Placing Shopify + AI developers, see open talent

AI & Data

Hire generative AI developers who ship past the first impressive demo.

Text, image, and code generation built into real products, engineers who understand prompt engineering, fine-tuning, and output evaluation as production disciplines, not a single clever prompt shown once in a pitch deck.

Why hire through Code Elevator
Evaluation-first. We screen for engineers who build a test set before they build the feature, the difference between shipping and shipping something that quietly degrades.
Format discipline. Structured output that actually validates against your schema every time, not most of the time.
Cost-aware by default. Generation spend that scales with usage predictably, because model routing and caching were part of the design, not a fix after the first invoice.
Typical rate

from $25/hr

A typical range. Your final rate depends on experience level, timezone overlap and how long you book for.

Questions

Answered before you ask.

Whatever fits the output, GPT and Claude for text, Stable Diffusion or comparable models for images, matched to your latency, cost, and quality requirements rather than one default.

Fine-tuning or few-shot prompting against a curated set of your own approved examples, plus a review rubric so drift gets caught in evaluation, not in a customer-facing surface.

Yes. Diffusion-model pipelines for image generation are a standard part of the role when your product needs them, alongside text and structured content.

Dataset curation and cleaning first, then training runs measured against an eval set, not judged by eye. Most of the real work is in the data, not the training job itself.

What you're not risking

Every way out of this hire is already written down.

Two-week replacement

Not a fit? Replace anyone in the first two weeks. No questions asked, no replacement fee. We re-match from the same vetted pool.

No placement fee

You pay only for engineers who actually start. Seeing candidates costs nothing.

No lock-in

Dedicated and managed engagements run on a monthly rolling contract. Cancel with notice.

Rate agreed up front

You see the number before you commit. Nothing is added on top of it later.

Get started

Bring us the content problem. Three matched engineers in 48 hours.

Marketing copy at scale, product content, or a creative tool. We'll scope what generative AI can reliably do here and what still needs a human in the loop.

We reply within an hour during our working day in India and the UAE.
