Hire OCR Engineers Who Turn Documents Into Data

Our hiring process pre-vets every candidate for computer vision expertise, OCR technology knowledge, and cultural fit. We ensure only the most qualified and compatible ML engineers are presented for your consideration.

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.

Yes. You can start with one OCR engineer or ramp up a dedicated computer vision team, then adjust headcount up or down as your document processing requirements evolve.

The cost to hire an OCR engineer varies by location, seniority, and engagement model. OCR work overlaps with computer vision and deep learning engineering, with typical hourly rates ranging from $60–120 per hour. Full-time machine learning engineers specializing in OCR typically earn $90,000–$180,000 annually, with averages around $115,000 per year.

Freelance platforms can connect you with OCR 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.

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

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.

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

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.

OCR 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.

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.

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.
