How Hiring a Dedicated RAG Developer Works
From the requirements call to a cited answer in production. Here is how we vet, match and onboard every RAG developer we place.
Vetting, matching and onboarding, in that order
Every developer is tested on real retrieval builds
Before a developer joins our bench, they are tested on chunking and indexing strategy, retrieval quality, and a hands-on task building a pipeline that answers questions from a real document set with citations.
- Chunking and indexing strategy.
- Retrieval quality tuning.
- A real cited-answer build task.
You get a shortlist, not a resume pile
We match developers to your specific content: the document types you have, the scale of your knowledge base, and the timezone overlap that works for your team. You see 2 to 3 fitting profiles, not fifty.
- Matched to your document types.
- Matched to the scale of your content.
- Matched to your working hours.
A structured start, then you take the lead
The developer reviews your document set, agrees the chunking and citation approach with you, and starts building the indexing pipeline in the first week. You manage priorities directly from there.
- A review of your document set.
- An agreed citation and grounding approach.
- Direct day-to-day management by your team.
