* Architect and build scalable ML infrastructure powering LLM training and post-training workflows, including supervised fine-tuning, reinforcement learning, and continuous learning from live traffic
* Transform real-world customer interactions into high-quality training signals, enabling continuous model improvement and better customer experiences
* Build and optimize post-training and RL systems, including reward modeling, policy optimization, data collection loops.
* Drive experimentation and iteration velocity by building tooling and frameworks that enable rapid hypothesis testing, signal validation, and model quality improvements
* Partner closely with applied scientists to translate frontier techniques (e.g., RLHF, agentic workflows, multi-turn optimization) into reliable, production-grade systems
* Own systems end-to-end, including design, implementation, deployment, observability, and operational excellence
* Raise the engineering bar through technical leadership, design reviews, and mentorship, influencing best practices across the organization
