    NDA and code ownership handed to you.

Tools we use: React, Next.js, Node.js, Laravel, Python.

Skills

What a good AI/ML developer brings

Start with the business problem. A good developer agrees how success will be measured on real examples before choosing a model; that measure might be accuracy, time saved or the error rate.

  • Model choiceAssess whether a large language model API, a model trained on your own data or straightforward rules suit the task.
  • Data preparationClean and label examples, separate training and test data correctly, and check for bias and leakage between the sets.
  • Document answersSplit source documents, create embeddings, store them in a vector database and pass relevant passages to a model with citations.
  • Production monitoringTrack quality, response time, usage and drift as the data your product encounters changes.
  • Data privacyDecide what goes to a model provider, what is stored, who reads logs and whether a self-hosted model is safer.

Use cases

What you can hire AI/ML developers for

AI suits repeated decisions or documents when an occasional error is acceptable or a person can catch it. The task should have a clear outcome and examples that let you check the work.

A developer could extract fields from invoices, forms or contracts and route them into your business systems. Classification and prediction models also support work such as demand forecasting, fraud flags and support ticket routing.

For multi-step tasks, an AI agent can call tools and APIs, with limits, logs and approval steps for consequential actions. Keep exact calculations and access rules in ordinary code: those tasks need a predictable answer every time.

How hiring works

How hiring works with us

You work with developers who already contribute to our client projects, with a lead who reviews code and keeps the work on track. They are not freelancers sourced for your brief.

  1. 01

    Choose capacity

    Hire full time, part time or for a fixed number of hours a month, according to the work you want to assign.

  2. 02

    Join your workflow

    Developers work in your repository, tickets and stand-ups. We agree the hours of overlap before work starts.

  3. 03

    Set up access

    Give each developer an individual account with only the permissions needed. Start in staging and add production access after the review process is in place.

  4. 04

    Walk through the system

    Share the architecture, coding standards, branching and release process, plus instructions for running the project locally. Record gaps as they come up.

  5. 05

    Start with real work

    Plan an environment setup, a product and code walkthrough, and a small task that touches the main parts of the system.

Time zones

Working hours between Canada and India

In winter, India is 9h ahead of Newfoundland and 12h30m ahead of British Columbia and Yukon. Newfoundland, Atlantic and Eastern Time move 1 hour closer during daylight saving time.

Agree a fixed overlap window for stand-ups and quick questions, and keep it free of other meetings on both sides. Written end-of-day updates give you progress, blockers and next steps to review at the start of your day.

Put acceptance criteria, screenshots and links in each ticket. That reduces back-and-forth across time zones and gives developers something concrete to work from.

Rules

What an AI project in Canada has to handle

If your feature sends personal information abroad for processing, people need clear information about foreign processing and possible access by that country’s law enforcement and national security authorities. We set up a notice that explains those points in language your users can understand.

If personal information is communicated outside Québec, your business must conduct a privacy impact assessment and have a written contract with the recipient. We map the information the feature sends so you can assess the transfer and put the agreed protections into the build.

Vetting

How to judge an AI/ML developer before you commit

  • Ask how they would decide the feature is ready to launch. Look for a test set, a metric and a pass mark agreed with you.
  • Commission a small paid prototype using a sample of your data. Ask for a short report on accuracy, failure cases and possible improvements.
  • Ask about a feature or model that did not work. Listen for a clear account of data problems, unsuitable metrics and ideas the developer dropped.
  • Ask how an external model API would be used with customer data. Look for data minimisation, provider settings, access controls and a logging policy.

Checklist

What to have ready before developers start

A little preparation gives a developer real work to start and a clear route to approval.

  • Rank the backlog or describe the first tasks, so the developer knows what to pick up.
  • Name the skills and seniority needed, including any framework or legacy system experience.
  • Set out your working hours, the overlap you need and who will answer questions.
  • Define donestate the review rules, expected tests, deployment process and who approves work.

Cost & time

What affects the cost of hiring AI/ML developers

The plan depends on the experience and support your work calls for, as well as the condition of the codebase.

  • Seniority

    Experienced developers need less supervision, while junior developers suit well-defined tasks with close review.

  • Working-hour overlap

    Covering more of your working day shapes who is available and how the plan is arranged.

  • Specialist skills and codebase

    Niche frameworks, legacy systems and missing documentation narrow the available pool and make onboarding slower.

  • Management

    The plan changes according to whether a lead plans work and reviews code or you manage the developer directly.

Questions

Asked by businesses in Canada

Page updated 5 November 2026

How much does it cost to hire an AI/ML developer?

There is no fixed price. The amount of development capacity you need and the choice between a hosted model API and hosting a model yourself shape the work. Strict privacy needs or a narrow specialist task can affect that choice. We send a free quote once the scope is agreed.

How do I hire remote AI/ML developers for an existing product?

Start with a small proof of concept if you do not yet have relevant data or a clear measure of success. We can then fit into your existing repositories, tools and review process, so your developers and ours have a shared way to put changes through review.

Should I hire directly or work with a studio?

Direct hiring gives you more control but takes longer to set up. A studio usually takes on recruitment, payroll, equipment and cover for absence while you direct the work. Choose according to how much of that management you want to handle within your own business.

What is included in the development plan?

You get a shared backlog whose priorities you control, reviewed together regularly, plus progress updates and demos with direct access to the team. You can scale the plan up or down, or pause it as your needs change, so the capacity follows the work you have ready.

Who owns the code and project accounts?

You own your domain, content and code, with no lock-in. We provide an NDA and hand code ownership to you. Keep repositories, cloud accounts and third-party services under your organisation, and confirm the assignment of intellectual property in the contract before work proceeds.

Can you continue working on the product after launch?

Yes. Ongoing development covers features, fixes and improvements across your website and apps. Code reviews, tests and documentation are part of keeping that work maintainable, so changes have a review record and your team has material to refer to as the product develops.
