Hire a remote AI engineer.
An AI engineer who ships LLM features that survive contact with real users — grounded retrieval, evaluated prompts, sane cost, and honest handling of the cases where the model is wrong.
Hire an AI engineer →What a remote AI engineer does for you
- Builds LLM-backed features against production APIs
- Implements retrieval so answers are grounded in your data
- Builds evaluation sets and measures quality rather than vibing it
- Manages token cost, latency and rate limiting
- Designs the fallback path for when the model gets it wrong
What we vet for
- Practical build task using a real model API
- Evaluation design — can they prove a change was an improvement
- Retrieval and embedding fundamentals
- Software engineering ability, not just prompt writing
- Realism about what current models cannot reliably do
Recruited and vetted to your requirement. We do not keep a standing bench for Engineering & Data — we would rather tell you that than imply a shortlist exists before you have described the job. We source and vet against your brief, you review the shortlist, and you interview before anyone starts.
Hiring a remote AI engineer
Is this different from a normal developer?
It is a software engineer with additional judgement about non-deterministic systems. The failure mode we screen out hardest is prompt enthusiasts who cannot ship maintainable software.
Can they work with my existing product team?
Yes, and they should. AI features that are built off to the side rarely make it into the product.
How does hiring work?
Engineering is recruited and vetted to your requirement, with a practical build task and an evaluation exercise.
Which providers do they work with?
Whichever you use. The engineering discipline transfers across providers; the evaluation habit is the part that matters.
Other Engineering & Data roles
Builders and data people, vetted on real work rather than puzzles.
