Vetted AI Engineers from LATAM.
Deployed in Days, Not Months.
A senior AI engineer in the US costs $180,000–$250,000 in base salary alone — before benefits, equity, or a 3-month onboarding curve. UAM delivers the same technical depth from LATAM in days, not months, at a fraction of the cost. Same timezone. Strong English. US cultural alignment.
Start the Brief
Roles We Place
Every candidate is evaluated on AI and ML fundamentals, production tooling fluency, and the ability to own a system long-term — not just build a proof of concept.
Additional roles available. If you don’t see your specific need listed, include it in the brief and we’ll assess fit.
Why US Companies Are Struggling to Hire AI Talent
- US AI talent is expensive and the best candidates are employed or not actively searching
- Offshore options create timezone gaps, communication friction, and turnover that erases institutional knowledge
- Freelancers lack the commitment to own production systems long-term
- Staffing agencies send generalist developers into AI-specific roles, then disappear
- 6 to 12 week hiring cycles for senior AI roles, often longer
- US timezone overlap — real-time collaboration is the default, not the exception
- English fluency and async communication skills validated before shortlisting
- LATAM engineers with direct US work culture experience
- AI-specific vetting: ML, data engineering, and production tooling depth confirmed
- Shortlist delivered in days, with full technical vetting already done
Four Steps from Brief to Embedded Engineer
A structured process that gets you from role definition to a working engineer — without the hiring overhead.
Brief
Define the role precisely. Not just the title — the stack, the autonomy level, the communication expectations, and what the engineer will actually own day to day.
Match
We surface a shortlist of pre-vetted candidates within days. No months-long searches. You interview, you decide.
Embed
Onboarding support from the UAM team through the first 30 days. We stay involved to make sure the placement is working for both sides.
Retain
Ongoing support, career development, and continuity planning. We treat your embedded engineer as someone worth keeping.
What Separates a UAM Placement from a Generic Hire
Every AI Talent placement includes UAM’s full managed service infrastructure — the same operational layer that has supported UAM clients across all verticals for 17 years.
Dedicated specialist, not a gig worker
Your engineer is a full-time professional assigned to you. They learn your codebase, your systems, and your standards.
Thorough screening
We run a structured vetting process covering technical depth, communication quality, and cultural alignment before you see a single name.
UAM operations behind every placement
HR, quality assurance, and continuity planning are handled. You focus on the work, not the logistics.
Month-to-month
No long-term lock-in. All engagements are month-to-month with a 30-day cancellation notice. We earn your business every month.
Secure data handling
Advanced access controls, MFA, and instant credential revocation on offboarding. Your systems and your clients’ data are protected at every level.
