We're building the future of Autonomous Data Intelligence at CyberPod AIand were looking for a deeply technical, hands-on AI Engineer to push the boundaries of whats possible with Large Language Models (LLMs).

This role is for someone whos already been in the trenches: fine-tuned foundation models, experimented with quantization and performance tuning, and knows PyTorch inside out. If youre passionate about optimizing LLMs, crafting effective reasoning architectures, and contributing to open-source communities like Hugging Face, this is your playground.

What You'll Do
- Fine-tune Large Language Models (LLMs) on custom datasets for specialized reasoning tasks.
- Design and run benchmarking pipelines across accuracy, speed, token throughput, and energy efficiency.
- Implement quantization, pruning, and distillation techniques for model compression and deployment readiness.
- Evaluate and extend agentic RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) pipelines and reasoning agents.
- Contribute to SOTA model architectures for multi-hop, temporal, and multimodal reasoning.




- Collaborate closely with the data engineering, infra, and applied research teams to bring ideas from paper to production.
- Own and drive experiments, ablations, and performance dashboards end-to-end.

Requirements
- 3+ years of hands-on experience working with deep learning and large models, particularly LLMs.
- Strong understanding of PyTorch internals: autograd, memory profiling, efficient dataloaders, mixed precision.
- Proven track record in fine-tuning LLMs (e.g., LLaMA, Falcon, Mistral, Open LLaMA, T5, etc.) on real-world use cases.
- Benchmarking skills: can run standardized evals (e.g., MMLU, GSM8K, HELM, TruthfulQA) and interpret metrics.
- Deep familiarity with quantization techniques: GPTQ, AWQ, QLoRA, bitsandbytes, and low-bit inference.
- Working knowledge of Hugging Face ecosystem (Transformers, Accelerate, Datasets, Evaluate).
- Active Hugging Face profile with at least one public model/repo
