Job Purpose
The R&D Engineer prototypes and evaluates emerging technologies, platforms and AI capabilities ahead of product commitment, so that major technology bets are de-risked before they are made.
The role runs time-boxed proofs of concept with defined success criteria and a clear go or no-go outcome and is accountable for an honest verdict rather than a favourable one.
Proven work is handed to Development or AI for productization with documentation and a working reference implementation, so that the receiving team inherits something they can build on rather than a demonstration.
The role exists to protect long-horizon work from day-to-day delivery pressure. It is an individual contributor position with group-wide scope and a deliberately experimental remit.
The group operates an AI-first model. AI agentic tooling is the default means of producing work in this role, and the role holder runs it, directs it and remains fully accountable for reviewing and validating everything it produces.
What You'll Do:
Technology Scouting & Assessment
Proofs of Concept
Recommendations & Productization
AI & Machine Learning
Required Experience
Working Model: Onsite - 5 days in office
Location: Amman - Jordan
