Enterprise: Hire AI Developers Who Ship Production Outcomes

Your roadmap needs senior ML engineers, LLM architects, and AI Ops specialists, not a bench of generalists. When you hire AI developers for enterprise delivery, Redefine matches your team with production-grade AI developers in 48 hours, governance-ready from day one. Explore the AI Teams and Outsourcing Hub or AI consulting pricing before you brief us.

The challenge

What slows AI teams down

Most engineering organisations spend six months hiring one senior ML engineer. During that window, your competitors are shipping. The cost is not the salary. It is the quarters you lose to inaction.

The Redefine way
  • Team matched and briefed in 48 hours
    Pre-vetted senior engineers with production AI credentials, available to start immediately.
  • ML, LLM, and AI Ops specialists only
    Every developer on the bench has shipped production AI: model training, retrieval-augmented generation pipelines, or inference infrastructure.
  • Full IP transfer and documented handover on close
    Architecture diagrams, runbooks, and all code transferred to your repositories on engagement close.
  • Milestone-gated delivery with outcome service level agreements
    Sprint reviews every two weeks. No milestone hit, no next invoice raised.
The old way
  • 4 to 6 months to hire one senior ML engineer
    Sourcing, screening, and notice periods stack before any code is written.
  • Generic development shops with no AI specialisation
    Teams that call themselves AI-ready but have never shipped an LLM pipeline in production.
  • No governance or handover structure
    Contractors who leave with the code, context, and architecture in their heads.
  • Billing by the hour with no outcome accountability
    Scope creep with no milestone checkpoints or delivery service level agreements.

Three engagement models

Dedicated Team
Full sprint team embedded in your workflow. Fixed monthly scope with bi-weekly delivery checkpoints.
Best for: ongoing AI product development
Project-Based Sprint
Fixed scope, fixed price, fixed timeline. Defined deliverable from scoping call to shipped output.
Best for: minimum viable product and proof-of-concept builds
Staff Augmentation
One or two senior specialists integrated into your existing team. Time and materials, month-to-month.
Best for: specialist skill gaps

The problem

The platform required a comprehensive technical overhaul: usability barriers were limiting lead generation, conversion testing infrastructure did not exist, and the underlying architecture could not support enterprise-grade personalisation or accessibility requirements. The engineering scope covered headless commerce, ERP integration, ADA compliance, and A/B testing frameworks across a high-traffic storefront.

The result
$120M
annual revenue reached

A/B and multivariate testing identified high-performing layouts and calls to action. Navigation, accessibility, and user experience were rebuilt to reduce friction across every conversion path. Search engine optimisation improvements, personalised landing pages, and security hardening supported enterprise-scale transactions. The result: annual revenue scaled to over $120 million and the platform secured a leading competitive position in its category.

Common questions

Before you brief us

Straight answers on onboarding speed, seniority, IP, scaling, stack coverage, and pricing.

After your brief is submitted, the matched engineer or team is introduced within 48 hours. Repository access, sprint tooling, and communication channels are set up within the first 2 days. The first working sprint begins within 5 to 7 business days of sign-off, with Sprint 1 delivered within 14 days of the engagement start date.

The bench is weighted toward senior and principal engineers (5 or more years with production AI experience). Mid-level specialists are available for specific pipeline and data engineering work. There are no junior developers in client-facing roles. Every engineer has at least one shipped AI system in production before joining the bench.

You do. IP assignment is explicit in the engagement contract and takes effect from day one of the engagement. On close, you receive a full handover package: all code in your repositories, architecture diagrams, runbooks, environment configuration, and access credentials. Nothing leaves with the team.

Yes. Team composition is reviewed at each sprint boundary. If a sprint requires an additional specialist (a data engineer for a new pipeline, for example), they are added to the roster for that sprint. Scale-down works the same way: if a role is complete, the billing stops at the next sprint boundary, not at contract end.

Python is the primary language across ML, LLM, and data engineering work. Framework coverage includes PyTorch, JAX, Hugging Face Transformers, LangChain, LlamaIndex, FastAPI, and Ray. Orchestration covers Airflow, Prefect, and Dagster. Vector stores include Pinecone, Weaviate, Qdrant, and pgvector. Cloud deployment on AWS SageMaker, Google Vertex, and Azure ML. Model monitoring via MLflow and Weights and Biases.

Pricing is scoped before any work starts, with line-by-line sprint costing. Dedicated team engagements use a fixed monthly retainer per sprint cycle. Project-based engagements use a fixed-price scope with milestone billing. Staff augmentation uses a daily or monthly rate per specialist. See AI consulting pricing for reference ranges, or submit a brief for a scoped proposal within 3 days.

Fit check

Is this the right fit for you?

This is a fit if you are
  • A Chief Technology Officer or VP Engineering with a defined AI roadmap and no available senior engineers to staff it
  • A product team that needs LLM or ML capability without a full-time hire right now
  • A founder who needs to ship an AI proof of concept in 14 days, not 14 months
  • An engineering organisation that retains full IP and wants governance documentation on day one
This is not a fit if you need
  • Junior or offshore development at lowest possible daily rates
  • Pure data science research with no production delivery timeline
  • A body-shopping arrangement with no outcome accountability
  • An engagement where the partner, not you, retains the IP
