See how it works →Most companies that tried to build an AI agent ended up with a demo. It works in the happy path and falls apart when the model calls the wrong tool, loops, or returns something false. Getting from demo to production is the actual job.
This work prices with the AI/ML family. A mid-level AI engineer in the United States sits around $12,500 per month (2026 salary table). AI agent developers with Teilur start at $5,500 all-in.
Systems where a model makes decisions and calls tools, then everything that goes wrong: retries, validation, fallbacks, cost control and observability. OpenAI and Anthropic APIs, orchestration frameworks, RAG and vector databases, mostly in Python. Productized agents, not research scientists.
Nobody has ten years of experience. What matters is whether someone has shipped an agent that survived real users. We screen for that.
The field is new, so the region is not behind. The US salary premium for AI roles has not reached LATAM yet.
