Job Title: AI/ML MLOps Engineer – LLM Fine-Tuning & Deployment

Experience: 5–8 Years

Location: Hyderabad
Employment Type: Full-Time, Hybrid
We are looking for an experienced AI/ML MLOps Engineer with strong hands-on expertise in LLM fine-tuning, model deployment, AWS GPU infrastructure, and MLOps. The role involves fine-tuning and deploying self-hosted Large Language Models (LLMs), building training and evaluation pipelines, and implementing reliable production deployment and monitoring practices.The ideal candidate should have practical experience working across the complete ML lifecycle — data preparation, model fine-tuning, evaluation, deployment, monitoring, and continuous improvement.

 

Key Responsibilities


  • Fine-tune Large Language Models using Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT) and Direct Preference Optimization (DPO).
  • Develop and maintain training data pipelines, including data transformation, formatting, deduplication, filtering, and quality validation.
  • Work extensively with the Hugging Face ecosystem, including Transformers, Datasets, and PEFT.
  • Build and automate model evaluation and benchmarking frameworks to assess model quality and performance.
  • Deploy and serve LLM models using AWS GPU/EC2 infrastructure and Amazon SageMaker.
  • Optimize models for production through model quantization, inference optimization, and resource utilization.
  • Build robust MLOps and ML CI/CD pipelines covering model training, evaluation, packaging, deployment, and monitoring.
  • Implement A/B testing, Canary, and Shadow-mode deployments for safely introducing new model versions into production.
  • Develop mechanisms for automated model promotion and rollback based on predefined performance and operational metrics.
  • Implement production monitoring for model performance, latency, throughput, errors, GPU utilization, and resource consumption.
  • Containerize ML workloads using Docker and deploy/manage them using Kubernetes/Amazon EKS.
  • Collaborate with Data Scientists, ML Engineers, DevOps teams, and other stakeholders to build scalable and reliable AI/ML solutions.


Requirements


  • Strong programming experience in Python.
  • Hands-on experience with LLM fine-tuning, particularly SFT and DPO.
  • Strong knowledge of Hugging Face Transformers, Datasets, and PEFT.
  • Experience working with AWS GPU/EC2 and SageMaker for ML workloads.
  • Strong understanding of MLOps, ML CI/CD, and model lifecycle management.
  • Experience with LLM model serving and production deployment.
  • Experience building training data preparation and processing pipelines.
  • Knowledge of model evaluation, benchmarking, and performance optimization.
  • Hands-on experience with model quantization.
  • Experience implementing A/B, Canary, and Shadow-mode deployments
