  • Proficiency with PyTorch (preferred) or TensorFlow.
  • Skilled in prompt engineering and dataset curation for alignment with tone, safety, and trust.
  • Familiar with evaluation metrics: perplexity, toxicity, relevance.
  • Strong software engineering foundations in algorithms, data structures, and clean code practices.

Nice to Have

  • Prior work in text generation, moderation, or personalization.
  • Experience with RLHF or reinforcement learning in LLMs.
  • Contributions to open-source ML projects.

Technical Stack

  • PyTorch, TensorFlow
  • LoRA, QLoRA, SFT, distillation
