AIJobsUAE Launches at Dubai AI Festival to Match Specialist Talent

AIJobsUAE, a UAE-based talent platform, launched at the Dubai AI Festival to connect companies with specialist AI professionals, addressing the gap in traditional hiring for evolving AI roles.

AIJobsUAE, a new talent platform dedicated to AI careers and sourcing, officially launched on October 26, 2026, at the Dubai AI Festival held at the Dubai World Trade Centre. The platform aims to bridge the gap between companies seeking advanced AI expertise and professionals with specialised skills in artificial intelligence.

Traditional job boards often struggle with the unique requirements of emerging AI roles, such as AI Architects, Forward Deployed Engineers, and AI-enabled Finance Specialists. AIJobsUAE offers a curated marketplace for AI-only opportunities, organised by specific skills and roles rather than generic categories. The platform also provides advisory services to help employers define their AI talent needs and offers end-to-end support for critical AI roles.

According to Ryan D’Souza, Founder of AIJobsUAE, the challenge lies in identifying the right capabilities and connecting them with suitable opportunities, rather than merely finding more candidates. The initiative aligns with the UAE National AI Strategy 2031 and the Dubai Economic Agenda D33, both of which rely on specialised AI talent to achieve their goals.
