Contract-Based AI Developers for Short-Term Projects
Top-Tier AI Engineers Ready to Deploy
Build Smarter. Scale Faster. Hire AI Engineers Who Can Actually Execute.
Get results, not overhead. Thinkteks connects you with contract-based AI developers who deliver fast, high-impact outcomes on short timelines.
Not every AI need requires a permanent hire. Sometimes, you just need a specialist to get in, solve the problem, ship the model, or integrate the intelligence; then hand it off cleanly. At Thinkteks, we specialize in placing senior-level AI developers on a contract basis, tailored for short-term, outcome-driven projects.
Whether you’re deploying a prototype, exploring a new use case, or filling a resource gap in your ML pipeline, our network of contractors can deliver fast without compromising technical depth or production readiness.
Why Companies Use Contract AI Developers
Hiring full-time talent takes time. Training internal teams adds overhead. When you need results in weeks—not quarters—a contract AI developer is the most efficient path forward.
Common short-term use cases include:
Prototyping a proof-of-concept with real data
Building and deploying a single-model system (e.g. churn prediction, object detection)
Integrating LLM features into a legacy or in-house platform
Developing internal tools powered by NLP or computer vision
Running evaluations or fine-tuning for time-bound research projects
Preparing AI components for VC demos, pilots, or client delivery
We provide AI professionals who are already trained on the tools, libraries, and deployment strategies you need—without the long onboarding curve.
Our Contract Developers Specialize In:
1. Machine Learning & Model Development
Regression, classification, anomaly detection, clustering
Tree-based models, ensemble methods, time-series forecasting
Model training using TensorFlow, PyTorch, XGBoost, Scikit-learn
Experimentation frameworks like MLflow or Weights & Biases
2. Generative AI and LLM Implementation
Prompt engineering and fine-tuning for GPT-4, Claude, and open models
LangChain and LangGraph agent development
RAG stack design using Pinecone, Weaviate, Chroma
Model hosting with vLLM or Hugging Face Accelerate
3. Real-Time & Embedded AI
Integration with backend APIs and microservices
Deployment via Docker, FastAPI, and Kubernetes
Streaming pipelines with Kafka, Spark, or GCP Dataflow
Lightweight inference for edge or mobile AI use cases
4. Business-Driven Delivery
