About the role
AI Engineer on the founding team responsible for training, fine-tuning, deploying multimodal models and building high-performance AI systems to automate real-world freight workflows in Vooma’s AI orchestration platform.
Responsibilities
- Training, fine-tuning, and deploying state-of-the-art multimodal models across a range of real-world tasks
- Designing and implementing evaluation frameworks to rigorously measure model performance and guide iteration
- Building and scaling data flywheels - collecting, curating, and generating high-quality datasets to continuously improve model outcomes
- Developing systems for live learning, feedback incorporation, and continuous model adaptation in production
- Implementing techniques like negative mining to harden models against edge cases and failure modes
- Owning the full lifecycle from experimentation → validation → deployment → monitoring
- Collaborating closely across engineering and product to integrate models into reliable, high-performance systems
Qualifications
- Hands-on experience working with modern foundation models (LLMs, multimodal models, or similar) in production settings
- Strong intuition for model behavior, evaluation, and failure modes
- Experience with fine-tuning, training pipelines, and dataset construction
- Familiarity with techniques like RLHF, synthetic data generation, or active learning (not required, but highly relevant)
- Comfort working across Python-based ML stacks and Typescript-based production systems
- A bias toward action - you run experiments, measure results, and iterate quickly
- The mindset of an owner: you care about outcomes, not just outputs, and push systems to actually work in the real world
Skills
