In short

The quick answer

Our RAG developers spend most of their time on the unglamorous parts: parsing documents properly, tuning retrieval, adding citations and measuring whether the right passage actually came back.

The role

What our RAG developers do

What our RAG developers build

  • Internal knowledge assistants over policies, contracts and manuals
  • Customer support assistants that answer from your help content
  • Search and question answering across SharePoint, Confluence, drives and databases
  • Cited answers so users can check every claim
  • Evaluation sets that track answer accuracy over time

When to hire a RAG developer

  • Your RAG prototype gives confident but wrong answers
  • Answers need citations for compliance or trust
  • You have large or messy document sets that need proper ingestion
  • Data must stay in your own cloud or on-premises

FAQ

Hiring RAG developers: FAQs

What is a RAG developer?

A RAG developer builds retrieval-augmented generation systems: pipelines that find the right passages in your own data and give them to a language model, so answers are grounded in your content rather than the model memory. The job covers ingestion, chunking, embeddings, retrieval tuning, prompting and evaluation.

Why do RAG prototypes fail in production?

Usually because retrieval returns the wrong passages, documents are chunked badly, or nobody measures accuracy. Our developers fix this with better ingestion, hybrid search, reranking and an evaluation set that catches regressions before users do.

Can a RAG system cite its sources?

Yes. We build assistants that show the documents and passages each answer came from, which is important for regulated teams and for user trust.

Can RAG run without sending data to a public AI API?

Yes. We deploy RAG with open models and self-hosted vector databases in your cloud, private cloud or on-premises environment when data cannot leave it.

How long does a RAG build take?

A focused RAG assistant typically reaches production in 3 to 8 weeks, with working software demonstrated at the end of each sprint.
