Large Language Model Specialist

About the role

Bright Vision Technologies is a technology consulting and software development company delivering cloud, AI, data, and enterprise solutions across the United States. This is a fantastic opportunity to join an established and well-respected organization offering tremendous career growth potential. Position: 100% Remote (U.S.), Full-time, Direct W2. Experience required: 6+ years. Sponsorship: U.S. Citizens, Green Card Holders, EAD Holders, and H-1B transfer candidates are encouraged to apply; we are unable to sponsor new H-1B visa petitions for this position.

Responsibilities

• Design and execute fine-tuning experiments for large language models using supervised, DPO, RLHF, and related techniques.
• Lead dataset construction, curation, and quality assurance processes for instruction tuning and preference data.
• Build scalable training pipelines on top of modern distributed training frameworks.
• Tune hyperparameters, optimizer configurations, and training stability strategies for large-model fine-tuning.
• Implement parameter-efficient fine-tuning techniques such as LoRA, QLoRA, and adapter-based methods.
• Design rigorous evaluation suites including automated benchmarks, human evaluation, and capability-specific probes.
• Implement safety, refusal, and policy evaluations to track model behavior across releases.
• Operate large-scale training jobs on GPU clusters, diagnosing failures and recovering training state reliably.
• Optimize training throughput using mixed precision, sequence packing, and efficient attention implementations.
• Manage model artifacts, lineage tracking, and reproducibility across many concurrent experiments.
• Collaborate with product, research, and platform teams to align fine-tuning roadmaps with business needs.
• Document training methodology, results, and decisions clearly for technical and non-technical audiences.
• Mentor engineers on fine-tuning best practices, evaluation rigor, and responsible deployment.
• Stay current with LLM research and translate advances into production-ready fine-tuning recipes.

Qualifications

• Master’s or PhD in Computer Science, Machine Learning, or a related field; or equivalent experience.
• Six or more years of combined ML research and engineering experience, with significant LLM exposure.
• Strong proficiency in Python and modern deep learning frameworks, especially PyTorch.
• Hands-on experience fine-tuning transformer-based language models at non-trivial scale.
• Familiarity with distributed training strategies including FSDP, ZeRO, and pipeline parallelism.
• Experience with RLHF, DPO, or other preference optimization techniques.
• Strong understanding of evaluation methodology, benchmarks, and human evaluation design.
• Experience operating training jobs on GPU clusters and recovering from failures.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Track record of shipping or publishing impactful LLM work.
• Preferred: Publications at top-tier ML venues.
• Preferred: Experience with multimodal model fine-tuning.
• Preferred: Familiarity with synthetic data generation and dataset distillation.
• Preferred: Open-source contributions to LLM training libraries.
• Preferred: Exposure to responsible AI evaluation and red-teaming practices.
