What you get on the first day
A working system, not a job post
Most remote hiring starts with a search. Ours starts with a system we have already shipped for other companies. We set it up on your data in hours, so your company brain is live before the first sprint.
An engineer who stays on your team
A senior AI engineer joins your standups, takes tickets from your backlog and pushes to your repo. They stay for the length of the partnership. We don't scope projects. We work as your ongoing AI partner.
Remote and nearshore, with US-overlapping hours
Our engineers work remotely and nearshore, in hours that overlap with US time. We are a partner, and the engineer stays on your team. You get a 90-day replacement guarantee at no extra cost, and you can cancel anytime.

Questions
What are the best platforms to hire remote AI engineers?
Freelance marketplaces, recruiters and direct placement all work, for different jobs. Marketplaces suit short tasks. Recruiters suit a shortlist you interview yourself. We suit teams that want a working AI system and an engineer who stays. The table above compares them.
Can I hire offshore AI developers quickly?
We are not an offshore company. Our engineers work remotely and nearshore, in hours that overlap with US time. The fast part is the system, which we set up in hours. We confirm your engineer's start date on the first call.
How does hiring remote AI engineers with AY work?
Book a call and tell us your stack and the gap. We match an engineer from our own bench. They join your standups, take tickets and push to your repo. It is an ongoing partnership from $3K a month.
Which remote AI engineer hiring companies work well for US teams?
Check four things: hours that overlap with the US, a replacement guarantee, recruitment fees and how you stop. We offer US-overlapping hours, a 90-day replacement guarantee at no extra cost, no recruitment fee and cancel anytime.
Are your remote AI engineers vetted, and what if one is not a fit?
Our engineers come from our own bench, not an open marketplace. If the fit is wrong in the first 90 days, we replace the engineer at no extra cost. You can also cancel anytime.
How can I hire experienced AI engineers quickly?
Start with the system. A proven AI system is running in your company within hours of setup, so work begins on day one. Then an engineer from our bench joins your team to run and extend it.
