Lead the LLM team, owning the architecture, training, and deployment of models powering the core product. Act as a player/coach by architecting the system, mentoring the team, and actively writing production code primarily in Python/PyTorch. Optimize the core chat loop focusing on context windows, memory/RAG retrieval, and inference latency to deliver a seamless real-time user experience. Drive the strategy for model lifecycle management including supervised fine-tuning (SFT), reinforcement learning with human feedback (RLHF), and direct preference optimization (DPO), deciding when to prompt, fine-tune, or architect new retrieval-augmented generation pipelines. Manage the data engine involving sourcing, labeling, and cleaning datasets to enhance model steerability and multicultural performance. Architect and build high-precision moderation systems by designing and training custom classifiers to detect and filter non-consensual or illegal content in an explicit environment, moving beyond binary safe/unsafe flags towards nuanced, context-aware moderation.
