering decisions.
