Overview
An AI developer designs, trains, and integrates artificial intelligence systems, from machine learning models to LLM-based applications, into real business workflows. They're not the same as a general software developer; the role demands fluency in data pipelines, model behaviour, and how AI outputs hold up in production, not just in a notebook.
Sphinx Solutions AI developers are certified engineers with hands-on delivery experience across machine learning, generative AI, natural language processing, and computer vision. They work as an extension of your team, attending your standups, using your tools, and reporting to your product owner, rather than operating as a disconnected outsourced vendor.
Businesses hire dedicated AI developers instead of building an in-house team for four practical reasons.
Skip a two- to six-month AI hiring cycle and start within days.
Avoid full-time payroll, benefits, and recruiter fees for a skill set that is expensive to source directly.
LLM engineering, RAG pipelines, and agentic AI are still hard to hire for locally.
Scale the engagement up, down, or down to zero as your roadmap changes.
