What it costs

Monthly price per full-time engineer, about 160 hours. No recruiting fee, and the first 2 weeks are free if it isn't working.

What they build

Right when you have a clear AI feature in mind and the data to support it. Our team also delivers data and AI projects with Keyrus.

LLM features

Assistants, summaries, extraction and search inside your product, built on Claude, OpenAI or open models.

Agents

Multi-step agents that call your tools and APIs, with guardrails and logs you can audit.

Retrieval (RAG)

Your documents and data indexed so answers are grounded and cited, not guessed.

Data pipelines

The ingestion, cleaning and warehousing that AI features depend on, in Python and SQL.

What we vet for

A senior engineer, not a recruiter, runs every stage: a communication screen, a practical task in your stack, a technical interview and references. You see the scorecard and interview the shortlist.

Python, plus the Claude and OpenAI APIs
Retrieval: embeddings, vector databases and chunking
Evaluation: test sets and metrics before launch
Agent frameworks and tool calling
Data engineering with SQL, dbt or Snowflake
Cost, latency and privacy trade-offs

Questions

Straight answers on time, money, people and IP.

Do your engineers train models?

Mostly they build on existing models: calling, grounding, evaluating and integrating them. That is where most product value is today. Custom training is scoped separately.

Is our data safe?

Engineers work in your cloud accounts, under NDA, with the model providers and data rules you choose. Nothing is used to train third-party models without your say.

How fast can they start?

AI engineers are a matched role: we source and vet engineers for your product and team, usually within 2 to 3 weeks, and you interview the shortlist.

What does it cost to hire AI engineers?

From $3,000 a month (about $19/hr) for a mid-level engineer, $4,000 for senior and $5,200 for a lead, for about 160 hours a month. Overtime, when you need it, is 1.5× the normal rate.

Who owns the code?

You do, from the first commit. We sign a mutual NDA before you share details, every contract assigns all code and IP to you, and the code lives in your repositories.

Other engineers we place

Every role is on the same public rate card. Need a mix? Build a pod.
