++AI engineers and developers
Hire AI engineers and developers from Kosovo
AI sits on almost every roadmap, but the roles around it blur together. One team needs someone to connect systems and automate manual work, another needs AI inside their product, and a third needs the data underneath to be dependable.
We provide those people as a permanent developer inside your team: Dutch-led from our own office in Prishtina, with one clear monthly price per level. This page shows which role fits which kind of work.
You speak with Rens directly, usually within one working day.
++The roles side by side
Four AI roles that often get mixed up
The titles look alike, the work does not. This is how we separate them when we look for a profile.
AI Automation & Data Engineer
Connects systems, makes dataflows dependable and automates recurring manual work. Works with Python, SQL, APIs, webhooks and tools like n8n. AI comes in where it demonstrably solves something.
AI software engineer or AI developer
Builds features in your product where AI plays a part: search, an assistant, a piece of processing. At heart this is software engineering, with AI as one part of the solution.
Applied AI or LLM engineer
Works with existing models and language models: prompts, context, evaluation and the link to your own data. Not model research, but applying what already exists.
AI and data engineer for data flows
Makes sure the data under an AI feature is correct and arrives on time: opening up sources, cleaning, checking and making it usable.
In practice one team often needs a combination. That is why we start from the work that keeps getting stuck, not from a job title.
++Which role fits
Which role fits your situation?
Four situations we hear often, with the role that fits them in practice.
Too much work happens by hand between systems
Data retyped from one tool into another, integrations that quietly stop, reports assembled again every month. That is an automation and data engineer.
You want to build AI into your own product
There is an idea for a feature in your application where AI plays a part. You need a developer who knows your stack and treats AI as part of the work, not as a separate project.
You need several people, not one
Frontend, backend and data at the same time, with someone holding the technical line. A dedicated team fits better than a single developer.
You mainly want to know the cost
You are comparing an in-house developer, a freelancer and nearshore. Start with how our monthly pricing works per level.
Torn between two roles? Describe the work in plain words. We will tell you which profile fits, and when it is better to wait.
++Why nearshore from Kosovo
Dutch-led, from our own office in Prishtina
What we handle and what stays with you.
What you get
- A permanent developer or team working inside your processes
- Work in your repository, your environment and your way of shipping
- One point of contact about the collaboration
- One fixed monthly fee per level, with no surprises
What it is not
- Not a consultancy track or an AI strategy document
- Not project outsourcing with an agreed scope and delivery responsibility on our side
- Not a platform or licence you buy from us
- Not a short engagement for a few weeks of work
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.
++Lead time
Profiles within seven days, contributing in two to four weeks
The same steps for every AI role, with a profile shaped around your work.
- 1
A conversation about the work
We go through the work in front of you, the systems involved and who is technically close to it. That gives us the role and the level.
- 2
Profiles within seven days
You usually receive matching profiles within seven days. We check engineering, English and collaboration first.
- 3
You run the interviews
You speak with people yourself and pick the format: a conversation, a technical session or reviewing real work together.
- 4
Start and onboarding
Once you choose, we handle contract, equipment and workplace. Within two to four weeks work from your backlog is picked up.
Lead time depends on the profile and on how quickly the interviews get scheduled on your side.
++Pricing
The right profile. One clear monthly price.
From junior developer to tech lead. The monthly price follows the profile, the seniority and the technology you need.
