About the Role

We are looking for a highly experienced LLM/NLP Engineer to join our AI/ML team at the Associate Director level. This is a hands-on Individual Contributor role focused on developing, fine-tuning, and improving Large Language Models (LLMs) for domain-specific business applications.

Key Responsibilities

- Design, develop, and fine-tune Large Language Models (LLMs) for enterprise and domain-specific use cases.
- Perform LLM fine-tuning, supervised fine-tuning (SFT), and instruction tuning using relevant techniques.
- Work with open-source LLMs such as Llama, Mistral, Qwen, Gemma , or similar models.
- Develop NLP and Deep Learning solutions using Python, PyTorch/TensorFlow, and Hugging Face Transformers .
- Prepare, clean, and preprocess large datasets for model training and fine-tuning.




- Experiment with different models, architectures, datasets, and fine-tuning approaches to improve performance.
- Evaluate model quality and analyze results using appropriate metrics and methodologies.
- Work closely with domain experts to develop AI solutions that are accurate, relevant, and actionable.
- Explore techniques such as LoRA, QLoRA, PEFT, SFT, and RLHF where applicable.
- Identify and address model/data bias and follow responsible AI practices.
- Document experiments, methodologies, model performance, and technical approaches.
- Stay current with developments in LLMs, NLP, Generative AI, and open-source AI models .

Must-Have Skills

- 10+ years of experience in AI/ML, Machine Learning, NLP, Data Science, or related areas.
- Hands-on experience in LLM Fine-tuning – Mandatory.
- Strong experience with Large Language Models (LLMs) and Generative AI .
- Solid understanding of NLP and Deep Learning .
- Strong programming skills in Python .
- Hands-on experience with Hugging Face Transformers .
- Experience with PyTorch and/or TensorFlow .
- Experience working with Transformer-based models .
- Experience with model training, evaluation, experimentation, and optimization.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
- Experience in BFSI, Banking, Lending, Mortgage, or Financial Services .(Preferred)

Important Note This is a hands-on technical Individual Contributor role . Candidates should be comfortable working directly on LLM development, model fine-tuning, experimentation, and technical problem-solving rather than primarily focusing on people management or program management.

Candidates without hands-on LLM Fine-tuning experience will not be considered.
