Hire AI/ML Engineers
Integrate artificial intelligence into your products with dedicated AI/ML engineers who build production-ready systems, not just prototypes. Our AI and ML engineers implement RAG pipelines, fine-tune models, and deploy GPT-4, Gemini, and Claude APIs into real applications that handle millions of queries. Teams that want a fully managed approach often pair these engineers with our AI integration services.

Common questions about hiring ai/ml engineers
What AI technologies do your engineers work with?
Our AI/ML engineers integrate GPT-4, Claude, Gemini, and open-source models into production applications. They build RAG systems with vector databases like Pinecone and Weaviate, implement semantic search, and deploy custom fine-tuned models. Read our AI code audit guide for a look at our quality standards.
Can your AI engineers work with my existing data?
Yes. Our AI engineers build data pipelines that ingest your existing data, clean and structure it, and feed it into AI models. They handle everything from PDF parsing and text extraction to embedding generation and vector indexing.
Do you build custom ML models or just integrate APIs?
Both. For most business applications, we integrate and optimize existing LLM APIs, which is faster and more cost-effective. For specialized needs like custom classification, anomaly detection, or domain-specific models, we build and train custom solutions.
How much does it cost to hire an AI/ML engineer per hour?
AI/ML engineer hourly rates range from $100-$200/hour in North America, $70-$160/hour in Western Europe, and $25-$38/hour through Geminate. Our dedicated AI/ML engineers cost $4,000-$6,000/month full-time — roughly $25-$38/hour — saving you 50-65% compared to hiring locally. AI/ML talent commands a premium everywhere due to high demand.
Can I hire an AI/ML engineer for a short-term project?
Yes. Our minimum engagement is 1 month. Short-term AI projects work well for proof-of-concept builds, RAG system prototypes, chatbot development, and AI integration into existing products. Many clients start with a 2-month POC and extend once they see results.
What if the AI/ML engineer does not meet expectations?
Free replacement within 1 week. If the trial week does not work out, you do not pay for that week. After the trial, if performance drops at any point, we replace the engineer at no extra cost. AI/ML is a specialized field, so we carefully match engineers to your specific use case.
Do you provide senior or lead-level AI/ML engineers?
Yes. We have mid-level AI/ML engineers ($4,000-$5,000/month) and senior/lead ($5,000-$7,500/month). Senior AI/ML engineers bring architecture expertise in RAG systems, model fine-tuning, MLOps pipelines, and can design AI strategy for your entire product.
How do your AI/ML engineers compare to Toptal or Upwork freelancers?
Three key differences: our AI/ML engineers are full-time dedicated to your project (not juggling multiple clients), they are backed by a team (data engineers, backend devs, PM), and they cost 40-55% less than Toptal. Toptal AI/ML engineers typically charge $80-$150+/hour. Our engineers deliver the same quality from $25-$38/hour with full team support.
