The challenge

Where teams get stuck

The problems we're most often brought in to solve.

  1. 01

    Prototypes that never reach production

    Proofs of concept show promise, but the engineering to deploy, monitor and maintain them is missing.

  2. 02

    Scarce applied AI expertise

    Engineers with production machine learning and LLM experience are difficult to recruit and retain locally.

  3. 03

    Models without governance

    Experiments are undocumented and unmonitored, so results are hard to reproduce, explain or trust.

Overview

AI & ML Engineering Capacity at VulcanTech

AI and ML engineering capacity adds engineers to your team who move models from experiment to production: data preparation, model training and evaluation, LLM and retrieval systems, and deployment with monitoring. VulcanTech engineers have delivered computer vision, forecasting and classification work, and join your data and product teams under the same assessment, confidentiality and IP terms as every engagement.

Key deliverables

  • Shortlist of assessed AI/ML engineers
  • Onboarding plan with your data team
  • Model and experiment documentation
  • Signed NDA and IP assignment

What you get

What AI & ML Engineering Capacity includes

  • Production ML engineering

    Engineers who build data pipelines, training workflows and deployment paths, not only notebooks.

  • Generative AI and retrieval

    Experience integrating foundation models, retrieval-augmented generation and evaluation into products.

  • Computer vision

    Image and video models for detection, classification and inspection use cases.

  • MLOps practices

    Experiment tracking, model versioning and monitoring that keep models reliable after release.

  • Documented experiments

    Models, datasets and results documented so work is reproducible and auditable.

  • Embedded with your data team

    Engineers follow your data access controls, review processes and delivery cadence.

Our process

How we deliver

A delivery process you can see into — from first workshop to production support.

Book a free consultation
  1. 01

    Discovery

    A focused working session on your objectives, constraints and existing systems. It concludes with a scoped proposal and a clear view of value, risk and effort.

  2. 02

    Architecture & planning

    We agree the target architecture, data model and integration approach before product code is written, and secure your sign-off.

  3. 03

    Iterative delivery

    Working software reaches a staging environment on a regular cadence, giving stakeholders continuous visibility and the ability to steer priorities.

  4. 04

    Assurance & hardening

    Automated testing, accessibility and performance budgets, and a security review are completed before anything reaches production.

  5. 05

    Launch & continuity

    We manage cutover and remain engaged through an agreed support period, with a structured handover to your teams or ongoing operation by ours.

Engagement models

Work with us the way that suits you

Explore engagement models →
  • Outcome-based delivery

    A defined scope, timeline and commercial model agreed after discovery. We own delivery risk against the agreed outcomes.

    Best for: Well-defined initiatives, MVPs and first releases

  • Dedicated product teams

    A cross-functional pod — engineering, design, QA and delivery leadership — aligned to your roadmap and scaled as priorities change.

    Best for: Long-term product development and evolving roadmaps

  • Team extension

    Senior engineers embed in your organisation, work inside your processes and report to your leaders — on contracts that assign all IP to you.

    Best for: Adding specialist capability without growing headcount

Tools & technologies

The stack we build with

  • Python
  • PyTorch
  • TensorFlow
  • scikit-learn
  • LangChain
  • OpenCV
  • MLflow
  • AWS SageMaker

Why VulcanTech

A partner, not a vendor

Senior engineering, honest delivery, and work we can name.

  • Senior engineers own delivery

    The engineers who scope your programme in discovery are the engineers who deliver it. There is no hand-off to a junior bench after contract signature.

  • Engagement models that fit

    Outcome-based delivery, dedicated product teams, team extension or global capability centres, matched to how your organisation prefers to work.

  • A verifiable track record

    Every customer story we publish describes real production work, naming the client wherever confidentiality allows, including public-sector platforms secured through competitive tenders.

  • 80+ projects in 16 countries

    Delivered since 2021 across the public sector, real estate, healthcare, manufacturing and consumer technology, for regulated and high-growth organisations alike.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can't find what you need? Ask us in the discovery session.

Yes, under the controls you define. Engineers work within your environments and data access policies, sign confidentiality agreements and assign IP to you. Where data is particularly sensitive, we recommend anonymised or synthetic datasets for development and restrict production data access to what each task genuinely requires.
