Hire Generative AI Specialists Who’ve Shipped Production AI Products

Every company is building a generative AI feature. Most will ship a demo. Few will ship a reliable, scalable, production product that users trust. The generative AI specialists you need have already navigated that gap — building image generation pipelines for Fortune 500 media companies, AI content engines for high-growth SaaS platforms, and code generation tools for enterprise developer teams.

We match you with senior GenAI specialists who understand the full stack: fine-tuning diffusion models, building production inference APIs, implementing safety and moderation layers, and measuring the quality of generative outputs systematically — not just eyeballing samples.

Start in days, not months. Pay 50% less than equivalent US-based GenAI talent.

What Our Generative AI Specialists Build

Image & Video Generation Pipelines

Stable Diffusion fine-tuning and LoRA/DreamBooth customization for branded image generation. Sora-style text-to-video pipelines. ControlNet-based layout-consistent generation. Production inference APIs handling thousands of image requests per hour.

AI Content & Copywriting Engines

LLM-powered content generation systems with brand voice consistency, factual grounding, tone controls, and human-in-the-loop review workflows. Built for high-volume content operations, not one-off demos.

Code Generation & Developer Tools

GitHub Copilot-style code completion systems, AI-powered code review tools, test generation pipelines, and documentation generation systems — built on fine-tuned Code Llama, DeepSeek Coder, or OpenAI Codex models.

Multimodal AI Applications

Vision-language model (VLM) applications using GPT-4V, LLaVA, and Gemini Pro Vision. Image captioning pipelines, visual question answering, and multimodal search systems.

Synthetic Data Generation

Generative pipelines for augmenting rare event datasets, privacy-preserving synthetic tabular data (using GANs and diffusion), and synthetic training data for downstream ML tasks.

Generative AI Technology Stack

LLM APIs: OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, Cohere, Mistral, Together AI

Image Generation: Stable Diffusion (SDXL, SD3), DALL-E 3, Midjourney API, Flux

Fine-tuning: LoRA, DreamBooth, Textual Inversion, RLHF, DPO, Axolotl, Kohya

Video Generation: Stable Video Diffusion, Sora API, Runway Gen-3, Pika

Inference: Replicate, Modal, Banana, ComfyUI, A1111, vLLM, TGI

Safety & Evaluation: Llama Guard, OpenAI Moderation, custom NSFW classifiers, CLIP-based scoring

Client Success Story: AI Design Platform — 400% Increase in User-Generated Assets

A Series B creative platform serving 200,000 SMB users wanted to embed AI image generation directly into its design workflow. Our GenAI specialists built a Stable Diffusion SDXL inference API with LoRA fine-tuning infrastructure that let users train brand-specific models on 10–20 reference images in under 3 minutes. A ControlNet-based layout consistency layer ensured generated images adhered to existing design grids. User-generated assets increased 400% in the 60 days post-launch. The AI feature drove a 28% increase in paid plan conversions.

Client Success Story: Enterprise Content Engine — $2.3M Savings in Content Production

A global financial services firm was spending $4M annually on external copywriting for product documentation, email campaigns, and regional market reports. Our GenAI team built a brand-voice-locked content engine using a fine-tuned Llama 3 70B model with a retrieval layer over the firm’s style guides, regulatory constraints, and approved terminology databases. A human-in-the-loop review workflow flagged outputs below a confidence threshold. Content production costs dropped by $2.3M annually. Compliance violations in AI-generated content: zero in 18 months of production operation.

Why Companies Choose Our GenAI Specialists

  • Full-stack GenAI: Model fine-tuning, inference infrastructure, safety layers, and quality evaluation — not just API calls
  • Production experience: They’ve shipped to real users and handled the reliability, latency, and moderation challenges that come with it
  • Quality measurement: They build systematic evaluation pipelines — not just subjective “it looks good”
  • 50% cost savings: Senior GenAI expertise at a fraction of US market rates
  • Fast start: Most engagements begin within 1–2 weeks

Engagement Models

  • Individual GenAI Specialist — One senior generative AI engineer embedded in your team. Ideal for adding image generation, content engine, or multimodal capability.
  • GenAI Application Pods (2–4 engineers) — GenAI specialist paired with backend and MLOps engineers. Common for teams launching new AI-native products.
  • Full GenAI Teams (5–15+ engineers) — Complete squads for AI platform builds including fine-tuning infrastructure, inference scaling, and safety systems.
  • Contract-to-Hire — Evaluate real output before committing long-term.

How To Vet Generative AI Specialists

Our vetting identifies engineers who understand generative model behavior — not just people who know how to call the Stable Diffusion API.

  1. Technical screening — Diffusion model architecture (denoising, noise schedules, guidance), LLM sampling (temperature, top-p, top-k), fine-tuning methods (LoRA, full fine-tuning, RLHF), and production challenges (latency, cost per inference, safety). Over 90% of applicants do not pass this stage.
  2. System design challenge — Design a production image generation pipeline for a specific use case. Evaluated on quality/cost/latency trade-offs, safety architecture, and monitoring strategy.
  3. Live evaluation session — Given sample generative outputs, assess quality, identify failure modes, and propose improvements. Evaluated on systematic thinking, not subjective opinion.
  4. Communication screening — Explaining generative AI capabilities and limitations to product teams and executives. We assess this explicitly.

What to Look for When Hiring Generative AI Specialists

Strong GenAI specialists measure quality systematically — they don’t just eyeball samples.

What strong candidates demonstrate:

  • They discuss quality evaluation frameworks: FID scores, CLIP scores, human preference benchmarks, and domain-specific metrics
  • They’ve implemented safety and moderation layers — NSFW classifiers, prompt injection detection, output filtering
  • They understand inference economics: cost per image/token, batch size optimization, caching strategies
  • They’ve fine-tuned generative models — they know the difference between LoRA and full fine-tuning and when each is appropriate

Red flags to watch for:

  • Equates “generative AI engineering” with calling the OpenAI API — no understanding of model internals or fine-tuning
  • No systematic quality evaluation approach — relies on “it looks good to me”
  • No experience with safety, moderation, or content policy enforcement
  • Has never deployed a generative model to production or managed inference infrastructure

Interview questions that reveal real depth:

  • “How do you evaluate the quality of generated images systematically? Walk me through the metrics and human evaluation pipeline you’d set up.”
  • “A user is generating images that bypass your content filters 5% of the time. Walk me through your approach to closing that gap.”
  • “When would you fine-tune a generative model versus prompting a foundation model? What data and infrastructure requirements change your decision?”

Frequently Asked Questions

Do your GenAI specialists work with both image and text generation?
Yes. Most of our GenAI specialists have experience across modalities — LLM-based text generation, image generation with Stable Diffusion and DALL-E, and multimodal systems. We’ll match you with engineers whose specialization aligns with your primary use case.
Can your specialists fine-tune models on our proprietary data?
Yes. Fine-tuning on proprietary brand assets, writing style, and domain content is one of our most common GenAI engagements. Our engineers design private fine-tuning pipelines that keep your data within your infrastructure.
Do your GenAI engineers have experience with safety and content moderation?
Yes. Production safety systems — NSFW classification, prompt injection detection, output filtering, Llama Guard integration — are part of our GenAI vetting criteria. We don’t place engineers who’ve only built demos without safety considerations.
How quickly can a generative AI specialist start?
Most GenAI specialists can begin within 1–2 weeks. You interview and approve every candidate before any engagement starts.
