Hiring Nairon Engineers

Our Philosophy

Hiring AI Talent Is Broken

You've seen the resumes.

"Built a chatbot with OpenAI."

"Fine-tuned a model in a Jupyter notebook."

"Completed 12 Coursera certificates."

Then they join your team and can't:

Debug why latency spiked 10x in production

Explain the cost tradeoffs between RAG and fine-tuning

Ship a feature without hand-holding

Nairon Difference

What makes Nairon's Engineers Different?

Our 10-week program is designed to be failed.

99% of applicants don't make it in.

Of those who do, we push them through the most intensive AI engineering training outside of Big Tech.

They're not beginners learning AI.

They're experienced engineers becoming AI-first.

Meet the Engineers

Every Nairon graduate can:

01

→ Ship production AI systems

→ Ship production AI systems

Not demos. Not notebooks. Real systems with monitoring, error handling, and scale considerations baked in.

02

→ Make architectural decisions

→ Make architectural decisions

They know when to use RAG vs. fine-tuning vs. agents—and can defend that decision to your investors.

03

→ Think in tradeoffs

→ Think in tradeoffs

"Will this scale? What will it cost? Who will maintain it?" These aren't afterthoughts. They're the first questions.

04

→ Communicate with stakeholders

→ Communicate with stakeholders

They can explain technical debt to your board and system architecture to your product team.

We're looking for engineers who've shipped code to production and understand the full development lifecycle. Experience with real users, deployment, and maintenance helps you get the most from the program.
