We are looking for a Machine Learning Engineer with 5+ years of experience who has hands-on expertise in fine-tuning pre-trained models for production use cases. You will work on adapting large-scale models (LLMs, vision, or multimodal) to domain-specific problems, optimizing performance, and deploying them in scalable environments.
Responsibilities
Responsibilities
- Fine-tune pre-trained machine learning models (e. g., NLP, LLMs, CV models) for domain-specific applications.
- Design and implement training pipelines for supervised fine-tuning, instruction tuning, and parameter-efficient tuning (LoRA, adapters, etc. ).
- Work with large datasets: data cleaning, preprocessing, augmentation, and labeling strategies.
- Optimize models for performance, latency, and cost (quantization, pruning, distillation).
- Evaluate model performance using appropriate metrics and benchmarking techniques.
- Deploy models into production using scalable infrastructure (APIs, batch/real-time systems).
- Collaborate with product, data, and engineering teams to translate business requirements into ML solutions.
- Monitor models in production and implement continuous improvement pipelines.
- 5+ years of experience in Machine Learning / Deep Learning.
- Strong hands-on experience with fine-tuning pre-trained models (e. g., Transformers, CNNs, etc. ).
- Proficiency in Python and ML frameworks such as PyTorch / TensorFlow.
- Experience with libraries like Hugging Face Transformers, PEFT, or similar.
- Solid understanding of model training concepts: overfitting, regularization, and hyperparameter tuning.
- Experience with distributed training or large-scale data processing.
- Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS / GCP / Azure).
- Strong understanding of evaluation metrics and experimentation.
- Experience with LLMs (instruction tuning, RLHF, prompt optimization).
- Exposure to vector databases and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG).
- Knowledge of MLOps tools (MLflow, Kubeflow, Airflow, etc. ).
- Experience optimizing models for inference (ONNX, TensorRT, quantization).
- Background in a specific domain (e. g., fintech, healthtech, e-commerce).
- Strong problem-solving mindset with a bias toward shipping solutions.
- Ability to work in ambiguous, fast-paced environments.
- Ownership of the end-to-end ML lifecycle from data to deployment.
