About the role

  • As an LLM Training Engineer, you'll work across the full foundation-model stack: pretraining and scaling, post-training and Reinforcement Learning, sandbox environments for evaluation and agentic learning, and deployment + inference optimization.
  • This role spans multiple tracks - candidates may focus on one or contribute across several.
  • Train large byte-native foundation models across massive, heterogeneous corpora

Responsibilities
