Hiring AI talent in 2025 is broken.

A senior AI/ML engineer in the US averages $40/hour. A mid-level developer comfortable with N8N, Make, OpenAI, and a Postgres schema? Six figures, fully loaded — if you can find one. And if you can find one, you're waiting four months while they finish their notice period.

Meanwhile, your competitors are shipping AI agents this quarter. Your roadmap is bottlenecked on a single engineer. Your founder is debugging Zapier flows at 11pm.

There's a faster way.

THE AD SNIPPER MODEL

Pre-vetted AI engineers. Fully managed. Placed in 7 days.

We've built a bench of AI/ML engineers, automation specialists, and full-stack developers — already trained on the tools your team already uses. Pick the discipline, pick the seniority, and we'll match you with three candidates inside 72 hours.

CHOOSE YOUR ENGINEER

Four tiers. One pricing model.
Match the role to the work.

Not every AI project needs a $25/hr ML engineer. And a $15/hr automation specialist will run circles around your average freelancer. Here's how we tier our talent — and how to pick.

$15/hr Starting Tier
Best for: Founders and ops teams who need workflows automated, agents deployed, and tools connected — fast.
What they ship
  • N8N, Make, and Zapier flows built end-to-end
  • AI agents and chatbots on OpenAI, Claude, Vapi, Retell
  • Multi-step automations across CRM, email, Slack, sheets
  • API connections, webhooks, and trigger logic
  • Light Python scripting for custom glue code
Tooling fluency

Hire this role if

You're spending 10+ hours a week on manual ops, your stack is sprawling, and you need someone who can wire it together without writing a custom platform.

$20/hr Mid-Tier
Best for: Teams shipping AI-powered products — SaaS apps, mobile apps, embedded LLM features.
What they ship
  • Full-stack web apps (React, Next.js, Node, Python/FastAPI)
  • Mobile apps (React Native, Flutter)
  • Embedded LLM features — chat, search, summarization, RAG
  • API development, authentication, payments
  • Deployment on Vercel, AWS, GCP, Supabase
Tooling fluency

Hire this role if

You're building a product with AI inside it — not just automating around AI. You need someone who can architect, build, and deploy a real application.

$25/hr Senior Tier
Best for: Teams training, fine-tuning, or deploying custom models on proprietary data.
What they ship
  • Custom model training and fine-tuning (transformers, classical ML)
  • RAG pipelines and vector database architecture
  • Model deployment, monitoring, and MLOps
  • Computer vision, NLP, recommendation systems
  • Performance benchmarking and inference optimization

Off-the-shelf APIs aren't enough. You need a model trained on your data, deployed on your infrastructure, monitored in production.

$25/hr Senior Tier
Best for: Teams scoping complex AI initiatives — multi-system integrations, enterprise pilots, technical roadmaps.
What they ship
  • End-to-end architecture for AI-driven products and pipelines
  • Tool selection, vendor evaluation, technical roadmaps
  • Database schemas, security reviews, compliance alignment
  • Coordination across engineering, ops, and stakeholders
  • Documentation, technical specs, handoff packages

Questions you're probably asking.

Yes — at the appropriate tier. Our $25/hr ML engineers and Solutions Architects have 5+ years of experience training models, designing systems, and deploying to production. Our $15/hr Automation Specialists are sharp builders, not entry-level juniors. We tier the talent so you pay for the seniority you actually need.
Pakistan-based, with engineers who routinely work US (EST/PST), UK, and AU/NZ time zones. We confirm overlap during the discovery call.
14-day no-fee replacement window. Beyond that, we'll still replace them — we just ask for a 7-day handoff. We have not had a client request a third replacement in over two years.
Yes. Every engineer signs Ad Snipper's confidentiality agreement before placement. We're happy to sign your NDA on top.
You do. Full IP assignment is built into our contract structure (Ad Snipper ↔ engineer, Ad Snipper ↔ client). You receive all code, models, weights, and documentation.
Yes. They join your Slack, your GitHub, your Linear/Jira, your standups. They report to your engineering lead, not to us. We handle payroll, tooling, and account management — you handle the work.
Scale up anytime — we usually place a second engineer inside 5 days. Scale down with 7 days' notice. Most clients start with one engineer and add a second within 2 months.
Stripe, Wise, or Payoneer. Monthly or bi-weekly. Retainer engagements billed in advance. No PayPal.
