The role

What an LLM engineer brings to your team

An LLM engineer is a software engineer who treats the model as a component: grounded through retrieval, constrained by guardrails, measured by an evaluation harness and wired into your systems with the permissions and logging a business needs.

Our LLM engineers have shipped production systems, including the retrieval-based parts assistant we built for Mayster, and they bring the habits that separate demos from systems: test sets before features, citations before confidence, and identity discipline before any agent touches live data.

  • Senior by default: 5+ years of commercial experience and a reviewed work sample.
  • You interview every hire; we place no one you have not signed off.
  • Your process, your repo and your tools, followed from day one.
What we deliver

What our LLM engineers build

The work our LLM engineers ship, from day one.

  • RAG knowledge systems

    Assistants grounded in your documents with citations and permissions, like the Mayster parts assistant in our case studies.

  • AI agents

    Workflow agents with scoped identities, tool access and human approval at the consequential steps.

  • Evaluation infrastructure

    Test sets, metrics and regression gates that make model and prompt changes safe to ship.

  • LLM integrations

    Language-model features inside existing products, with the gateway, logging and fallbacks production demands.

  • Model strategy

    Choosing and benchmarking hosted and open models per task, including the fine-tune-or-retrieve decision.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How fast can I hire LLM engineers?

    You get a shortlist of vetted candidates within a few days. Most engineers start two to four weeks after the brief.

  • How is an LLM engineer different from an ML engineer?

    LLM engineers build on top of foundation models: retrieval, agents, evaluation and integration. ML engineers train and operate predictive models on your data. Many products need both, in sequence.

  • Have they shipped real systems?

    Yes, and we vet for exactly that: production retrieval or agent systems with users, not notebook experiments.

  • Can we interview candidates before they start?

    Yes. You interview every candidate and decide who joins your team.

  • Can we scale the team later?

    Yes, up or down with a 30-day notice, through staff augmentation for individuals or team augmentation for a whole squad.
