LATAM AI engineers for high-impact products

We help companies hire AI Engineers who build real products, not experiments. Prometeo Talent connects you with top AI talent from LATAM ready to take models into production and keep them running.

Since 2010, we’ve worked with US and European teams that rely on AI for growth, automation, and decision-making. We know the gap isn’t ideas or data. It’s execution. Models need clean pipelines, constant tuning, and engineers who understand what happens after deployment.

Our AI Engineers design, ship, and maintain production systems. They handle model lifecycle, infrastructure, monitoring, and performance from day one. Many teams bring these profiles into broader data science recruitment efforts to ensure AI initiatives stay grounded in real data and measurable outcomes.

The result is practical AI. Systems that scale. Features that reach users. And teams that stop testing ideas and start delivering value.

Why hiring AI engineers fails so often

AI hiring looks simple from the outside. It isn’t.

Many candidates can train a model. Few can deploy one. Others know theory but freeze when data drifts, latency spikes, or regulators ask questions. Titles don’t help. “AI Engineer,” “ML Engineer,” “Data Scientist.” Often interchangeable. Rarely equivalent.

The result shows up fast:

  • Models that never leave staging
  • Silent performance decay after launch
  • Fragile pipelines glued together with scripts
  • Ethical and compliance risks nobody owns
  • Product teams losing faith in “AI”

You feel it. Velocity drops. Confidence follows.

We filter for what actually matters. At Prometeo Talent, we assess applied machine learning, not academic comfort. We look at end-to-end ownership: data ingestion, feature engineering, model selection, evaluation, deployment, monitoring, and retraining.

Real systems. Real constraints.

What we look for in high-impact AI engineers

Strong AI Engineers think in systems, not models. They understand bias-variance tradeoffs, but also cost curves and user impact. They know when not to use deep learning.

We focus on engineers who can:
  • Design ML pipelines using MLOps practices (CI/CD for models, versioning, rollback)
  • Work with frameworks like PyTorch, TensorFlow, XGBoost, and scikit-learn in production contexts
  • Handle data drift, concept drift, and monitoring with tools like MLflow, Evidently, or custom metrics
  • Collaborate with product and backend teams without friction
  • Balance accuracy, latency, explainability, and cost
  • Ship responsibly under GDPR, SOC2, or industry-specific constraints
Quick pause.
Not every company needs cutting-edge AI. Some need reliable predictions. Others need ranking, recommendations, NLP, or computer vision that just works. We don’t oversell complexity. We hire for fit.

A recruitment process built for production AI

AI fails most often at the handoff. Research to engineering. Engineering to product. Product to users.

Our process closes that gap.

We start by mapping your AI maturity. Data quality. Infra. Team structure. Risk tolerance. Then we define the role precisely: ML Engineer, Applied AI Engineer, or Research-leaning specialist. No vague profiles.

Candidates are screened on:

  • Applied problem solving, not toy datasets
  • Past production failures and how they recovered
  • Model lifecycle thinking, not one-off training
  • Clear communication with non-AI stakeholders

This isn’t volume hiring.
It’s precision.

The payoff:

  • Faster time from idea to live feature
  • Models that improve over time,not decay
  • Less rework for engineering teams
  • AI your business can trust

Your competitors are learning every day.Their models get better. So do their decisions.

Hire AI engineers who create real advantage

A strong AI Engineer doesn’t just improve metrics. They change how your company learns. Better forecasts. Smarter automation. Clearer decisions at scale.

That’s why this hire matters more than most.

Prometeo Talent connects you with AI Engineers who understand impact, responsibility, and execution. People who know that shipping is only the beginning.

If AI is part of your strategy, delaying this hire is a decision in itself.
