Hiring senior AI engineers takes months.
Working with ours takes days.

We’ve spent over a decade building and deploying production AI systems.
Our team augmentation service places those same engineers directly inside your team

Built for technical teams that need more AI depth, faster

This is the honest list of situations where we add the most value.
If none of these fit, we’ll tell you on the first call.

AI Team Augmentation is for companies who:

  • Checkmark icon

    Can’t hire senior AI engineers fast enough to hit product deadlines

  • Checkmark icon

    Have strong tech teams but lack deep ML or AI expertise

  • Checkmark icon

    Want execution power, not just advisory – engineers who build and deploy

  • Checkmark icon

    Need to scale AI output without adding permanent headcount

  • Checkmark icon

    Started an AI project only to find it’s more complex than expected

Roles we provide

Every engineer at Velebit AI has worked on live production systems. They’ve seen what breaks,
what scales, and what wastes six months. You get that knowledge from day one.

Data Scientist

Turns business questions into rigorous experiements – forecasting, anomaly detection, A/B testing, and actionable insight generation.

Data Engineer

Builds the infrastructure that makes AI reliable – model serving, pipelines, monitoring, retraining and cloud-native deployment.

Machine Learning Engineer

Designs, trains and deploys custom ML model. Owns the full experiment lifecycle from data to production API.

LLM / AI Engineer

Builds production-grade LLM applications – agents, RAG pipelines, tool-use systems and evaluation frameworks.

Computer Vision Engineer

Specialized in image classification, object detection, segmentation, and OCR for real-world product and industrial use.

NLP specialist

Deep expertise in text classification, sentiment analysis, semantic search, content moderation, and multilingual NLP.

Two ways to work with us

One is for teams starting from scratch. One is for teams that need reinforcement.
Both come with the same engineers.

Dedicated AI Team

For teams with no AI capability yet or one that needs to scale fast.
We staff a full AI team (ML engineers, MLOps, and AI research) where needed.
You get a team that owns AI delivery end-to-end, from problem framing and data work through
to a model running in production.

Best fit when:

  • Checkmark icon

    You don’t have an in-house AI team

  • Checkmark icon

    You’re starting or scaling AI initiatives

  • Checkmark icon

    You need end-to-end execution

Senior AI Augmentation

For teams that already have AI in-house but need additional senior AI execution.
We include senior AI engineers into your existing team to extend capacity
and bring specific expertise.

Best fit when:

  • Checkmark icon

    You have an AI or data team in place

  • Checkmark icon

    You’re hitting complexity or delivery bottlenecks

  • Checkmark icon

    You need specific AI expertise

Why work with us

AI development company first.
AI consulting on top.

Paper and magnifier icon

70+ AI solutions across industries

Retail, media, automotive, e-commerce, manufacturing, pharma. Each one shaped by the constraints of real data, real timelines and real users. What we recommend, we’ve built before, usually more than once.

Team icon

Strategy meets execution

Most consultants give you the strategy. Most engineers give you the build. We do both, which means the strategy is shaped by what’s actually buildable, and the build is shaped by what actually moves the business.

Refresh icon

End-to-end AI partner

Discovery, strategy, education, build, deployment, maintenance. We’ve done all of it, sometimes in sequence, sometimes in combination. You don’t need to work with a different partner for each phase.

Head icon

Same people, start to finish

We’re not a company where the senior partner sells the work and juniors deliver it. The people in your first conversation are the people in your codebase. That keeps the quality consistent and the communication honest.

Our process

What happens after you book a call

  • Briefing

    We understand your team structure, current stack, the AI challenge you’re solving, and the skills gap you need to fill.

  • Team Match

    We propose the right profile – or combination of profiles – with specific experience relevant to your domain and problem.

  • Onboarding

    Engineers onboard to your tech stack, meet the team, and align on norms. We aim to have them contributing meaningful work within a week.

  • Deploy & Scale

    Engineers operate as true team members – building, reviewing, and iterating. Scale up, scale down, or extend as your needs evolve.

FAQ

Questions about Team Augmentation

A dedicated AI team is a full team (ML engineers, MLOps, and AI research as needed) that owns AI delivery end-to-end for companies with no in-house AI capability. Senior AI augmentation includes one or more senior AI engineers directly into a team you already have, to add capacity or fill a specific skills gap.

Yes. In both models, our engineers work inside your existing tools, infrastructure, and sprint process rather than asking you to adopt new systems. For dedicated teams, we integrate alongside your frontend and backend teams; for augmentation, we join the team and workflow you already run.

We staff senior AI/ML engineers with hands-on production experience. Augmentation specifically exists to bring senior-level expertise (e.g. production ML systems, computer vision, MLOps, etc) into teams that are short on it.

Work we’ve done inside teams like yours
