How it works

How it works

This index replaces guesswork with structured discovery. Employers define what they need, engineers prove what they can build, and the pages connect them through capability — not keywords.

For employers

Find the right AI engineer

01

Define your need

Describe the project or role. The taxonomy translates “we need an AI person” into prompting, retrieval, agents, evaluation, guardrails, or production.

No more guessing whether the title is prompt engineer or ML engineer. Requirements map to capabilities you can filter.

02

Discover matching engineers

Browse Discover with capability filters. Every published profile shows a skill list and evidence links.

Combine slugs, search by name or headline, and keep a shortlist on Convex. Nothing is ranked.

03

Evaluate with confidence

Open the profile: headline, summary, capabilities with definitions, and the evidence register.

Compare shortlisted people on standardized fields. Introductions still go by email.

04

Connect

Write to the engineer via the listed mailto, or send a concierge brief if you want a hand-picked shortlist.

No recruiter inbox and no self-serve checkout on these pages.

For engineers

Showcase what you actually build

01

Build your profile

A structured showcase: headline, taxonomy slugs, location, availability. The /build wizard writes the draft to Convex.

Go beyond a generic resume. Name prompting, agents, RAG, evaluation, guardrails, production, or fine-tuning with evidence.

02

Add proof of work

Attach case studies, repos, demos, talks. Each link has a kind and a host.

Employers see evidence aligned to the capability they filtered on.

03

Get discovered

Once published, the profile enters the static index. Employers find you by capability, not keyword scraping.

Taxonomy

The AI engineering taxonomy

Prompt engineering

Design, optimize, and manage prompts. Chain-of-thought, few-shot design, and prompt versioning.

Open Prompt engineering →

Agent engineering

Tool use, planning loops, multi-agent coordination, and state management.

Open Agent engineering →

RAG & context

Retrieval-augmented generation, embeddings, chunking, and context-window discipline.

Open RAG & context →

Evaluation & testing

Eval frameworks, test suites, model quality, and regression testing for AI systems.

Open Evaluation & testing →

Guardrails & safety

Content filters, output validation, red-teaming, and compliance-aware deployment.

Open Guardrails & safety →

Production & hardening

LLMOps, inference, caching, monitoring, cost, and reliability at scale.
