Hire AI developers to build practical AI into your product

Add remote AI engineers who integrate large language models into real products: chatbots that answer from your documents, AI agents that complete tasks, classification and extraction pipelines, and the evaluation to know they work.

When to hire

When to hire an AI developer

Hire an AI developer when you have a clear use case: answering customer questions from your help centre, extracting data from invoices and contracts, drafting replies, classifying tickets or searching across internal documents.

A good AI engineer starts with your data and success criteria, builds a small prototype, measures accuracy on real examples and only then scales up. That avoids impressive demos that fail with real users.

If you want the outcome rather than a developer on your team, see our AI automation services, where we deliver a finished workflow for a fixed price.

Vetting

How we vet AI developers

Every profile you receive has passed these checks. You still interview before you decide.

  1. LLM fundamentals

    Prompting, tool calling, context limits and why models hallucinate.

  2. Retrieval quality

    Chunking, embeddings and how to measure whether retrieval finds the right sources.

  3. Evaluation

    Building test sets and evals instead of judging by a few demos.

  4. Practical task

    A small RAG or extraction task with an evaluation report, reviewed by a senior engineer.

FAQ

Hiring AI developers: common questions

How much does it cost to hire an AI developer?

Hourly AI work starts from $18 an hour, and a dedicated full-time AI developer from $2,400 a month, with senior ML and LLM engineers priced higher. Model and API usage costs are billed by the provider to your account.

Which AI models do you work with?

OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini and open-source models such as Llama and Mistral. We choose based on accuracy, cost, privacy and latency for your use case.

Is our data safe when using AI APIs?

We use providers’ business APIs, which do not train on your data by default, send only what is needed, and can use self-hosted models when data must stay on your servers.

How do you stop the chatbot giving wrong answers?

By grounding answers in your documents, showing sources, testing on real questions, and handing over to a human when confidence is low. No system is perfect, so we measure and report accuracy.

Can you add AI to our existing app?

Yes. The AI developer works with your back-end team or builds a separate service your app calls through an API.

What is the difference between this and your AI automation service?

Hiring an AI developer adds an engineer to your team. Our AI automation service delivers a finished workflow for a fixed price, without you managing the work.

Related roles
