About the Role

We build the fastest GPU compiler in the world, enabling customers to turn their dataset into a specialist model in days. This role involves owning the end-to-end modeling process, including SFT, RL, DPO, designing evaluations, and distillation.

Responsibilities

  • Own the post-training pipeline end-to-end: data curation, SFT, preference optimization, RL, evals, distillation and finally deployment
  • Design reward functions and RL looks along customer domain experts
  • Build an eval harness trustworthy enough to make a ship/no-ship call within a short window
  • Structure and generate datasets, including synthetic data pipelines
  • Distill specialist models down into smaller models
  • Drive the time-to-model by identifying and removing critical path bottlenecks
  • Embed with customers as a forward-deployed researcher and hand over pipelines cleanly

Requirements

  • Shipped post-trained models into production and can discuss tradeoffs
  • Hands-on depth across SFT and RL (DPO, GRPO, PPO or similar)
  • Ability to judge evaluation honestly: what to measure, what a result means, and when a number is misleading
  • Comfortable owning data: curation, filtering, labeling workflows and synthetic generation
  • Proficient in PyTorch or JAX
  • Willing to collaborate with customers' domain experts to translate intuition into reward functions
