Job Summary
As an LLM Engineer at our forward-thinking education technology company, you will design, develop, and optimize large language model solutions that transform digital learning experiences. The ideal candidate is innovative and technically skilled, with a passion for applying AI to enhance educational content, personalized learning, and academic support tools. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver scalable, ethical, and high-impact LLM-powered solutions tailored to the needs of students and educators.

Must-Haves:
We are seeking a candidate with proven experience developing and deploying large language models, ideally with applications in education or e-learning. You must be proficient in Python and familiar with leading ML/AI frameworks (such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, or Hugging Face Transformers). A strong understanding of NLP, prompt engineering, and model evaluation is essential. Experience with cloud platforms and a solid grasp of data privacy and ethical AI in education are highly valued. Excellent communication skills and the ability to explain complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders are required.

Responsibilities:
  • Design, develop, and optimize LLM-based applications for educational use cases, such as adaptive tutoring, content generation, and automated assessment.
  • Fine-tune, evaluate, and maintain LLMs using relevant educational datasets and benchmarks.
  • Implement prompt engineering and in-context learning strategies to improve model performance and user experience.
  • Collaborate with educators, product managers, and engineers to align LLM solutions with pedagogical goals and user needs.
  • Develop and maintain robust, scalable APIs and services for LLM deployment in production environments.
  • Ensure data privacy, security, and compliance with educational standards and regulations.
  • Document technical processes, model architectures, and evaluation results for internal and external stakeholders.
  • Stay current with advancements in LLMs, AI ethics, and educational technology.
Required Skills:
  • Advanced proficiency in Python and experience with ML/AI frameworks (e.g., TensorFlow, PyTorch, Hugging Face Transformers).
  • Strong background in NLP, deep learning, and prompt engineering.
  • Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure) and containerization (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes).
  • Familiarity with MLOps, CI/CD pipelines, and scalable API development.
  • Ability to translate complex educational problems into efficient, AI-driven solutions.
  • Excellent communication and teamwork skills.
Certifications:
  • Certifications in AI, machine learning, or cloud platforms (e.g., AWS Certified Machine Learning, TensorFlow Developer) are a plus but not required.
Required Years of Experience
  • Minimum 3 years of experience in AI/ML engineering, with at least 1 year focused on large language models or NLP solutions.
Required Education:
  • Bachelor’s or master’s degree in computer science, Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, or a related field.
  • Advanced degrees or relevant certifications are advantageous.
