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
