HR Specialist
Own recruiting and people operations — from sourcing and screening to payroll, benefits, and engagement.
Trained, not just credentialed
The proof, from both sides of the hire — clients who scaled, and engineers who leveled up.
Ryzlink stood up a four-person AI pod in under two weeks. They shipped a production RAG pipeline while our internal hiring was still scheduling interviews.
The engineers came trained, not just credentialed. They were reviewing pull requests on day three.
I joined Ryzlink as a new grad. Their training had me reviewing pull requests in week one and shipping a production RAG pipeline by month two — I now lead a four-person pod.
We've worked with Ryzlink for years across QA and data engineering. The quality bar is the reason we keep coming back.
Answers, for both sides of the hire
Hiring or job-hunting — here's what people ask us most.
What's a forward-deployed engineer (FDE)?
A senior, AI-fluent engineer who embeds in your team — in your codebase, standups, and roadmap — and owns outcomes, not a seat. It's the model the industry is standardizing on; we make it agile and accessible.
How fast can an engineer actually start?
We share matched profiles in 48–72 hours, and engineers typically embed within days — productive in their first week.
Individual, pod, or outcome-based?
All three. Bring in one forward-deployed engineer, a full delivery pod, or an outcome-based engagement tied to your KPI — scope and terms agreed with you in a contract before day one.
How does outcome-based delivery work?
When you can name the result, we tie our engagement to it: define the KPI, baseline it, and agree the terms up front. Aligned incentives, no scope surprises, and your IP stays yours.
Onshore or offshore?
Both. Onshore in San Jose and Austin, with global delivery centers in Hyderabad, Shanghai, and Tokyo — onshore-only delivery is available on request.
How do you protect my code and IP?
Your IP is yours from commit one. Every engagement runs under a mutual NDA and a work-product / IP-assignment clause — all code, models, and artifacts you pay for are assigned to you. Engineers operate under least-privilege access inside your environment and controls.
How are engineers vetted, and how do you handle compliance?
Every engineer is background- and reference-checked and NDA-bound before day one. We work within your security controls and sign your MSA / NDA / DPA — full compliance tailored to your requirements.
I'm an engineer — how do I join?
Explore our open roles and apply if you are a right fit. If you are a recent graduate and looking for help getting into job market, You are at the right place. We turn new grads into senior-grade, forward-deployed AI engineers on real products.
