Job Description

Job Description

• We are seeking a highly skilled and hands-on Machine Learning Engineer specializing in large model post-training and alignment. This role focuses on designing, executing, and optimizing post-training pipelines to improve model performance, controllability, domain adaptation, and reasoning capabilities

• You will work across the full lifecycle of post-training—from data strategy and reward modeling to reinforcement learning–based optimization and production-grade inference deployment

• Lead and execute the full post-training pipeline for large language models (LLMs), including supervised fine-tuning, preference optimization, and reinforcement learning–based methods

• Design and implement advanced training paradigms such as DPO (Direct Preference Optimization) and GRPO (Generalized Reward Policy Optimization)

• Develop domain-specific data recipes, curation strategies, and augmentation pipelines to optimize task performance

• Conduct post-training of specialized small models from scratch, including architecture selection, dataset construction, and optimization strategy

• Build and refine Reward Models to support alignment and downstream optimization

• Design and implement RLAIF (Reinforcement Learning from AI Feedback) closed-loop systems

• Optimize inference efficiency and deploy models using low-latency serving frameworks such as vLLM and SGLang

• Evaluate model performance using both automated benchmarks and human/AI feedback loops

• Collaborate with research and infrastructure teams to productionize training and deployment workflows

Benefits

  • • Comprehensive insurance package including medical, dental, vision, disability & life insurance.
  • • Paid Parental Leave
  • • Employee Referral Bonus Program paid in BTC
  • • More surprises when you join!
