Job Title: LLM Engineer (GCP Preferred)
Work Time Zone: EST
Rate: $60/hour on 1099/C2C
Location: Atlanta, GA (Hybrid – 3 days on-site)
We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated LLM Engineer to design, build, and deploy advanced large language model (LLM) solutions that enhance procurement workflows and drive business automation. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in natural language processing, deep learning, and AI agent design, with hands-on experience fine-tuning foundation models and deploying them on Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
Key Responsibilities:
- AI Agent Development
Design and implement LLM-powered AI agents that optimize and automate procurement-related tasks, ensuring reliability, explainability, and business alignment. - Model Fine-Tuning & Optimization
Fine-tune foundation models for domain-specific tasks, focusing on accuracy, latency, and scalability. Apply techniques such as parameter-efficient fine-tuning, prompt tuning, and adapter training. - Pipeline Engineering
Build and maintain robust, production-grade pipelines for data ingestion, model training, evaluation, and inference using GCP services and open-source tools. - Prompt Engineering & RAG Implementation
Leverage prompt engineering and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) to improve contextual accuracy and relevance of model outputs. - Stakeholder Collaboration
Work closely with procurement experts, data engineers, and business leaders to gather requirements, align goals, and deliver impactful AI solutions. - Model Evaluation & Monitoring
Establish evaluation metrics and monitoring tools to track model performance, accuracy, bias, and drift in real-world applications. - Integration & Deployment
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate LLMs into existing systems, leveraging LangChain, LangGraph, and GCP AI tools like Vertex AI for seamless deployment.
Must-Have Qualifications:
- Master’s degree in mathematics, Physics, Computer Science,
- 7 – 10 + years of experience in NLP, LLM development, or AI-driven automation.
- Expertise in Python and deep learning frameworks such as PyTorch and TensorFlow.
- Proficiency with LangChain, LangGraph, Hugging Face Transformers, and LLM model hubs.
- Experience fine-tuning large-scale models and optimizing for real-time inference.
- Solid understanding of vector databases, knowledge graphs, and embedding techniques.
- Strong communication skills with the ability to translate complex AI concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
- Proven experience working with Google Cloud Platform (GCP), especially with services like Vertex AI, BigQuery, and Cloud Functions.
- Familiarity with multi-agent systems and reinforcement learning is a strong plus.
