• Establishing evaluation, benchmarking, and observability standards

What You’ll Be Responsible For

Fine-Tuning & Model Strategy

• Own fine-tuning workflows (LoRA, adapters, distillation, full fine-tuning)
• Decide when to fine-tune vs optimize at the system or prompt level
• Iterate models based on production feedback
• Balance quality, latency, and cost tradeoffs

Model Optimization & Performance

• Improve inference speed and throughput

• ONNX runtime or model optimization tooling
• Experience with orchestration frameworks (e.g., LangChain)
• WebSockets, Redis, or real-time streaming systems
• Background in AI-native or code-generation products
• A PhD or advanced degree is welcomed, but demonstrated production impact is the priority.
