What a AI developer does for you
Most AI prototypes stall because nobody defined what 'good' means. Our AI developers build evaluation sets first, treat retrieval as its own system, add guardrails and human approval where actions matter, and watch latency and cost per request. They integrate models into the tools your teams already use rather than building yet another chat window.
When to hire
- You have an AI pilot that needs to become a reliable product
- You want to add assistants, search or automation to an existing platform
- You need RAG over your own documents with permissions respected
- You are building agents that take actions in business systems
Responsibilities
What they will own
- Build evaluation sets and automated quality checks
- Design retrieval pipelines: parsing, chunking, hybrid search, re-ranking
- Implement agents with tool use, approvals and audit logs
- Integrate models with product and business systems
- Monitor quality, latency and cost in production

How we assess every AI developer
Profiles are shared only after these checks. You then run your own interviews.
- Review of production AI work
- Practical exercise on retrieval and evaluation
- System design interview for an agent workflow
- Data-privacy and safety judgement check
Hiring process
From requirement to first sprint
- 1Share your requirementRoles, seniority, stack, time-zone overlap and what the developers will own.
- 2Review profilesWe shortlist engineers whose experience matches, and share profiles for your review.
- 3InterviewYou interview every candidate. Nobody joins your project without your approval.
- 4Onboard & startAccess, rituals and first-sprint goals are agreed; the developer works in your tools.
- 5Review & scaleRegular check-ins on quality and velocity. Scale the team up or down as the roadmap changes.

Frequently asked questions
Which AI models do your developers work with?
Commercial APIs and open-weight models. We choose based on quality on your evaluation set, data-residency requirements, latency and cost.
How quickly can developers start?
It depends on the role, seniority and number of people. We share profiles for your review first; initial engineers can often start within a few weeks of agreeing scope. We will not promise a start date before we have checked availability.
Do the developers work in our tools and time zone?
Yes. They work in your repositories, tracker and chat, and we agree a meaningful overlap with your working hours before the engagement starts. We have offices in India, the USA and the UK.
Who owns the code?
You do. All work product and IP are assigned to you under the engagement agreement, and NDAs are signed before any confidential material is shared.
Can we interview the developers?
Yes. You review profiles and can interview every engineer before they join your project.
