Hire Dedicated AI Developers: Engagement Models
Teams building AI products access DOIT's full network through three engagement models, each giving you control over scope, team composition, and how much of the process DOIT manages.
Staff Augmentation
The AI developer joins your team as an embedded contractor. You direct the work and collaborate day to day exactly as you would with a full-time hire. DOIT handles contracts, payroll, HR, onboarding, and ongoing developer retention, so none of that falls on your engineering team.
Developers are available full-time at 40 hrs/week or part-time at 20 hrs/week. Staff augmentation is the most common model for startups and growing product teams that want dedicated AI developers with flexibility built in.
Dedicated Development Team
For teams that need more than one developer, DOIT assembles a dedicated team matched to your product scope. The team can include AI developers, QA engineers, DevOps engineers, a technical lead, and other roles based on what your roadmap requires. You own the output and set the direction; DOIT manages team composition, HR, and admin operations.
Recruitment as a Service
DOIT also offers end-to-end permanent placement for AI developer roles through a separate service. Recruitment as a Service covers sourcing through to signed offer, with a flat fee that applies only after a successful hire and no upfront costs.
