In this role, you'll take ownership of complex problems from concept through production, leveraging large language models (LLMs), computer vision, recommendation systems, predictive models, and other machine learning technologies to create intelligent, personalized user experiences.

You'll collaborate closely with Product Managers, Mobile Engineers, Designers, and Data teams. This will lead to identifying opportunities where AI can drive engagement, retention, and monetization while remaining responsible for the technical architecture, model selection, experimentation, evaluation, and production deployment of AI solutions.

Who You Are

• LLM orchestration frameworks (LangChain, LangGraph, or equivalent)
• Fine-tuning experience, specifically LoRA (PEFT and quantization a plus)
• PyTorch and/or TensorFlow
• Dataset creation—sourcing, curating, and building datasets for training and evaluation
• AWS SageMaker
• Evaluation of model and retrieval quality (eval datasets, measuring retrieval performance, regression testing)
• Telemetry and logging for production systems

Preferred Qualifications

• FastAPI
• Public presence on HuggingFace (model/dataset contributions)
• MLOps experience (containerization, CI/CD, orchestration)
• Experience with managed ML platforms beyond SageMaker (Vertex AI, etc.)
• ONNX (model export/optimization for inference)
