## About the Role

* PhD or Master's degree in Computer Science, Machine Learning, or related field.
 * 8+ years of experience in applied AI/ML, with a strong track record of delivering production-grade models.

Deep expertise in:

 * LLM training and fine-tuning (e.g., GPT, LLaMA, Mistral, Qwen)
 * Graph-based retrieval systems (GraphRAG, knowledge graphs)
 * Embedding models (e.g., BGE, E5, SimCSE)
 * Semantic search and vector databases (e.g., FAISS, Weaviate, Milvus)
 * Document segmentation and preprocessing (OCR, layout parsing)
 * Distributed training frameworks (NCCL, Horovod, DeepSpeed)
 * High-performance networking (InfiniBand, RDMA)
 * Model fusion and ensemble techniques (stacking, boosting, gating)
 * Optimization algorithms (Bayesian, Particle Swarm, Genetic Algorithms)
 * Symbolic AI and rule-based systems
 * Meta-learning and Mixture of Experts architectures
 * Reinforcement learning (e.g., RLHF, PPO, DPO)

Bonus Skills

 * Experience with healthcare data and medical coding systems (e.g., CPT, CM, PCS).
 * Familiarity with regulatory and compliance frameworks in AI deployment.
 * Contributions to open-source AI projects or published research. And/Or ability to take research papers to poc production.

## Description

* Lead end-to-end training and fine-tuning of Large Language Models (LLMs), including both open-source (e.g., Qwen, LLaMA, Mistral) and closed-source (e.g., OpenAI, Gemini, Anthropic) ecosystems.
 * Architect and implement GraphRAG pipelines, including knowledge graph representation and retrieval for enhanced contextual grounding.
 * Design, train, and optimize semantic and dense vector embeddings for document understanding, search, and retrieval.
 * Develop semantic retrieval systems with advanced document segmentation and indexing strategies.
 * Build and scale distributed training environments using NCCL and InfiniBand for multi-GPU and multi-node training.
 * Apply reinforcement learning techniques (e.g., RLHF, RLAIF) to align model behavior with human preferences and domain-specific goals.
 * Collaborate with cross-functional teams to translate business needs into AI-driven solutions and deploy them in production environments.
