# The hardest deployments are not in San Francisco. We put engineers inside Gulf companies that never ran on software, and stay until the work runs on AI. We are hiring engineers, deployment specialists and business development, in Muscat. [See open roles](https://qantara.systems/company/careers#roles) ## Open roles Five roles, all full-time. Apply to the one closest to what you have done. ### Engineering and deployment - Founding forward-deployed engineer: Full-time, on site. Muscat, with time across the Gulf. Lead deployments end to end, set how we build, and help hire the engineers who follow. - Forward-deployed engineer: Full-time, on site. Muscat. Build agents inside a customer's operation, from the first morning on site until they run without you. - Deployment specialist: Full-time, on site. Muscat. Map how the work really runs, train the people who use the agents, and keep them running after handover. ### Business development - Founding business development representative: Full-time. Muscat. Open our first doors in the Gulf, and build how we find and start every engagement. - Business development representative: Full-time. Muscat. Find the companies whose operations we can fix, and start the conversation with the people who run them. ## The work Three kinds of work, one team. Each starts inside a Gulf company's day, and ends when the work runs on its own. ### Engineers: Build it where the work happens - Sit with the people who run it: On site from the start of their working day, writing down how the process really runs, in the systems and on paper. - Build the agent around their systems: Connections to the ERP, WhatsApp and email, the thresholds the team sets, and the Arabic and English the work arrives in. - Test it on their past cases: Before anything goes live, the agent runs on real past cases, and the team marks what good looks like. - Stay until it runs without you: Measure against the baseline, tune until the numbers move, hand over, and start on the next process. ### Deployment: Make it part of the day - Train the people who use it: In their language, on their own cases, until approving an agent's work is part of the day. - Read the numbers every week: The results read the same way as the baseline, with the people who run the work. - Catch what changes: A new price list, a new branch, a new supplier: you see it first, and the agent is adjusted. - Be the person they call: The named contact after handover, in their time zone and their language. ### Business development: Open the right doors - Find the companies: Distributors, freight firms, manufacturers and dealer groups across the Gulf whose work still runs on paper, calls and spreadsheets. - Start with an introduction: Most engagements here begin with one. You earn them, follow them up and keep them. - Learn the operation before the pitch: Ask how the work runs today, who does it and where the time goes, and bring an engineer to the second meeting. - Hand over a clear first scope: The process to start with and the numbers it will be measured on, agreed before anyone visits. ## Who we are looking for People who have made something work inside someone else's operation, and want the harder version of the problem. 1. You have shipped software into someone else's operation and stayed until it worked. 2. You can sit with an operations manager at seven in the morning and with a model at midnight. 3. You care about the outcome more than the stack. 4. You would rather be on site than on a call, and you listen before you build. 5. You write things down, so the next person starts from what you learned. 6. You say plainly what will work and what will not, to the person who owns the decision. 7. Arabic helps in every role, and matters most for our Muscat team. ## How we work A small team, close to the work. Four habits we hire for and keep. - On site, not on slides: We do the work where it happens: at the branch, in the warehouse, beside the people who run the process. - Measured on their numbers: We are judged on the customer's own figures, read the same way before and after, never on what we shipped. - Written down: Every decision is in the record, the code and the notes, so the next person starts from what we already know. - Two languages, one standard: Arabic and English get the same care: in the product, in the documents and in the room. ## What candidates ask ### Which role should I apply for? The one closest to what you have done. Tell us in your answer if another role would suit you better. ### Do I need to speak Arabic? English is required for every role. Arabic helps in all of them, and matters most for our Muscat team. ### How much of the work is on site? Most of it, for engineers and deployment specialists: the work happens inside the customer's operation. Business development is in meetings with the people who run it. ### How long should my answer be? As long as it takes to show what you made work, the people who ran it, and what changed. Most good answers fit on a page. ### Can I use AI to write it? Use AI the way you would on the job, and tell us where you did. ## Apply Four short fields and one question.
