AI talent practice

AI hires, judged on what they shipped.

The market is not short on people with AI in their title. It is short on the ones who have owned a system in production. Those are the people we go and find.

Roles we run

From the model to the customer

We search across the full path an AI product takes: the people who build it, the people who run it, and the people who put it in front of a buyer.

AI / LLM engineers

Retrieval, agents and evaluation in production, not in a notebook.

What we look for

A system they shipped, the eval that told them it worked, and what they changed after it failed.

AI architects

The person who owns the model, data and integration decisions for a product or a client.

What we look for

Decisions they made under a cost or latency limit, and the trade they would make differently now.

ML engineers

Training, fine-tuning, inference and the pipelines that keep models healthy after launch.

What we look for

Ownership past the first release: monitoring, drift, on-call and the cost of serving.

Forward deployed & solutions engineers

Engineers who work inside a customer's environment and ship live workflows, not demos.

What we look for

Speed in an unfamiliar codebase, and the judgment to keep a human in the loop where it matters.

Data & platform engineers

The data, infrastructure and reliability work that AI systems depend on. Staff level and above.

What we look for

Systems that stayed up at scale, and a clear account of the incident that taught them the most.

Go-to-market for AI platforms

Sales engineers, enterprise account executives and alliance leaders who sell AI to large buyers.

What we look for

Someone who can take a CISO through model governance without waiting for backup.

How we screen

Four questions every AI candidate answers

Take-home exercises tell you who has free evenings. We ask candidates to walk through real work instead.

  • What did you ship, and who used it?We want a system with real users, and the candidate's own part in it.
  • How did you know it worked?If they cannot name the eval, the conversation ends there.
  • What broke?The answer shows whether they owned the system or only built the first version.
  • What would you do differently?Senior people have a specific answer. Everyone else has a general one.
