Talent
Illustrative roles we place regularly. In real engagements, you review specific backgrounds, work samples (where permissible), and interview for your stack—not a generic "AI developer" label.
Example profiles
Not stock biographies—each profile is shaped from real seniors we have placed. Specific matches for your roadmap come after the discovery call.
LLM applications · evaluation · Python/Go
Former lead on customer-facing copilots; ships retrieval stacks, eval suites, and guardrails with measurable quality bars.
Serving · CI/CD for models · observability
Builds reproducible training and release pipelines; treats model rollouts with the same rigour as software releases.
Streaming · warehouse · feature pipelines
Designs data foundations that keep ML features fresh and auditable—without turning your lake into chaos.
TypeScript · product UX · model UX
Bridges design and model behaviour: crisp UX for uncertain outputs, resilient loading states, and thoughtful human review.
Roles we place regularly
AI-heavy work rarely lives in one role. We staff across the surface so a single engagement can cover modelling, platform, data, and the product layer that ships it to users.
AI / ML
Applied ML, LLM applications, retrieval, evaluation, agents, MLOps, computer vision, NLP.
Backend & platform
TypeScript / Python / Go services, cloud-native infrastructure, event systems, security-aware foundations.
Frontend & full-stack
React, Next.js, Astro—product engineers who pair model behaviour with crisp, accessible UX.
Data engineering
Streaming, warehousing, feature pipelines, semantic layers—the ML/AI dependencies usually under-staffed.
Product design
Senior designers who understand AI UX patterns, evaluation surfaces, and human-in-the-loop tooling.
Engineering leadership
Tech leads, principals, and fractional leads to anchor a workstream or harden review and delivery practice.
How matching works
Most teams move from first email to engineers shipping in three to five weeks—dictated mostly by your interview pace, not ours.
Send the role(s), stack, engagement model, timezone, and any compliance constraints. Briefer is fine—we will ask the right follow-ups.
We share senior profiles vetted against your scenarios—usually within 5–10 business days. Each comes with a real-work signal, not just a CV.
Interview at your pace and against your own rubric. We coordinate logistics; you keep the hiring decision.
Selected engineers join your rituals—standups, PRs, on-call where needed. We stay accountable for delivery and fit.
Need a specific shape we have not described? Tell us the role and the timeline—we will tell you honestly whether we are the right partner for it.
