Frequently Asked Questions About Hiring NLP Engineers With X-Team

How does X-Team vet its NLP engineers?

Our hiring process pre-vets every candidate for machine learning proficiency, NLP expertise, and cultural fit. We ensure only the most qualified and compatible ML engineers are presented for your consideration.



How quickly can I hire dedicated NLP engineers through X-Team?

In many cases, we can match you with a single engineer within a few weeks. Larger teams take longer, depending on the skill sets and number of engineers required.



Can I scale my team of NLP engineers up or down as my needs change?

Yes. You can start with one NLP engineer or ramp up a dedicated ML team, then adjust headcount up or down as your language processing requirements evolve.



How much does it cost to hire an NLP engineer?

The cost to hire an NLP engineer varies by location, seniority, and engagement model. Freelance NLP engineers charge an average of $91 per hour, with most rates between $66 and $116 per hour. Full-time NLP engineers typically earn $70,000–$110,000+ annually, with starting salaries around $51,000, average salaries around $72,000, and senior positions around $110,000.



How is X-Team different from talent platforms or marketplaces?

Freelance platforms can connect you with NLP engineers, but you're on the hook for sourcing, vetting, and managing the work. X-Team is different. We provide you with fully committed, pre-vetted engineers who integrate into your stack, tools, and culture for the long haul.



Who owns the code and IP when we work with X-Team?

You do, as long as payment is current. All models and training pipelines created by X-Team engineers are fully yours, protected under clean work-for-hire and IP assignment agreements.



How do X-Teamers integrate into our workflow?

X-Team engineers adopt your repositories, boards, frameworks, and rituals from day one—joining stand-ups, code reviews, and sprint planning just like any in-house teammate.



What happens if an engineer isn't the right fit?

We'll resolve the issue quickly, whether through feedback or replacing the engineer. Our goal is long-term cultural fit, not just quick placement.



How does X-Team support distributed collaboration across time zones?

X-Team's model is async-first, but we prioritize overlap with your core hours and match you with engineers who can collaborate in real time where it matters.



How do you ensure code quality and security?

NLP engineers provided by X-Team follow your existing review and testing pipelines, use secure company-issued devices, and comply with best practices for credentials and access.



How do you handle legal, compliance, and talent payments across regions?

X-Team manages the full operational layer so you can scale globally without the legal or logistical friction. We handle onboarding, contracts, NDAs, and background checks. We ensure every engineer is properly classified and compliant in their country of residence. You receive a single, simple invoice—no paperwork overload, no surprises.



Do I have to sign a long-term contract to hire an NLP engineer with X-Team?

We'll sign an MSA that covers the terms of our work together. After that, our minimum engagement for a contracted scope of work is 3 months.
