The right AI hire knows your system
in and out

Fintech industry overview illustration

We place AI and ML hires into teams that already have something live, so the bar is production work rather than potential. AI development and ML development both punish guesswork, and the damage shows up after release rather than in code review.

The first thing we screen for is evaluation, because an engineer who cannot build an eval set ships work nobody can prove is working.

They work your business hours. Deverr employs the hire in their own country and runs payroll, benefits and local compliance, while access to your data, prompts, weights and infrastructure stays yours to grant and to revoke.

AI engineers and ML engineers need
different skill sets

We place both, plus the staff who review what comes out, and our AI staffing solutions put two or three candidates in front of you per role rather than a long list.

Five things we check before
you meet anyone

Whether you hire LLM engineers for the application layer or an ML engineer for the model itself, the same five checks apply.

Screened on evals, not demos

Candidates walk us through an eval set they built and what it caught. Measuring quality by reading a few outputs does not clear the bar.

Customer support rep role illustration

Shipped under real traffic

Every hire is scored on AI or ML work that served live users, including what they changed once it was in front of them.

One person owns the number end to end illustration

One owner for your AI stack

Model choice, retrieval, evaluation and deployment sit with one engineer, instead of arriving feature by feature with nobody holding it.

Cost savings and freshness control illustration

Cost per request gets asked about

We ask what they did about token spend, caching, batching and model choice, and we expect a specific answer rather than an intention.

Your access our employment illustration

Your data, your access

You grant and revoke access to your data, prompts and weights on your own terms. Deverr holds a signed NDA with every hire and never holds your data.

From first call to first sprint in in 7 days

Four steps, and the second one is where AI hires differ from the rest.

  1. 1

    Book your free consultation

    Thirty minutes on the role, the seniority you need, and what the model actually does inside your product.

    We agree whether you are hiring for the application layer or the model layer, and what the hire may reach.

  3. 3

    Interview a scored shortlist

    Two or three candidates, each scored on production work close to yours, with their approach to evaluation already on record.

  4. 4

    Onboard inside your controls

    Your hire starts on your repos, pipelines and dashboards, with the access you granted, inside the current sprint.

We needed a senior full-stack developer fast. Deverr placed someone in under two weeks who was shipping code by day three. Six months later he's one of our core team members.

We couldn't be happier with the full-stack, AI, and WordPress developers Deverr found for us. They saved us a ton of time recruiting and brought in highly experienced developers who fit our culture perfectly, at a fraction of what we'd pay for U.S. developers of the same skill level. 5 stars, I can't recommend them enough.

Alvis.Care started as my garage project, built on Lovable, held together by vision and duct tape. Within a month of bringing on Deverr, they placed Allan as our lead engineer and our code was professionalized and stabilized. Allan took ownership of the team and gave me back time to sell the vision. If you built something real and need it to become a company, this is how you do it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently asked questions illustration
Have your AI engineers shipped LLM features to production, or only prototyped them?

Production. Candidates are scored on features that served real traffic and on the eval set they used to know it was holding up. A notebook demo does not clear that bar.

Can a nearshore AI development hire work with our model weights and customer data?

That is your call. You decide what the hire can reach and can revoke it at any point. Deverr holds a signed NDA with every hire and never holds your data.

Is AI staff augmentation different from hiring a contractor for a model build?

Yes. These are full-time employees on your team, so the person who built the feature is still there when it drifts, and the context does not leave with them.

Can we hire ML developers if we train our own models rather than calling an API?

Yes. Machine learning and MLOps candidates are scored on training, serving, monitoring and retraining, which is a different bench to the application-layer engineers.

How do you handle eval grading and annotation without a crowd platform?

With employed staff on your team, reviewing the same way each week. Consistency between graders is what makes an eval score trustworthy, and a rotating pool does not give you it.
