📋 Description

• Model Ownership: Design and execute fine-tuning strategies (LoRA, full fine-tuning) and own the experimentation cycle from hypothesis through production deployment. • Data Strategy: Build and refine data collection and labeling strategies for complex, messy domains, including designing auto-labeling pipelines. • Architecture: Evaluate and select base models (proprietary and open-source) for domain-specific tasks, focusing on small language models (SLMs). • Deployment: Deploy fine-tuned models to production using cloud ML platforms (Vertex AI, SageMaker, or equivalent). • Evaluation: Develop rigorous evaluation frameworks that measure real-world performance on agentic workflows, not just benchmarks.

🎯 Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in applied ML with a focus on model training and fine-tuning in a commercial setting. • 2+ years of hands-on experience with LoRA and full fine-tuning—you have shipped these, not just read about them. • Track record of deploying fine-tuned models to production on cloud ML platforms. • High comfort level working with messy, unstructured data and designing labeling strategies from scratch. • Proficiency with HuggingFace, PyTorch, and at least one cloud ML platform. • Strong opinions about base model selection, held loosely—you can articulate tradeoffs between architectures.
