Hire AI engineers who build with LLMs every day
An AI-native developer, or AI engineer, builds software on top of foundation models such as GPT, Claude, Gemini and Llama. They design prompts, retrieval (RAG), agents and tool use, evaluate model output, and ship reliable AI features into production. Offshore Employee places dedicated, technically vetted AI engineers in US and EU teams.
Skills we vet for
- Python and TypeScript
- LLM APIs and open-weight models
- RAG and vector databases (pgvector, Pinecone, Weaviate)
- Agent frameworks (LangGraph, LlamaIndex, MCP)
- Evals and observability (LangSmith, Langfuse)
- Fine-tuning (LoRA)
- Guardrails, AI security and data privacy
What AI engineers build
- AI copilots and assistants inside your product
- Document and knowledge search
- AI agents that take actions in your tools
- AI features inside existing SaaS products
- Evaluation pipelines that keep quality measurable
How we vet every AI-native developer
Technical ability first, CV second. You only meet people who have already shown they can do the work.
Our vetting process- Initial screening of English, communication and remote-work readiness
- Practical technical assessment, reviewed by a panel of senior engineers
- Technical interview with a lead architect or lead engineer on system design and past production work
- Reference checks with past managers and senior colleagues
Hiring a AI-native developer: questions, answered.
What is an AI-native developer?
A developer whose default toolkit includes foundation models. They design features around what LLMs can do, and use AI coding tools in their own workflow.
Do your AI engineers have production experience?
Yes. Every candidate has a technical interview with a lead architect or lead engineer that covers system design and the production work they have shipped, after a practical assessment reviewed by a panel of senior engineers.
Can an AI engineer work with my existing developers?
Yes. They join your team's sprints, code review and stand-ups like any other colleague.
