The Zero-Junior Policy: Why We Refuse to Learn on Your Budget

A FinTech company hired a "premium" agency to build their AI system. They paid $300/hour for a "Senior Partner" to lead the project. Six months later, the system crashed. When they called for help at 3 AM, a junior developer answered. He had just learned Python last month. He couldn't fix it.

At OpsSolved, we are the Adults in the AI Room. We reject this broken model.

The Agency Model is Broken

Most agencies sell you a "Senior Partner" who shows up for the sales meetings. But as soon as the contract is signed, the actual work is handed off to juniors who are learning on your budget.

The Result:

• Poor code quality that breaks in production.
• Juniors who can't fix complex issues.
• You pay senior rates for entry-level work.

The OpsSolved Standard: Senior-Only Engineering

We are a distributed network of Senior-Only Engineers (Poland & UK). We do not hire juniors. Period.

What "Senior" Actually Means to Us

At OpsSolved, a Senior Engineer isn't just someone with a title. Every member of our team meets the standards set by our Lead Architect, Mateusz Szczepański. Mateusz brings the architectural rigor of EY (Big 4) and Sabre combined with the velocity of a SkyHacks winner.

Every engineer on your project has:

• 10+ years of software engineering experience.
• 5+ years of production AI/ML experience.
• Shipped systems that handle millions of requests.
• Fixed critical bugs in production at 3 AM.

Why This Matters for AI

AI Engineering is not basic Web Development. It requires a deep understanding of complex, distributed systems.

1. Distributed Systems at Scale

Processing 1M+ pages/hour requires serious architectural chops. Juniors often make mistakes in fault tolerance and scalability that are impossible to fix later. Our seniors have built these systems before.

2. Vector Mathematics & Debugging

Debugging retrieval issues isn't about fixing a typo. It's about understanding embedding spaces and vector math. We don't treat AI like a black box; we understand the math behind it.

3. Bank-Grade Security

Handling sensitive data (PII) in an AI pipeline requires a security-first mindset. Our engineers have experience with bank-grade security and compliance (HIPAA, GDPR, DORA).

The Math: Why Seniors are Actually Cheaper

A junior might cost less per hour, but their mistakes are expensive.

• Junior Mistake: Forgets input validation. Result: Data breach costing $500k+.
• Junior Decision: Chooses an unscalable architecture. Result: A $200k rebuild in six months.

When you hire OpsSolved, you pay for code that works the first time. We ensure every line meets the "Industrial Standard"—stable at 3 AM and fully auditable.

Our Promise

We limit the number of projects we accept because we refuse to dilute our quality with inexperienced staff. When you work with us, you speak directly to the architects building your system. No account managers, no middlemen, no juniors.

If you want the A-Team, you hire OpsSolved. If you want to fund a junior's education, hire an agency.
