Hire AI engineers from our own bench, placed in 2-4 weeks, from $60,000/year. If the fit is wrong, we replace them at no extra cost within 90 days. A comparable US hire takes 3-6 months to start. Need 1 to 5 AI developers? See the Golden Offer.
Free call, no commitment. Wrong fit? Replaced free within 90 days.
Searching for AI developers for hire or an AI engineer for hire? In 2026 that usually means one of two things: bringing on an AI-native engineer who directs a fleet of coding agents to cover the output of a small team, or bringing on a small AI engineering team to execute a defined roadmap. Both are staffing decisions, not a tool purchase, you are still hiring a person who is accountable for what ships.
ManasFlow places both. Engineer Placement is for hiring one developer. The Golden Offer is for hiring a small team, 1 to 5 engineers, across three role types. Every developer we place comes from our own bench, already trained to orchestrate coding agents, not a generic staffing or freelance pool.

Choose Engineer Placement for one defined gap: 2-4 weeks, from $60,000/year. Choose the Golden Offer when your roadmap needs more than one role, 1 to 5 engineers under one accountable lead. Both use our own bench and the same 90-day guarantee. Need an engineer embedded in your team instead? See forward deployed engineers .
Engineer Placement
A single AI-native engineer joins your team and orchestrates a fleet of coding agents to cover a whole team's output. Best when you need one dedicated hire, not a new team.
Golden Offer
Assemble 1 to 5 engineers across our full bench, Forward Deployed Engineer, GTM Engineer, or AI Automation Architect, run by one accountable engineer instead of a rotating pool.
Every developer builds with Claude Code and agent tooling, not just their own two hands.
Builds the integrations and automation systems that connect your tech stack, then runs a fleet of agents to maintain and extend them.
Owns frontend, backend, databases, and deployment end to end, using Claude Code and agent tooling to ship at the pace of a small team.
Integrates LLMs and builds the agents that turn AI concepts into systems running in production, not a slide deck.
We assess technical depth, agent-orchestration experience, and team fit before you meet a candidate, so you skip sourcing and interviews. Developers come from our own bench, not a marketplace. If the fit still is not right, we replace them at no extra cost within 90 days.
Every AI developer we place comes from ManasFlow's own team, already trained to orchestrate coding agents, not a generic freelance marketplace.
Against a 3 to 6 month norm for a comparable US hire: sourcing, interviews, and an offer cycle collapsed into weeks.
If the fit is not right, we replace the developer at no extra cost inside the first 90 days.
We assess technical depth and team fit before you meet them. You are hiring a vetted engineer, not running a search.

Before we build
Practical answers about scope, delivery, ownership, and working with ManasFlow.
A job board gives you applicants to screen. We place AI engineers from our own team, already assessed for technical depth and agent orchestration, so you skip sourcing and interviews. Placement starts from $60,000/year with a 2-4 week window and a 90-day replacement guarantee.
Our default is a placed engineer who joins your team on an ongoing basis. If you need a defined scope instead of a hire, our AI agent development and custom automation services are project based. Book a call and we route you to whichever fits.
Placement starts from $60,000/year with no recruitment fee. The table on this page compares that with a typical US hire once taxes, benefits and recruiting cost are counted. The staffing model calculator lets you run your own numbers.
Usually one of two things: adding an AI-native engineer to your team who directs a fleet of coding agents (Claude Code and similar tooling) to cover the output of a small team, or bringing on a small AI engineering team to execute a defined roadmap. ManasFlow places both: one engineer through Engineer Placement, or 1 to 5 engineers through the Golden Offer.
Marketplaces and staffing agencies connect you to individual freelancers or candidates you still have to vet, interview, and manage yourself. We place developers directly from our own team, already assessed for technical depth and agent-orchestration experience, so there is no sourcing or interview loop on your side.
Placement through Engineer Placement starts from $60,000/year, with no recruitment fees or employer tax overhead on top. The Golden Offer, for teams hiring more than one engineer, is scoped on a kickoff call based on the roles and roadmap. Both are priced well under a comparable US in-house hire once taxes, benefits, and recruiting costs are included.
Most Engineer Placement requests move from discovery to shortlist within a few days, with a 2-4 week window from request to start, against a 3-6 month norm for a US hire. Golden Offer timelines depend on the number of roles and are set on the kickoff call.
Product features end to end, internal tools, workflow automations, GTM pipelines, and agentic systems wired into your existing stack. The exact skill set (n8n automation, full-stack engineering, AI/LLM integration) depends on the role you request, see the roles above.
If you need one dedicated hire to cover a defined gap, start with Engineer Placement. If you have a fuller roadmap or need more than one role, the Golden Offer assembles 1 to 5 engineers across Forward Deployed Engineer, GTM Engineer, and AI Automation Architect roles under one accountable lead. Not sure which fits? Book a call either way, we route you to the right option on it.
If the fit is wrong, we replace the developer at no extra cost inside the first 90 days. We check in during onboarding so problems surface early, and we adjust scope first when that solves it.
An AI developer, often called an AI engineer, builds products on top of existing models: LLM integrations, agents and automations running in production. An ML engineer trains and deploys models. A data scientist analyzes data to answer business questions. Most teams adding AI features need the first role. Our guides on AI engineer vs ML engineer and how to hire AI engineers, linked above, cover the split.
No. Placement starts from $60,000 a year with no recruitment fee and no employer taxes or benefits on top. In the cost table on this page, a US in-house hire adds about $30,000 in taxes and benefits and $20,000 to $40,000 in recruiting. Hiring 1 to 5 engineers? The Golden Offer is scoped on a kickoff call.
You book a free call and describe the role and what needs building. We shortlist from our own bench, usually within a few days, after assessing technical depth, agent-orchestration experience and team fit. You meet the developer, and they start inside the 2 to 4 week window. There is no sourcing or interview loop on your side.
We do, for the first 90 days. If the developer is not the right fit, we replace them at no extra cost. With a US in-house hire, fit risk is yours, and starting over means another 3 to 6 month hiring cycle. Engineer Placement and the Golden Offer carry the same 90-day replacement guarantee.
Hire in-house when you need an on-site employee and can wait 3 to 6 months. A freelancer or a project-based agency fits a one-off project with a fixed scope. A placed developer fits ongoing capacity you need within 2 to 4 weeks, from $60,000 a year, with a 90-day replacement guarantee and no interview loop.
Claude Code and agent tooling. Every developer we place directs a fleet of coding agents: Claude Code does the reasoning, MCP connects the agents to your tools, and agent tooling handles the scaffolding. They onboard into your existing sprint and tools, so you do not switch stacks to work with them.
It is not right if you need a fully in-house, on-site employee for reasons outside output or cost. It is not right for a one-off project either, where our project-based services fit better. And it is not right if you cannot onboard someone into your sprint and tools within a few weeks.
Book a free call in the booking section at the bottom of this page. You leave the call knowing whether you need one developer or a small team, and which role fits. Placement then runs 2 to 4 weeks from request to start. The call is free and carries no commitment.
