The role
What a Applied Scientist does for you.
Translates research into production-grade applied solutions.
It's a AI & ML Engineering role, and one of the scarcest profiles in that market — which is exactly why we built a vertical-deep bench instead of a generic staffing desk. We submit people who have actually done the work.

Questions
Hiring AI & ML Engineering talent, answered.
Do you place LLM and agentic-AI specialists?
Yes — LLM fine-tuning, RAG, and agentic-system engineers are our highest-demand AI roles, commanding the largest rate premiums.
Research scientists or engineers?
Mostly engineers who put models into production. We can source applied scientists, but the bottleneck (and our focus) is shipping.
Can you build the AI, not just staff it?
Yes — our Delivery Teams take custom AI builds end to end and own the outcome.
