The role involves post-training of LLMs, model alignment, server operation for checkpoint routing, and building evaluation pipelines.
Job Responsibilities:
1. Advanced post-training of large language models (e.g. SFT, RLHF/RLAIF, continual pretraining).
2. Aligning models for reliable JSON-schema function calls and external tool usage.
3. Design, deploy, and operate Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers that handle checkpoint routing, manage context windows, and enforce safety gates.
4. Experience in distributed training and inference with DeepSpeed/FSDP, LoRA/QLoRA, mixed precision, and performance tuning on vLLM or Triton clusters.
5. Build offline and live eval pipelines for alignment, factuality, grounding, and hallucinations.
Qualifications
1. Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, or a related field.
2. 3+ years of experience in developing and optimizing large language models.
3. Proven track record in implementing advanced post-training techniques (SFT, RLHF, RLAIF, continual pretraining).
4. Hands-on experience with distributed training frameworks (DeepSpeed, FSDP) and optimization techniques (LoRA, QLoRA, mixed precision).
5. Familiarity with model alignment, JSON-schema function calls, and external tool integration.
6. Experience in building and maintaining evaluation pipelines for model performance assessment.
7. Proficiency in Python and relevant machine learning frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow).
8. Strong understanding of distributed systems and high-performance computing.
9. Experience with model deployment and inference optimization on vLLM or Triton clusters.
10. Knowledge of JSON-schema and API development.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene
Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.
Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech
- Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
- Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
- Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
- Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
- Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
- Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
