When to hire an AI tech lead
- Your first AI project needs a clear architecture
- Your AI team is growing past three engineers
- Prototypes aren't reaching production

How you can engage an AI lead
A dedicated full-time lead, a fractional (part-time) AI lead, or a lead hired together with the team they will run.
How we vet every AI tech lead
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

Hiring a AI tech lead: questions, answered.
AI tech lead or AI architect?
A tech lead leads people and delivery; an architect focuses on system design. Smaller teams usually need one person who does both.
