Hire a Developer / AI & Agentic Engineering

AI demos are easy. Production-grade AI systems are not.

Most agencies send you prompt engineers who can build a chatbot. We place AI Systems Engineers who architect RAG pipelines, optimize token economics, and ship autonomous agents that don't hallucinate in production.

SOUND FAMILIAR?

Why most "AI hires" fail after 3 months.

These are the problems teams run into when they try to build AI without the right specialist.

They know LangChain basics but can't handle concurrency, rate limits, or fallback logic.

No one monitored context window usage; your AWS bill tripled in week two.

They built it, but have no framework to measure if it's actually getting better.

AI costs are harder to predict than expected.

Tightly coupled to one model provider; migration takes months when APIs change.

They can build a demo, but struggle to turn it into a reliable, scalable production system.

A working AI demo and a production-ready AI feature are two different disciplines. We place developers who understand the difference.

Who This Is For

Built for teams ready to move from AI ideas to real products.

If you know AI can improve your product but need the right technical expertise to build it, this is for you.

Compliance-Sensitive Enterprises

You need audit trails, PII redaction, and deterministic outputs, not just "cool AI."

Scale-Ups Post-Prototype

Your MVP works, but latency is 4s and costs are $5k/mo. You need optimization, not new features.

Product-Led AI Companies

AI is your product. A bad hire doesn't just delay a feature; it churns out customers.

How We Fix It

We Vet for System Design, Not Just API Calls.

We test how developers design, build, evaluate, and scale AI systems in production.

Fixes: Choosing the wrong AI skill set

RAG Architecture That Actually Works

We test chunking, hybrid search, re-ranking, and retrieval strategies—not just vector database integration.

Fixes: Hallucinations and inconsistent answers

Evaluation That Measures Results

We test hands-on experience with RAGAS, TruLens, or custom datasets to measure AI quality.

Fixes: Lack of production AI experience

Production Observability

We test experience with LangSmith, Arize, tracing, and production debugging.

Fixes: Hard-to-debug AI failures

Cost Engineering

We test how developers use caching, model routing, and distillation to reduce inference costs.

Fixes: Unpredictable AI spending

Production-Ready Architecture

We test how developers handle concurrency, rate limits, fallbacks, model changes, and scaling.

Fixes: Risky AI launches

Evaluation Before Launch

We test how developers identify edge cases, failure modes, and quality issues before release.

Why CrecenTech

We’ve shipped the code we’re hiring you to write.

Unlike staffing agencies that rely on keyword matching, our vetting team consists of active AI practitioners. We review GitHub repos for architectural patterns, conduct live system design interviews focused on failure modes, and verify production deployments—not just LeetCode scores.

Generalist Freelancer
Typical hire
Scoping the Right AI Solution
– They build your requirements without always challenging the approach.
AI Reliability
– They may build a working demo without testing production edge cases.
Cost Management
– They may overlook long-term AI and infrastructure costs.
Time to Launch
– They can start fast, but technical depth varies.

Before You Ask

Questions we hear a lot.

How does CrecenTech vet AI developers differently? +

We verify production deployments via GitHub reviews and system design interviews focused on failure modes. Tutorial projects are disqualified. Only candidates with live AI infrastructure experience pass screening.

What if the AI developer isn’t a fit? +

We replace them at no cost within 90 days. A mandatory 2-week knowledge transfer overlap ensures zero downtime and complete documentation handoff before transition.

What’s the difference between an AI developer and ML engineer? +

AI developers build LLM apps, RAG systems, and agents. ML engineers focus on model training, fine-tuning, and data pipelines. We scope which role solves your actual bottleneck.

Can they integrate with our existing product stack? +

Yes. They harden existing codebases without rip-and-replace migrations. Full runbooks ensure your team retains operational control and understands all architecture decisions post-engagement.

Do candidates have production-scale AI experience? +

Yes. Vetting requires proof of handling real traffic, optimizing token costs at volume, implementing drift detection, and managing latency under load. Sandbox-only experience is disqualified.
