£32,000 – £38,000 per year (GBP anchored)
Equity + Company Performance Bonus
About Mechanon
MECHANON is a Dubai-based company that creates and incubates new ventures from first principles. We form small, high-trust teams around real ideas, take them to market, get them working commercially, and then move on to the next venture. We are not an agency, consultancy, or services business. The first year is focused on platform building.
The Role
We are hiring a Founding Engineer to work directly with the founder in a small, focused team. This is a hands-on builder role, not a management role. You will take ideas from a blank page and turn them into working, live businesses. This role suits people who are comfortable working at pace, making decisions with incomplete information, and iterating quickly.

- Designing and building systems end-to-end
- First year focused on building platforms
- Designing and implementing AI agents

- Making technical decisions with incomplete information
- Shipping, breaking, fixing, and iterating quickly
- Supporting clean handover once a business is stable
The Kind of Person We’re Looking For
A serious builder who:
- operates without heavy structure
- takes responsibility for outcomes
- thinks commercially
- finishes things properly
This role requires discretion and sound judgment. You’ll have access to early-stage ideas, data, and systems.
