Hire Senior AI Engineers
Onboarding SLA: 48 Hours • Rate Band: $95 - $150 / hr
Hire pre-vetted senior AI engineers specializing in Retrieval-Augmented Generation, LangGraph state machine agents, and model quantization. Esaholic provides production-tested engineers who integrate directly into your GitHub and Slack workflows with 48-hour onboarding and rate bands from $95 to $150 per hour.
What a Senior AI Engineer Delivers
Designing HNSW vector indices, hybrid dense-sparse retrieval (BM25 + RRF), and Cohere reranker pipelines in PostgreSQL pgvector or Pinecone.
Building deterministic LangGraph state graphs with PostgresSaver checkpointers, MCP server connectors, and Human-in-the-Loop interrupt gates.
Skills That Matter vs. Generic Job Ads
