Founding AI Engineer

Strong background in deep learning and transformer architectures Hands-on experience training or fine-tuning large models (LLMs or vision models) Proficiency with PyTorch, JAX, or TensorFlow Experience with distributed training frameworks (DeepSpeed, FSDP, Megatron, ZeRO, Ray) Strong software engineering skills — writing robust, production-grade systems Experience with GPU optimization: memory efficiency, quantization, mixed precision Comfortable owning ambiguous, zero-to-one technical problems end-to-end

Build end-to-end training pipelines: data → training → eval → inference Design new model architectures or adapt open-source frontier models Fine-tune models using state-of-the-art methods (LoRA/QLoRA, SFT, DPO, distillation) Architect scalable inference systems using vLLM / TensorRT-LLM / DeepSpeed Build data systems for high-quality synthetic and real-world training data Develop alignment, safety, and guardrail strategies Design evaluation frameworks across performance, robustness, safety, and bias Own deployment: GPU optimization, latency reduction, scaling policies Shape early product direction, experiment with new use cases, and build AI-powered experiences from zero Explore frontier techniques: retrieval-augmented training, mixture-of-experts, distillation, multi-agent orchestration, multimodal models
