Tell us about your projectProblem
An AI roadmap shouldn’t wait for a hiring pipeline
AI roles sit open for months
AI, ML and data engineers are the hardest seats to fill. Roadmaps slip while the req ages.
Wrong-fit hires
Strong resumes don’t always translate into shipped features.
Freelancer overhead
Contractors in isolation need managing. Code built outside your workflow needs fixing.
Solution
No random CVs. A recruitment-grade bench.
Founded by an engineering recruiter with nine years of hunting senior engineers others couldn’t find. You interview every profile like your own candidate — not the strongest CV in your pipeline? Walk away.
Recruitment-grade vetting
Live technical evaluation, AI-literacy screen (RAG, evals, agents, ML pipelines), English & communication check — before you see a profile.
Product-first mindset
Built around your priorities, workflows, and release cycles.
Fast integration
Engineers contribute fast without disrupting your existing workflow — embedded in your team, or delivering end-to-end.
Decision
Choose how we work together
Dedicated Team
A structured 2–4 person team around your roadmap. We run delivery and own the outcome — end-to-end.
Best for:
Team Extension (staff augmentation)
Senior engineers directly in your team. Your process, your repo, your standup — you keep full ownership.
Best for:
Process
From intro call to first commit — in days, not months
Intro call
Your product, your bottleneck, your stack.
→ 25 minutes
Matched profiles
Two engineers matched to your stack — or a proposed team and delivery plan. You interview everyone like your own candidates.
→ 48 hours
Paid trial
Real work on your backlog. Stop any day. Keep the code.
→ 2 weeks
Embedded
First commit in your repo — whichever model you chose.
Proof
Built with a team like yours
Hand in Hand AI
“He wasn’t just implementing tasks — he saw the business problems, designed the architecture, and became part of the business.”
About the project
A senior engineer embedded into the founding team, owning delivery from architecture to production.
Our impact
Engagement model
Team Extension
Senior engineer embedded into the client’s team.
Philosophy
Trust is the product
Everything else — the code, the roadmap, the handoff — is just the evidence.
Trust
Transparent brief. One rate card. No hidden costs.
Confidence
Senior-only teams. No one learning on your bill.
Interest
Engineers who care about your product, not which sprint they’re in.
FAQ
The questions you’re already asking
What time zones do you cover?
Engineers work EET/CET — full overlap with UK/EU/Israel, 4+ hours daily with US East.
How does the trial work?
Two weeks, paid, on your real backlog. Stop any day; you keep all code and IP.
Who owns the IP?
You do, from the first commit. Contracts and NDAs under Cyprus (EU-aligned) jurisdiction.
What if the engineer isn’t a fit?
Replacement guarantee — we swap fast, at the same rate you signed.
What stacks do you cover?
We’re most knowledgeable in data engineering and backend — however, we understand hiring for all stacks and are able to provide the best candidates.
How fast can someone start?
Matched profiles within 48 hours of your request, interviews on your schedule, first commit around day 15 from signing.
