🚀 Join our AI team and lead the data operations that power our next-generation LLMs

About the Role
We're seeking a Machine Learning Data Operations / Data Annotation Lead who has built models end-to-end and has hands-on experience training LLMs, with some manufacturing domain knowledge. You'll own the entire data lifecycle—from annotation workflows to model deployment—and lead teams that create the high-quality datasets powering our AI systems.
This is a senior technical leadership role for someone who has done this before, not learned about it.

Candidates with hands-on experience in text-based (NLP) data labeling and annotation are encouraged to apply; experience focused only on image/computer vision annotation will not be considered.

Must-Have Experience (Non-Negotiable)

🎯 Data Annotation Mastery

  • Built and scaled data labeling workflows from scratch
  • Created annotation rubrics and guidelines for complex datasets
  • Trained and managed annotator teams (10+ people)
  • Implemented inter-annotator agreement (IAA) processes and QA systems
  • Experience with gold seeding and quality control mechanisms

🛠️ Platform & Tools Expertise

  • Hands-on experience with Label Studio, Argilla, Labelbox, Scale AI, or similar platforms
  • Experience setting up annotation pipelines and workflow automation

👥 Team Leadership

  • Managed teams of Subject Matter Expert (SME) annotators in technical domains
  • Experience managing annotators for Manufacturing/Mechanical Engineering use cases
  • Led cross-functional teams including data scientists, ML engineers, and domain experts

🤖 LLM Fine-Tuning (CRITICAL)

Created datasets for LLM fine-tuning including:

  • Instruction-response pairs
  • Preference ranking datasets (RLHF/DPO)
  • Task-specific fine-tuning datasets
  • Experience with supervised fine-tuning (SFT) and reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF)

📊 Pre-Training Data Operations (CRITICAL)

Hands-on experience with pre-training data preparation:

  • Data deduplication at scale
  • Content filtering and cleaning pipelines
  • Document-level metadata tracking
  • Data quality assessment and improvement

Experience with petabyte-scale data processing

🏗️ End-to-End Model Building

  • Built and trained models from data collection to deployment
  • Experience with model evaluation, validation, and monitoring
  • Understanding of MLOps and model lifecycle management

Day-to-Day Responsibilities

  • Design & implement annotation workflows for complex AI training datasets
  • Lead and scale teams of 20+ annotators across multiple domains
  • Build data pipelines for pre-training data preparation and LLM fine-tuning
  • Collaborate with ML engineers on model training requirements and data specifications
  • Establish QA processes ensuring dataset quality and consistency
  • Drive cross-functional projects from ideation to model deployment
  • Mentor junior team members and establish data operations best practices

Technical Requirements

Programming & Tools:

Python, SQL, and experience with data processing frameworks
Cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure) for large-scale data operations
ML frameworks: PyTorch, Transformers, DeepSpeed, or similar
Data pipeline tools: Airflow, Prefect, or equivalent

Domain Knowledge:

  • Deep understanding of transformer architectures and LLM training
  • Experience with manufacturing/mechanical engineering data and terminology
  • Knowledge of annotation standards and data quality metrics
  • Understanding of AI safety and alignment considerations
  • Manufacturing experience is a huge plus

What Makes You Stand Out

  • PhD or Masters in Computer Science, Machine Learning, or related field
  • 5+ years of hands-on ML data operations experience
  • Previous experience at annotation vendors (Scale AI, Appen, Labelbox, etc.)
  • Background in AI product startups or Big Tech ML operations
  • Publications or contributions to open-source ML data tools
  • Experience with multimodal data (text, image, video, audio)

Why Join Us?

  • Lead cutting-edge AI initiatives that impact millions of users
  • Competitive equity in a fast-growing AI company
  • Work with world-class ML talent and shape the future of AI
  • Remote-first culture with flexible working arrangements
  • Top-tier benefits and professional development opportunities
