Common questions / 12

Ask a team lead
Two AI developers talking through a result on a laptop in a bright office.
01How do I hire AI developers for my team?

Hire AI developers to ship RAG, agents and evals that hold up in production. Embed one engineer in your team or add a generative AI squad. You interview the shortlist and choose who joins.

02What generative AI skills can we hire for?

AI architecture, retrieval-augmented generation, agents and tool use, LangChain and LangGraph, vector search, evals and guardrails, model routing, fine-tuning and self-hosted models.

03Do hired AI developers fine-tune, or use retrieval?

Retrieval first: it keeps answers current and citable. We fine-tune when evals show a smaller tuned model beats it on cost or quality.

04Which models do you work with?

Anthropic, Google, OpenAI, Mistral and open-weight models you host yourself. The router keeps you free to switch.

05How do you stop the model making things up?

Answers must cite retrieved sources, groundedness is scored on every run, and a release can’t ship below its threshold.

06Where does our data go?

Where you decide. We can keep embeddings in your own database and run open models inside your cloud account.

07Can we embed AI developers in our team or hire a pod?

Both. Add one AI developer through staff augmentation, or pair AI engineers with a dedicated delivery pod when you need features and release in the same team.

08What affects the cost of hiring AI developers?

Seniority, US workday overlap, and whether you hire one developer or a pod. The planner on this page uses a $90/hr onshore and $32/hr offshore planning rate, 160 hours a month. It is an estimate, not a JumpGrowth quote.

09Is this staff augmentation or a managed delivery team?

Both. Add one AI developer, a small team, or a full pod with its own lead.

10Can we start with one AI developer?

Yes. Most teams start with one AI developer in a clear gap and add people once the fit is proven.

11Can we interview AI developers before we choose?

Always. You see the profiles, run your own interviews and make the final call.

12Can we scale the team after the first AI developer starts?

Yes. Add people as the roadmap grows, or move from one AI developer to a managed pod with its own lead.
