FAQ
Hiring questions.
How much does it cost to hire an AI developer?
It depends on seniority and the hours you need. See our pricing page or book a call for a quote.
What skills should an AI developer have?
Experience with the main AI models (OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, Llama), retrieval (RAG) and vector databases, AI agents and tool use, Python or Node.js for the backend, and a habit of testing and measuring cost. Just as important: knowing when a simpler, non-AI solution is the better choice.
Can I hire AI developers part time?
Yes. You can hire full time (about 160 hours a month), part time (about 80 hours a month) or buy a block of hours for smaller tasks.
Can we interview the developer first?
Yes. We share profiles and you interview the developers you like before anyone starts.
What if the developer is not a good fit?
Tell us and we will replace them at no extra cost, with a hand-over so no work is lost.
Which time zones do you cover?
Our team works from India, with working-hour overlap for clients in the US, UK, Europe and Australia. We agree the overlap hours with you before the start.
Who owns the code?
You do. All code and work we produce for you is yours, and we sign an NDA if you need one. See Security & NDA.
Which AI models do you work with?
OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini and open-source models such as Llama, chosen for your needs, budget and data rules.
How do you keep AI costs under control?
We measure cost per request from the start, cache and route requests to cheaper models where quality allows, and set alerts. See AI cost monitoring.
