About the role
- Design, train, fine-tune, and evaluate machine learning and large language models (LLMs) creating hyper-personalized and highly effective Agentic AI Systems.
- Apply context engineering and prompt engineering techniques to optimize model behavior, improve accuracy, and ensure reliability in production.
- Develop rigorous evaluation standards that not only measure system performance but also establish the gold standard for efficacy, empathy, and clinical soundness in AI-powered agents.
- Contribute to production-grade ML systems, including model deployment, monitoring, and optimization.
- Leverage MLOps tools for experiment tracking, model management, and reproducibility.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate AI into real-world applications, including direct collaboration with clinical partners.
- Proactively identify blockers, ask the right questions, and drive projects forward in ambiguous environments.
- Mentor and learn within the team—sharing knowledge on ML techniques, fine-tuning and optimization strategies, and engineering practices.
Requirements
- Strong computer science and math foundations: data structures, algorithms, linear algebra, probability, optimization.
- Solid understanding of machine learning fundamentals: supervised/unsupervised learning, regression/classification, reinforcement learning, loss functions, optimization methods, and neural network basics.
- Proven experience fine-tuning large language models for production use.
- Proficiency in Python and experience building software in production environments.
- Proficiency with Deep Learning frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, Keras, JAX, etc. and ability to reason about model architectures and training processes.
- Experience with production systems and MLOps — ability to design, debug, and maintain reliable software.
- Demonstrated experience working with LLM/GenAI APIs and tools (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic, Hugging Face).
Benefits
- A commitment to fostering flexible hybrid work
- A generous PTO policy with a minimum of three weeks off per year
