About the job
Owns end-to-end post-training engagements for enterprise text workloads, adapting models to customer requirements and building reusable delivery workflows.
What you'll do
- Lead customer post-training projects from requirements and specifications through model delivery and evaluation.
- Design data generation, filtering, quality assessment, and task-specific evaluations for text models.
- Run fine-tuning and preference-alignment workflows and build reusable tooling for future engagements.
What they ask for
- Hands-on experience with data generation and evaluation for LLM post-training.
- Experience training or fine-tuning models using SFT, instruction tuning, RLHF, DPO, or similar preference-alignment methods.
- Strong intuition for text data quality and evaluation design, plus text-specific post-training workflow experience.
- Proficiency with the open-source ML ecosystem (Hugging Face, PyTorch) and modern model architectures.
Nice to have
- Experience delivering applied ML work to external customers with measurable outcomes.
- Familiarity with inference optimization frameworks (vLLM, SGLang, TensorRT), or experience building reusable ML tooling or evaluation infrastructure.
Tools
Hugging Face, PyTorch, SFT, instruction tuning, RLHF, DPO, vLLM, SGLang
