Specialist AI engineering roles

Different AI projects call for different engineering strengths. We help employers define the capabilities that matter before starting a permanent recruitment search.

Applied AI & LLM Engineers

Building applications that connect models with product workflows, APIs, evaluation processes and production systems.

RAG & Retrieval Engineers

Designing knowledge retrieval, search quality, access controls, grounded answers and measurable evaluation.

Generative AI & Agent Engineers

Creating reliable AI-enabled features and task-oriented agent workflows with suitable testing, observability and safeguards.

Senior AI Engineers & Technical Leads

Taking ownership of architecture, engineering standards, operational reliability and technical decision-making.

What should you assess when hiring an LLM engineer?

A promising prototype does not always indicate the ability to deliver a reliable production feature. For an evidence-led interview, consider whether the candidate can explain:

Problem definition: the business task, users and measurable criteria for success.
Retrieval and model selection: when to use RAG, fine-tuning, tool use or simpler approaches.
Evaluation: how they test accuracy, groundedness, failure cases and regression over time.
Data protection and security: permissions, sensitive information and prompt-injection risks.
Operational delivery: latency, cost, monitoring, deployment and incident response.
Product collaboration: how they work with engineering, design and business stakeholders.

These are discussion points, not a one-size-fits-all checklist. The relevant evidence depends on your particular system and team.

What to include in your AI hiring brief

Before approaching candidates, identify the problem you need the hire to solve. That makes it easier to distinguish a specialist in LLM experimentation from someone experienced in deployment and maintenance.

Role title and seniority
Application or system being built
Essential versus desirable technical skills
Remote working geography and time zones
Permanent salary range and start date
Interview stages and decision-maker
