What Our AI Engineers Are Actually Judged On

We screen for the gap between a demo and a product, alongside our AI development and data teams.

AI evaluation engineering

Evaluation Before Enthusiasm

A measurable eval set before shipping, so quality is a number rather than a vibe.

Eval setsRegressionHuman reviewMetrics
LLM cost and latency engineering

Cost and Latency Discipline

Token spend and response time treated as product requirements from the start.

CachingRoutingBatchingBudgets
AI safety and grounding

Grounding and Guardrails

Retrieval grounding, refusal handling and fallbacks so failure is graceful.

ML data pipeline engineering

Data Pipeline Reality

Most of the work is the data, and our engineers expect that rather than resent it.

Questions We Hear Every Week

LLM application work with OpenAI and Anthropic models, RAG using pgvector, Pinecone and Weaviate, classical ML in PyTorch and scikit-learn, computer vision, NLP, and MLOps on MLflow, Ray and Airflow.
Yes, they are separate pools from general ML. Tell us whether the work is retrieval quality, agent and tool use, or evaluation and cost control, and we match on that rather than a generic AI title.
Yes, and they will suggest the cheaper alternative. A rules engine or a well-tuned search index beats a model for plenty of problems, and finding that out during scoping is far cheaper than after.
Yes. Engagements run full-time, part-time or hourly with no long-term lock-in, so you can add engineers for a push and release them afterwards.
You do, entirely. We sign an NDA before any technical conversation and assign all IP to you as work is delivered.
We replace them, at no cost and with no notice period. Every placement runs a 15-day risk-free trial, and you keep everything produced during it.
