How are your AI engineers vetted?
Every engineer passes a multi-stage screen: a technical assessment, a live problem-solving interview, a portfolio of shipped production AI work, and a communication check. We accept only a small fraction of applicants.
How fast can I get matched?
Most clients are introduced to a hand-picked engineer within a few days of sharing their needs — not weeks or months.
What if it is not the right fit?
Every engagement starts with a risk-free trial. If the engineer is not the right fit, you are not billed for the trial and we rematch you — or you can walk away, no strings attached.
Are engineers remote? What about time zones?
Yes — our network is global and remote-first. We match for meaningful working-hours overlap with your team and can prioritize specific regions or time zones.
What roles and skills do you cover?
AI, LLM, RAG and agent engineers, plus ML, MLOps/platform, GenAI, data science and computer vision — across the modern 2026 stack: LangChain, vector databases, MCP, fine-tuning and AWS/Azure/GCP.
How do pricing and billing work?
Transparent hourly or monthly rates with no upfront fees. Hire on-demand, part-time or full-time, billed on a simple monthly cycle. Scale up, pause or cancel as your needs change.
Can engineers work in my stack and under my contracts?
Yes. Engineers integrate with your repos, tools and workflows, and can work under your security, IP and compliance requirements.
Do you place teams, not just individuals?
Our focus is matching elite individual contractors, but we can place several engineers who work together when a project needs more hands.
