Deep, hands on expertise in LLM post-training (SFT, DPO), knowledge distillation (teacher student training), and/or reinforcement learning (RLHF/RLAIF, PPO/GSPO, and reward modelling). Strong data centric instincts for building synthetic data and preference data pipelines, LLM as judge generation, data curation and filtering, and reasoning about data mixtures and ablations. Experience designing evaluation and reward signals using automatic metrics, LLM as judge evaluation, non verifiable rewards, and human in the loop evaluation. A hands on builder who enjoys training models, running experiments, debugging pipelines, and integrating ML systems into production while staying grounded in product impact and real world quality. Ownership of a substantial research direction with strong execution, and experience mentoring others on a fast moving, applied research team. Strong coding and experimentation skills (Python, PyTorch/JAX/Tensorflow), and the ability to communicate clearly and align research with product and engineering priorities. Nice to have Demonstrated experience fine tuning and training large models at scale, including distributed/ multi node training (e.g. FSDP, DeepSpeed, or Megatron style frameworks) and efficient training techniques. Experience fine tuning existing reasoning models for specific tasks and behaviours without degrading their reasoning capabilities. Experience with machine translation, multilingual NLP, or language quality estimation. Familiarity with inference and serving at scale (e.g. via vLLM, SGLang, TensorRT LLM, etc) and long context modelling. Publications at top tier venues.
