About the role

A role focused on transforming language models into impactful product experiences by defining technical direction, building systems, and innovating in AI model training and deployment for a global consumer AI application.

Responsibilities

  • Build end-to-end training pipelines: data → training → eval → inference
  • Design new model architectures or adapt open-source frontier models
  • Fine-tune models using state-of-the-art methods (LoRA/QLoRA, SFT, DPO, distillation)
  • Architect scalable inference systems using vLLM / TensorRT-LLM / DeepSpeed
  • Build data systems for high-quality synthetic and real-world training data
  • Develop alignment, safety, and guardrail strategies
  • Design evaluation frameworks across performance, robustness, safety, and bias
  • Own deployment: GPU optimization, latency reduction, scaling policies
  • Shape early product direction, experiment with new use cases, and build AI-powered experiences from zero
  • Explore frontier techniques: retrieval-augmented training, mixture-of-experts, distillation, multi-agent orchestration, multimodal models

Qualifications

  • Strong background in deep learning and transformer architectures
  • Hands-on experience training or fine-tuning large models (LLMs or vision models)
  • Proficiency with PyTorch, JAX, or TensorFlow
  • Experience with distributed training frameworks (DeepSpeed, FSDP, Megatron, ZeRO, Ray)
  • Strong software engineering skills — writing robust, production-grade systems
  • Experience with GPU optimization: memory efficiency, quantization, mixed precision
  • Comfortable owning ambiguous, zero-to-one technical problems end-to-end
