The AI Roadmap Is Written. Nobody Is Building It.
The weekend prototype on ChatGPT worked. Then it met production: no evals, no error handling, no retries, and nobody owning the bill. The roadmap has six AI features on it and the team that should build them is already full.
Meanwhile the automation someone built in Zapier last year failed on a schema change, and the first person to notice was a customer.

Perfect Hire Guarantee
An Engineer Who Ships, Inside Your Stack
A Filipino AI engineer from Armasourcing is one dedicated person working your hours in your repos and your accounts. Not a fixed-scope project with a warranty period, and not a pooled team billed by the ticket. They build the feature, write the evals, watch the cost, and fix what breaks, every day.
What Your Filipino AI Engineer Builds
LLM integrations
wiring OpenAI, Anthropic, Google and open-weight models into your product and internal tools, with retries, fallbacks and logging
AI agents and workflows
lead qualification, support triage and document processing built in n8n, Make or code, tested before they touch a customer
RAG and knowledge bases
your docs, tickets and CRM turned into a grounded answer layer, re-indexed as the sources change
Evals and guardrails
a test set per feature, prompt injection checks, and a pass rate you can see before anything ships
Cost and usage reporting
tokens per task, spend per workflow, and the cheapest model that still passes the evals
Maintenance and incident fixes
schema changes, API deprecations and broken chains fixed the same day
The Cost Math on an AI Hire
The talent marketplaces put the rate range in plain sight. WorkGenius lists junior AI engineers at $60 to $90 an hour and senior ones at $140 to $200, and Toptal’s freelance AI developer roster is priced for enterprise projects. A full-time US hire sits above both once benefits land. Stack Overflow’s 2025 Developer Survey shows AI tooling is now standard in professional developer work; the shortage is people who turn it into production systems. Philippine market rates move where that break-even sits, not whether it exists.
Python, TypeScript, OpenAI and Anthropic APIs, LangChain, LlamaIndex, vector databases, n8n, Make, Zapier, Supabase, AWS and Google Cloud.
If the work is no-code workflows with AI steps rather than custom code, our AI Automation VA is the cheaper, faster fit. For human support teams augmented by AI from 10 seats, see Claude-powered contact center agents. See how matching works.
Need the rest of the product built too? Our Filipino software developers cover full stack, backend and DevOps work alongside the AI engineer.

Screened on a Real Build Task

An Engineer, Not an Agency
One dedicated person in your repos and tools, on your hours.
Our Process
How It Works
Discovery Call
Tell us about your AI backlog, your stack and the automations already running. In 15 minutes we map the engineer profile: languages, model APIs, infrastructure, seniority and timezone, so we know exactly who to look for.
Smart Match
Our talent team screens pre-vetted Filipino engineers on a real build task, not a quiz: wire a model to a small dataset, add evals, handle failures, explain the cost. Within 1 to 2 weeks we present 2 to 3 top picks with profiles and video introductions.
Interview & Select
You interview your shortlisted engineers via video call. Walk through the build task, ask about your stack, and choose the person who fits your team.
Onboard & Grow
We handle equipment, tool access and communication channels. Week one is codebase and data access, week two the first workflow reaches staging with evals, and by week four they own the pipeline while we manage payroll, HR and ongoing support.
Sound Familiar?
Is This You Right Now?
Every growing business hits this wall. Here's what changes when you stop trying to do it all alone.
BEFORE
Doing It All Yourself
- The demo worked but production never happened
- A US AI engineer is a six-figure line you keep postponing
- Agencies sell projects, not people, and the project ends
- Automations break quietly and a customer finds out first
AFTER
With Armasourcing
- LLM features shipped inside your product, not stuck in a demo
- AI agents that qualify leads and triage support, with evals you can see
- Automations that stay alive: schema changes and API deprecations fixed the same day
- Token spend measured per task, on the cheapest model that still passes

Read ArticleFrequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to hire an AI engineer?
Marketplace rate cards run $35 to $60 an hour for generalists and $140 to $200 for senior specialists, and a full-time US hire costs more once benefits land. A dedicated Filipino AI engineer is a flat monthly engagement at Philippine market rates. We quote the exact monthly rate on your discovery call, once we know the seniority and scope you need. No setup fees, no recruitment charges, and a term we agree with you up front.
What can a Filipino AI engineer actually build?
LLM features inside your product, AI agents for lead qualification and support triage, RAG over your documents, document and data pipelines, and the n8n, Make or custom-code automations around them. Model APIs from OpenAI, Anthropic and Google, plus open-weight models where cost or privacy demands it.
How do you screen AI engineers?
On a real build task, not a quiz: wire a model to a small dataset, add evals, handle failures and explain the cost. Candidates also pass our English, reliability and home-office infrastructure checks before you meet them, and you interview before choosing.
Who owns the code and the data?
You do. Work happens in your repos and accounts under your access controls, with a written confidentiality undertaking before day one. You decide which vendors and models are allowed to see your data.
Full time or part time?
Both. Full time is 40 hours a week on your timezone; part time is a defined 20-hour window. Either way the engineer is dedicated to you, never shared across clients.
AI engineer or AI automation VA?
If the work is no-code workflows with AI steps, our AI Automation VA is the cheaper, faster fit. If it needs custom code, evals, agents or anything inside your product, hire the engineer. We will tell you which on the call.
