Hire Forward Deployed AI Engineers

An agentic AI developer designs and builds autonomous agents that plan, call tools, retrieve data, and complete multi-step tasks inside your systems. The role combines agent logic, large language model integration, backend engineering, and evaluation, so agents behave predictably in production environments.

Machine learning engineers and data scientists focus on training, tuning, and evaluating models. AI agent developers build the system around the model: agent logic, tool calling, memory, orchestration, and integrations. Strong teams combine both, and we add ML engineers when your project needs model work.

Look for hands on experience shipping agents to production, plus technical skills in Python or TypeScript, agent frameworks, tool calling, vector databases, REST APIs, and cloud platforms. A computer science foundation, testing discipline, and security awareness matter as much as model knowledge. We can help hiring managers draft the job description or scope the role.

Every developer completes a technical assessment covering agent design, tool calling, retrieval, and failure handling, followed by a review of delivered work and a communication check. Only vetted AI agent developers reach your shortlist, and you interview them before anyone starts.

Staff augmentation developers can typically start within 1 to 2 weeks of confirmation. Dedicated teams and project engagements depend on team size and scope, and we confirm the timeline in your first meeting.

Yes. We match developers to your working hours so standups, reviews, and decisions happen in real time. Overlap across time zones is agreed during matching and recorded in your engagement plan.

Our developers build with the OpenAI Agents SDK, LangGraph, LangChain, CrewAI, AutoGen, and LlamaIndex, and work with OpenAI, Claude, and Gemini models. We select the combination based on your infrastructure, data, and governance needs, and we design for portability so you can change models later.

We test edge cases and adversarial inputs before release, validate outputs, add human approval for high-impact actions, and log every action for audit. After launch, we monitor behavior, cost, and task success so problems surface early.

Yes. Alongside agent development, TechAhead builds native and cross-platform mobile and web apps, so one team can own the agent, the backend, and the user experience.

Every engagement runs under a standard NDA and IP assignment, so the work product belongs to you. Developers can work inside your repositories and environments when you prefer.

Cost depends on seniority, team size, engagement model, and integration complexity. Staff augmentation is priced per developer, dedicated teams per pod, and projects against a fixed scope. The cost to hire agentic AI developers ranges from $25,000 to $300,000+ depending on project complexity. Mid-to-senior AI agent developers command $155,000 to $265,000 annually. Book a meeting for a scoped estimate.

Yes. Staff augmentation and dedicated team engagements can grow or shrink as your roadmap changes, with terms agreed in your contract.
