LLM Engineer

About the role

Bright Vision Technologies is seeking an LLM Engineer to join our dynamic team. This role involves designing, executing, and operationalizing fine-tuning workflows for large language models using various techniques. You will work closely with cross-functional partners to translate requirements into well-engineered solutions.

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

Requirements

• 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 Qualifications

• Publications at top-tier ML venues
• Experience with multimodal model fine-tuning
• Familiarity with synthetic data generation and dataset distillation
• Open-source contributions to LLM training libraries
• Exposure to responsible AI evaluation and red-teaming practices
