Hire AI and ML engineers
Model selection, fine-tuning, evaluation and serving. Our team runs open models with vLLM, Hugging Face and PyTorch in DataSwitch, a platform we built for a client.
Staff augmentation · India
Hire dedicated developers in India who already build with AI
Hire dedicated developers in India from Prilient Technologies, the team that builds our own AI products. Add one engineer or a full squad for AI, Laravel, Node.js, React or mobile work. They join your stand-ups, your tools and your repository.
- Based in Vaishali Nagar, Jaipur
- Monthly terms, 30-day exit
- NDA before day one
Why teams extend with us
Hiring is slow. Hiring for AI is slower.
Experienced AI engineers are hard to find and expensive to hire locally. Freelancers can leave mid-project. Agencies deliver a project, not people who learn your product.
A dedicated developer sits between the two. They work only on your product, follow your process and stay for the long run. Prilient handles hiring, payroll, equipment and replacement.
What makes our engineers different
- They come from the team that built our AI Agents Platform and VyapaarSense, and DataSwitch for a client.
- They know production AI: model serving with vLLM, agent hand-offs, WhatsApp and voice channels.
- They're backed by senior Prilient engineers, so your developer is never working alone.
Roles
Roles you can hire, from AI engineers to QA
Hire one role or combine several into a team. Each role draws on work we have shipped.
Hire LLM and agent engineers
Retrieval, tool calling, agent hand-offs and guardrails. The same skills behind our 6 production-ready AI agents.
Python and FastAPI developers
APIs, data pipelines and document processing services. DataSwitch's back end is FastAPI on PostgreSQL and Redis.
Hire Laravel developers
Admin-heavy business apps, portals and APIs in PHP and Laravel. Good for teams that need to ship business features quickly.
Node.js and NestJS developers
Typed, modular back ends and multi-tenant platforms. VyapaarSense's analytics APIs run on NestJS.
React and Next.js developers
Dashboards, SaaS front ends and marketing sites. Our own products use React, including React 19 with TypeScript.
React Native developers
One codebase for Android and iOS. UrbanCab, Brokers Together and Property Assist were built in React Native.
DevOps engineers
Docker, Nginx, SSL and CI/CD for multi-service stacks. They set up releases that run the same way every time.
QA engineers
Manual and automated testing across web and mobile. They test roles, permissions and AI outputs like any other feature.
Building with LLMs, RAG or AI agents? You can also hire AI developers who have shipped AI in production.
Engagement models
Three ways to hire dedicated developers in India
Every model gives you engineers who work only on your product.
Dedicated developer
One full-time engineer who works only on your product, in your tools and your hours. Billed monthly. Best for filling one skill gap.
Dedicated team
Developers, QA and a designer, with a project manager or tech lead included at no extra cost. Best for building a product or an offshore development team.
Part-time specialist
A senior AI, DevOps or architecture specialist for a set number of hours a month, from 40 hours per month. Best for reviews, audits and setting direction.
Monthly engagement, no long-term lock-in, 30-day exit clause.

Time zones
Working hours that overlap with the US, UK and UAE
Our team works from Jaipur on India Standard Time (GMT+5:30). Standard hours are 9 am–6 pm IST, Monday to Friday. Dedicated developers can shift their day to match yours.
| Your location | Time difference from IST | What overlap looks like |
|---|---|---|
| UAE (Dubai, Abu Dhabi) | IST is 1.5 hours ahead | A standard IST day covers 7:30 am–4:30 pm in the UAE, almost your full working day |
| UK (London) | IST is 4.5 hours ahead (summer), 5.5 (winter) | Our afternoon is your morning. Shifted schedules give at least 4 hours of live overlap with UK and European hours |
| US East Coast (New York) | IST is 9.5 hours ahead (summer), 10.5 (winter) | Developers move their day later for at least 4 hours of live overlap with US mornings |
We agree the overlap window and stand-up time in writing before day one. Work you hand over in the evening can be reviewed and moving by your next morning.

-
Share your brief
A 30-minute call about the role, your stack, time zone and how your team works. We confirm the fit before we send anyone.

Interview and choose
You interview the shortlisted engineers yourself, including a technical round if you want one. You only pay for the people you pick.
-

We sign the NDA, set up access to your tools and agree the overlap window. Your developer starts committing code within 1–2 weeks.
-
Review every week
Time tracking and a weekly progress report. A monthly check-in with a Prilient lead to catch issues early.
Vetting
How we vet every developer before you meet them
AI first-round screen
Our own HR Interview Screening Agent runs the first round, so our engineers spend their time on the strongest candidates.
Technical interview
A senior Prilient engineer tests depth in the role's core stack, from system design to debugging.
Practical task
A short, real-world task in the role's stack, reviewed like a pull request.
Communication check
Clear written and spoken English, and comfort with stand-ups, async updates and code reviews.
Built by us, used by us
We screen candidates with an AI agent we built
The HR Interview Screening Agent is one of the 6 agents in our AI Agents Platform. It handles first-round candidate screening for hiring and staffing. We use it in our own hiring.
The agent does the first pass. A senior engineer runs the technical interview, and a person makes every hiring decision.
The same agent is available to your HR team. It can hand off to our other agents, such as the Appointment Setter, to book interviews.

Your code, your IP, your access rules
NDA before day one
We sign your NDA, or ours, before you share code, data or roadmaps. Every developer on your account is bound by it.
IP assigned to you
Everything your developer writes for you belongs to you. The contract assigns IP to your company.
Access you control
Developers work in your repositories and tools, with the access you grant. You revoke it on the day an engagement ends.

FAQs
Questions about hiring dedicated developers
How quickly can I hire a dedicated developer?
We share interview-ready profiles within 48 hours for most roles. Onboarding takes 1–2 weeks. Specialised AI/ML and DevOps roles can take up to 3 weeks.
How much does it cost to hire a dedicated developer in India?
You pay one fixed monthly fee per developer, based on seniority and stack. It covers salary, equipment, office and management, with no hidden fees. Your monthly rate is quoted after a free 30-minute call.
Can I interview the developers before I hire them?
Yes. You interview every shortlisted engineer yourself and can run your own technical round. You only pay for the people you choose.
What happens if a developer isn't the right fit?
Tell us and we'll replace them within 1 week at no extra cost. Your Prilient tech lead hands over the work so you don't lose momentum.
Can your developers work US or UK hours?
Yes. A standard IST day already covers most of the UAE working day and UK mornings. You get at least 4 hours of live overlap with UK, European and US teams. For US teams, developers shift their day to make that work.
Do you have AI and LLM developers, or only web developers?
Both. Our engineers built our AI Agents Platform, and DataSwitch for a client, which serves open models with vLLM. You can hire AI/ML engineers, LLM and agent engineers, and Python/FastAPI developers.
Who owns the code, and how do you protect our IP?
You own everything your developer writes for you, and the contract assigns IP to your company. We sign an NDA before you share anything. Developers work only in the tools and repositories you give them access to.
Is there a minimum contract length?
Engagements are monthly, with a 30-day exit clause and no long-term lock-in.
