Start Hiring01What they do
The work this role actually takes on.
- 01Agent architecture: tools, memory, planning and control flow
- 02Tool definitions and the error handling around them
- 03Bounds and permissions so an agent cannot exceed its remit
- 04Traces and evaluation for behaviour that is non-deterministic by nature
02Tools & stack
What they work with.
- Python
- TypeScript
- LangGraph
- Model Context Protocol
- Anthropic & OpenAI APIs
- Vector databases
Indicative, not a checklist. We match on the stack you actually run. Tell us yours in the brief.
03How we vet
You only interview people we would hire ourselves.
Technical depth
A working interview on the substance of the role, not a quiz on syntax.
A live build
A work sample or build task, so the skill is demonstrated rather than described.
Communication
English fluency, and the ability to explain a decision to people who did not make it.
Identity & references
Verification and reference checks, so the person you interview is the person who starts.
04Common questions
AI Agent Developer, answered.
Are agents production-ready for our use case?
Sometimes. A good agent developer will tell you when a deterministic workflow would be cheaper and more reliable than an agent, and that answer is common.
How do you test something non-deterministic?
With evaluation sets, trace inspection and bounded permissions, rather than assertions on exact output. Ask candidates how they approach this.
How quickly can we start?
Most teams see an interview-ready shortlist within 48 hours to 3–5 business days, and finalise a hire within one to two weeks. The pace mostly comes down to how quickly you can review profiles and run interviews.
What does it cost?
Dedicated talent starts from $1,499/month per hire and scales with seniority and whether the role is part-time or full-time. Direct-hire placement is a one-time fee from 15% of first-year salary. Both are quoted in writing before you commit, with no upfront cost and no setup fee.
What if the hire is not right?
Dedicated hires carry a two-week risk-free trial and a free replacement within 90 days. Direct-hire placements carry a replacement window of 60 to 180 days depending on seniority. The full terms are on our Refund Policy page.
