About this role

Job Title:ML / Fine-Tuning Engineer
Location: Hyderabad OR Pune
Notice Period : 0-30 Days
Mode of Work:Hybrid
Experience :5+ Years


We are looking for ML / Fine-Tuning Engineer who can deliver (under supervision of ProServe Tech Lead) the end-to-end fine-tuning of open-source LLMs for a narrow, high-volume production task on AWS — SFT and alignment experiments (GRPO, DPO), debugging training on multi-GPU clusters, and iterating to strict accuracy targets. Models from 8B to 70B parameters.

What We Expect:

  • Fine-tune open-source LLMs (Qwen, Llama) from experiment to production-ready checkpoint
  • Run SFT and RL alignment (GRPO, DPO) to improve output accuracy
  • Execute training on AWS GPU instances (p4d, p5, g5) using distributed training
  • Diagnose/fix training issues: loss imbalances, OOM errors, gradient instabilities
  • Collaborate with evaluation and data engineering to iterate on quality gaps
  • Make data-driven model scaling decisions (8B → 14B → 70B) based on offline metrics


Requirements

  • Experience: 5+ years ML engineering, with 2+ years in LLM fine-tuning
  • LLM Models: Hands-on with open-source LLMs — Qwen and Llama required
  • Training Methods: SFT, LoRA/QLoRA, GRPO, DPO/RLHF
  • Frameworks: NVIDIA NeMo/NeMoRL, VeRL, HuggingFace TRL — must have used at least two
  • Distributed Training: DeepSpeed ZeRO, FSDP2, multi-node GPU orchestration
  • AWS Infrastructure: p4d/p5/g5 GPU instances, SageMaker Training Jobs
  • Languages: Python, PyTorch; CUDA debugging a plus

Preferred (Not Required): Fine-tuning for tool-calling/agent tasks; multi-node GRPO/RLHF with NeMoRL or VeRL; tokenizer internals and chat-template rendering for tool-use formats.
