How Hiring a Dedicated AI Team Architect Works
From the requirements call to a documented system design. Here is how we vet, match and onboard every AI team architect we place.
Vetting, matching and onboarding, in that order
Every architect is tested on real system design
Before an architect joins our bench, they are tested on data pipeline design and model serving tradeoffs, and a hands-on task designing a system for a stated scale and budget.
- Data pipeline and storage design.
- Model serving and cost tradeoff analysis.
- A real system design task.
You get a shortlist, not a resume pile
We match architects to your specific product: the domain, your expected scale, and the timezone overlap that works for your team. You see 2 to 3 fitting profiles, not fifty.
- Matched to your product domain.
- Matched to your expected scale.
- Matched to your working hours.
A structured start, then you take the lead
The architect reviews your requirements and documents the initial design, agreeing priorities with you and, if needed, bringing on the rest of the AI team in the first week.
- A documented data, model and serving design.
- Agreed priorities for the first sprint.
- Direct day-to-day management by your team.
