++AI engineers and developers
Not every AI question needs the same kind of engineer. Sometimes you need someone to build AI into your product, sometimes someone to connect systems and automate work, and sometimes someone to make the data and infrastructure dependable first. tre plus helps you add the right engineer to the team you already have.
We start with the problem you want to solve and choose the role after that. The engineer works inside your team, while we handle selection, employment and local support from our own office in Prishtina.
You speak with Rens directly, usually within one working day.
++Choosing a role
The titles look alike, the work does not. This is how we tell the four roles apart when we look for a profile.
In practice one team sometimes needs a combination. Not sure? Describe the work in plain words and we will tell you which profile fits.
++tre plus analysis
AI can speed up routine development work. It does not take over product decisions, integration, review, security, maintenance or responsibility in production.
So the bottleneck moves away from simply producing code, towards deciding what to build and checking that it works reliably. This is how we read what we see in practice, not an independently measured market fact.
In the teams we talk to, this usually means:

++Market data
110 + 110
AI and Data roles in September 2026
In the tre plus vacancy monitor for September 2026, 110 of the 1,123 developer roles we monitored fell into the AI category and 110 into Data. Together that is 19.6% of this snapshot.
++The collaboration
You add capacity to your own team. Direction stays with you.
Our public role and skill categories include AI, data and engineering profiles with Python, SQL, APIs and cloud. What a specific profile brings, we discuss per role.
++How it works
The same steps for every AI role, with a profile shaped around your work.
01
We go through the problem in front of you, the systems involved and who is technically close to it. That gives us the role and the level.
02
You usually receive matching profiles within seven working days. We check engineering, English and collaboration first.
03
You speak with people yourself and pick the format: a conversation, a technical session or reviewing real work together.
04
Once you choose, we handle contract, equipment and workplace. Within two to four weeks work from your backlog is picked up.
05
We remain the employer and support the engineer locally. You lead the work inside your own team.
Lead time depends on the profile and on how quickly the interviews get scheduled on your side.
++Pricing
From junior developer to tech lead. The monthly price follows the profile, the seniority and the technology you need.
