AI-native role

Ingeniero de IA

Builds the machinery behind the magic — retrieval, orchestration, monitoring — so your AI works in production, not just in the demo.

Start within 2 weeks 60-day trial CET ±1 · EN C1
What they do

Production first, demo second.

01

LLM integrations

Wires models into your product properly: streaming, fallbacks, rate limits, cost controls.

02

RAG pipelines

Retrieval that actually retrieves — chunking, embeddings, vector search, reranking over your real data.

03

Agent orchestration

Multi-step agents with tools, memory and state — built on frameworks or bare metal, whichever survives production.

04

Evals & monitoring

Quality dashboards, regression suites and alerting so behavior drift is caught before customers catch it.

05

Cost & latency engineering

Model routing, caching and prompt budgets that keep the unit economics sane at scale.

06

Security & data boundaries

Keeps customer data where it belongs — tenancy, PII handling, audit trails.

When you need one

The moment this role pays for itself.

The classic moment: the proof-of-concept impressed everyone, and now it has to survive real traffic, real data and a real bill.

How we vet

Vetted on the work, not the résumé.

Every AI engineer on our bench has passed a role-specific battery — designed for the AI era, where the portfolio matters more than the years.

Systems design exercise

Design retrieval over messy, real-world data — we probe the trade-offs, not the buzzwords.

Code review, real code

Candidates walk us through production LLM code they wrote — and defend the decisions.

Production war stories

Incidents, drift, cost blowups: we check they've felt production, not just tutorials.

Evals literacy

If they can't say how they'd measure quality, they don't reach the bench.

What good looks like

The first 90 days, concretely.

Every placement starts with agreed outcomes. This is the typical shape for an AI engineer — calibrated to your context in the intro call.

01

Days 1–30

Audits the current pipeline, adds evals and observability — you finally see cost, latency and quality per feature.

02

Days 31–60

Rebuilds the weakest link (retrieval, orchestration or fallbacks); reliability and unit economics improve measurably.

03

Days 61–90

Production hardening done: monitoring, provider fallbacks, cost budgets — the AI feature stops being the fragile part.

Preguntas frecuentes

Hiring an AI engineer, answered.

Straight answers to what clients ask before the first placement — the rest is a 30-minute call.

Which model providers do they work with?

All major ones — OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, plus open-weight models where data or cost demands it. Provider-agnostic architecture with fallbacks is part of the standard vetting.

Can they fix our hallucination problem?

Usually — most 'hallucination problems' are retrieval and eval problems in disguise. The fix starts with measuring where answers fail, then repairing the retrieval and grounding chain, not just tweaking prompts.

How is vetting different for AI-era roles?

Classic CV screening barely works for roles this new — so we vet on artifacts and exercises instead: shipped work, live design or build tasks, and evaluation-writing. The battery is role-specific and documented, so you see exactly what was tested.

How does the 60-day trial period work?

The first 60 days are the proof: if the match isn't right, the placement ends without long-term obligation — or we replace the profile. The risk of a wrong hire stays with us, not with you.

Where do these specialists work from?

From our network across the Netherlands, Ukraine, Hungary, Romania, Poland and Bulgaria — CET ±1 and fluent English, so they join your standups live. Probegin contracts and payrolls them; you get one Dutch counterparty.
