Hire LLM Engineers | TeamStation AI
LLM Engineers are the architects of modern AI applications. They bridge the gap between powerful Large Language Models and real-world business problems, designing and building systems that can reason, generate, and interact. We provide elite engineers vetted for their expertise in model integration, prompt engineering, and building robust RAG pipelines.
The Problem
Moving from a proof-of-concept in a notebook to a scalable, reliable production service is a massive engineering challenge. Prototypes often lack the necessary error handling, scalability, and observability required for real-world use.
The TeamStation AI Solution
Our LLM Engineers are production-focused. We vet their ability to build robust, scalable services around LLMs, using modern MLOps principles. They build systems with proper logging, monitoring, and automated evaluation to ensure reliability and performance at scale.
The Problem
Teams often rely on trial and error to create prompts, leading to inconsistent model behavior and unreliable outputs. This makes it impossible to build a predictable application.
The TeamStation AI Solution
Our engineers apply a systematic approach to prompt engineering. They are experts in techniques like chain-of-thought, few-shot prompting, and structured output formats (e.g., JSON) to create robust and reliable prompts that guide the model effectively.
How We Measure Seniority: From L1 to L4 Certified Expert
We don't just match keywords; we measure cognitive ability. Our Axiom Cortex™ engine evaluates every candidate against a 44-point psychometric and technical framework to precisely map their seniority and predict their success on your team. This data-driven approach allows for transparent, value-based pricing.
