Hire AI/ML Engineers
Engineers who take models from notebook to production — evals included.
Hire AI/ML engineers who ship: RAG systems, fine-tuning pipelines, evaluation harnesses, and the MLOps that keeps models honest in production. Not researchers — builders who happen to know the research.
In a market flooded with prompt-tinkerers, our vetting filters for engineers who can show you a production system and explain its failure modes.

FAQ
Hiring ai/ml engineers — common questions
How fast can we get profiles?
You'll have 3–5 vetted, role-matched profiles within 48 hours of sharing your requirements, and most clients complete interviews within a week.
What if the developer isn't a fit?
Every engagement starts with a 1-week risk-free trial. If it's not working, we replace the developer at no cost or you walk away owing nothing for that week.
How do time zones work?
We guarantee a minimum 4-hour overlap with your core hours and set a written communication cadence — daily standups, weekly demos, and a shared tracker — before day one.
Who owns the code and IP?
You do, fully. Contracts include IP assignment and NDAs; developers work in your repos under your access controls.
How are your developers vetted?
Under 4% of applicants pass our pipeline: structured technical interviews, a practical build exercise reviewed by senior engineers, communication screening, and reference checks.
