Quick answerRAG developers from Relevance Lab work on ingestion and chunking pipelines, embeddings and vector databases, hybrid keyword-plus-vector and graph retrieval, re-ranking, grounding and citation, permission-aware retrieval, evaluation of groundedness, and RAG chatbots and knowledge assistants — including fixing an existing RAG system that hallucinates.

Scope

What RAG developers you hire work on

Ingestion & indexing

Structure-aware chunking, embeddings, and change detection across your sources.

Hybrid & graph retrieval

Keyword + vector + graph retrieval and re-ranking for accuracy where relationships matter.

Permission-aware retrieval

Filtered to each user's entitlements, mirroring your access model.

RAG evaluation & tuning

Groundedness and helpfulness scoring, and measurable fixes for a hallucinating system.

FAQ

Hire RAG Developers: frequently asked questions

Ingestion and chunking pipelines, embeddings and vector databases, hybrid keyword-plus-vector and graph retrieval, re-ranking, grounding and citation, permission-aware retrieval, evaluation of groundedness, and RAG chatbots and knowledge assistants.

Common vector stores and search engines, embedding models from OpenAI and open-source families, re-rankers, and retrieval evaluation tooling — selected for your scale, latency and cost.

Yes — a frequent engagement. They diagnose retrieval quality, chunking, prompt grounding and evaluation gaps, and improve accuracy measurably against a curated test set.

Yes — retrieval filtered to each user's entitlements, PII handling, and audit logging, mirroring your source-system access model.

Usually within 1–3 weeks of candidate selection.
