Hire / 03

Hire an AI agent engineer who ships agents into production.

An engineer who takes agent workflows past the pilot stage and into daily use.

The profile

Agent projects fail on the unglamorous parts: permissioning, evaluation, fallbacks, and integration into the systems where the work actually happens. Our agent engineers specialize in exactly that — the discipline that separates a shipped agent from a stalled pilot.

AI Agent Engineer
Seniority
5+ years, 1+ years specifically on production agent systems
Background
Multi-step agent workflows, human-in-the-loop design, guardrails, and integration into CRM/ERP/ticketing systems

Questions

Asked on every first call.

Agent systems fail differently from ordinary backend systems — on permissioning, escalation design and guardrails rather than on code quality alone. An AI agent engineer owns that specific discipline: deciding what the agent may do unsupervised, where a human gate belongs, and how the workflow behaves when a step fails rather than when it succeeds.

Yes, and that is the default. A staff-augmentation AI agent engineer works inside your codebase, your process and your standups, not in a separate vendor environment.

An AI agent engineer typically starts within one to two weeks of the intro call. We match from an existing bench rather than opening a cold hiring pipeline, so the limiting factor is usually your onboarding and access paperwork rather than our recruiting.

Every AI agent engineer placement carries a two-week replacement guarantee, with no argument and no fee for the swap. We would rather replace someone in week two than have you carry a bad fit for a quarter.

No. An AI agent engineer is engaged day-rate or monthly, month-to-month after a four-week minimum. No tiers, no bundled products, no notice period designed to trap you.

You do, from the first commit. An AI agent engineer works in your repositories under your version control, and all work product assigns to you — agent and tool-definition code, guardrail and evaluation suites, and documentation. The IP assignment is signed before anyone is given repository access, not negotiated at handover.

How to start

One call. Then a name, not a pipeline.
