  • Typically, you can hire AI infrastructure engineers with Toptal in about 48 hours. For larger teams of talent or full end-to-end project delivery, timelines may vary. Our talent matchers are highly skilled in the same fields they’re matching in—they’re not recruiters or HR reps. They’ll work with you to understand your goals, technical needs, and team dynamics, and match you with ideal candidates from our vetted global talent network.

    Once you select your AI infrastructure engineer, you’ll have a no-risk trial period to ensure they’re the perfect fit. Our matching process has a 98% trial-to-hire rate, so you can rest assured that you’re getting the best fit every time.

  • To hire the right AI infrastructure engineer, it’s important to evaluate a candidate’s experience, technical skills, and communication skills. You’ll also want to consider the fit with your particular industry, company, and project. Toptal’s rigorous screening process ensures that every member of our network has excellent experience and skills, and our team will match you with the perfect AI infrastructure engineers for your project.

  • At Toptal, we thoroughly screen our AI infrastructure engineers to ensure we only match you with the highest caliber of talent. Of the more than 200,000 people who apply to join the Toptal network each year, fewer than 3% make the cut.

Whether you hire a AI infrastructure engineer for a full- or part-time position, you’ll have the control and flexibility to scale your team up or down as your needs evolve. Our AI infrastructure engineers can fully integrate into your existing team for a seamless working experience.

  • We make sure that each engagement between you and your AI infrastructure engineer begins with a trial period of up to two weeks. This means that you have time to confirm the engagement will be successful. If you’re completely satisfied with the results, we’ll bill you for the time and continue the engagement for as long as you’d like. If you’re not completely satisfied, you won’t be billed. From there, we can either part ways, or we can provide you with another AI infrastructure engineer who may be a better fit and with whom we will begin a second, no-risk trial.
