- Available for embedded or fixed-scope agent engineering engagements.
Frequently asked questions
What separates a 'Claude agent engineer' from a general AI developer?
Agent engineering is specifically about orchestration, tool-call design, state and memory management, and handling multi-step failure modes — a narrower and deeper skill set than general LLM API integration.
Can this person work alongside our existing engineering team?
Yes — embedded engagements are common, working directly in your codebase and processes rather than as an isolated external team.
How do you evaluate whether a candidate is qualified?
We review production agent systems they've shipped — specifically how they handled tool failures, runaway loops, and memory drift — not just whether they've used an agent framework.
What's the risk of an agent engineer building something that behaves unpredictably?
Real, which is why scoped permissions, evaluation before launch, and staged rollout are standard practice, not optional add-ons, in every engagement.
What's the typical time to start?
1-2 weeks from scoping call to kickoff for most engagements.
