Job Title: Senior AI Engineer (LLM Architecture & Optimization)

Role Overview
We are seeking a Senior AI Engineer with a deep foundation in neural network architectures to lead the curation, optimization, and scaling of our language models. You will be responsible for building multilingual datasets from scratch, performing surgical modifications on transformer layer weights, implementing advanced dimension reduction on latent spaces, and deploying highly optimized quantized models into production serving engines.





Work Structure
Format: Hybrid (eventually onsite in South Korea)
Compensation: As per industry Standard - commensurate with experience
Joining: Immediate if possible

Key Responsibilities

-Neural Network Optimization: Analyze and manipulate internal neural network layer matrices ($W_q, W_k, W_v, W_{gate}$) to safely perform post-training quantization and minimize perplexity degradation.
-Dataset Engineering: Architect the end-to-end data pipeline, including sourcing, filtering, and normalizing diverse multilingual open-source datasets (e.g., Aya, Flores) to expand the model's linguistic capabilities.
- Latent Space Manipulation: Design and implement high-density dimension reduction workflows (e.g., Matryoshka Representation Learning) on hidden states to optimize embedding pipelines without losing semantic meaning.
- High-Throughput Serving: Deploy optimized models directly into vLLM, configur
