What's included.

01

Full team integration

Your engineer joins your Slack, attends standups, reviews PRs, and works within your sprint — indistinguishable from a full-time hire.

Every Boundev engineer has 5+ years of software experience and at least 2 years building production AI systems.

Stack-matched placement

We match on your exact tech stack — LangChain, LlamaIndex, FastAPI, Python, TypeScript, Kubernetes, and beyond.

04

Flexible duration

Engage for 1 month or 12. Scale up or down based on your roadmap. No notice periods or exit clauses.

Common questions.

Boundev engineers are vetted for production AI experience and embedded properly — with daily updates, sprint participation, and accountability via Boundev's delivery oversight. A freelancer is typically project-scoped with no ongoing delivery guarantee.
One month. Most engagements run 3–12 months. We don't enforce minimums, but projects shorter than a month are usually better served by Boundev Tasks.
Yes. If you want to hire your Boundev engineer full-time, we have a conversion fee arrangement. Contact us before making an offer.
