## When teams bring us this brief

## What the job covers in practice

- **The assignment**: Machine-learning evaluation, model integration and production maintenance. Find a vetted specialist for your data; hire directly or let SDK manage them.
- **Assess the candidate**: Ask about baselines, evaluation data, leakage and model monitoring. Separate model training and prediction work from connecting an existing LLM to business tools.

Tools this role often works with: Machine learning

## How it works

- **Tell us who you need**: A short brief: the role or skills, when they should start and for how long. A rough idea is enough.
- **Get a shortlist**: Vetted people who are available and have said they are interested. You see their experience, skills and why we picked them.
- **Choose for each person**: Hire them directly, or let SDK manage them. Or pass, and we keep looking.
- **They start**: We introduce you and agree the start date. We stay your contact while they work.

## Two ways to work with each person

You decide for each person on your shortlist, so you can mix both on the same team.

- **Hire directly**: They work for you, on your own contract.
- **Let SDK manage them**: They work on your project, under our contract.

## Questions before you hire

### How should we assess this role?

Ask about baselines, evaluation data, leakage and model monitoring. Separate model training and prediction work from connecting an existing LLM to business tools.

### What does vetted mean?

Our engineers review each person's work history and technical fit for your need before proposing them. You see their experience, skills and why we picked them before you decide.

### Can I mix both options?

Yes. You choose per person, so one person can join you directly while another works under SDK's contract.

## What to put in your brief

A rough idea is enough to start. These details help us send the right people.

- For example: a senior React developer, or a backend and a DevOps engineer.
- Ask about baselines, evaluation data, leakage and model monitoring. Separate model training and prediction work from connecting an existing LLM to business tools.
- When they should start, for how long, and who they would report to

## Hire a specialist or commission the work

SDK Enterprises also audits, builds and maintains client software across the technologies we hire for, and provides consulting for agile teams. Choose a person when you can direct the assignment. Choose a project when you need an agreed result owned by SDK. SDK-managed staffing covers the agreed engagement; it does not automatically include responsibility for a whole project.
