This role blends fundamental research, model evaluation, and practical software engineering to push forward the next generation of intelligent applications.

What will your typical day look like?

Responsibilities

  • Collaborate with product managers, engineers, and stakeholders to design AI-driven solutions that meet technical and business requirements.
  • Research, prototype, and develop generative AI applications by combining non-deterministic LLMs with deterministic software engineering techniques.
  • Build evaluation frameworks and benchmarks to measure model quality, reliability, and business impact.
  • Generate regular reports on model accuracy, drift, and performance.
  • Debug, optimize, and enhance GenAI applications using prompt engineering, reinforcement learning, fine-tuning, and software engineering best practices.
  • Train and fine-tune large language models using Hugging Face Transformers.
  • Apply reinforcement learning fine-tuning techniques using Hugging Face TRL (Transformers Reinforcement Learning).
  • Manage training workflows with experiment tracking tools and distributed training accelerators (DeepSpeed, Accelerate, FSDP).
  • Run and optimize multi-GPU training and inference, leveraging vLLM for high-throughput, low-latency serving.
  • Contribute to the design of scalable MLOps / DevOps pipelines for model deployment, monitoring, and continuous training.
  • Ensure compliance with data privacy, security, and responsible AI guidelines when handling training or test datasets.
  • Stay current with emerging research in LLMs, RLHF / RLAIF, multimodal AI, and generative models; apply findings to improve our systems.
  • Author technical documentation and contribute to publications, patents, or open-source projects where applicable.
