• Work with WhatsApp Business API, Viber API, less Telegram API.
• Improve LLM model performance for real-time applications.

Building LLM-Based Systems on Private Servers

• Optimize GPT, BERT, T5 performance on GPU servers.
• Implement Kubernetes/Docker for scalable AI model deployment.
• Apply quantization techniques (GPTQ, LoRA) to reduce memory footprint and improve inference speed.

Developing Computer Vision Systems

• Build object detection, OCR (Optical Character Recognition), and video analytics systems.
• Optimize YOLO, CLIP, Detectron2 models for real-time applications.
• Automate data annotation and labeling for CV model training.

AI Infrastructure & MLOps Development

• Implement CI/CD pipelines for automated ML model training and deployment.
• Develop MLOps automation workflows for large-scale AI solutions.
• Utilize AWS SageMaker, GCP AI Platform, Azure AI for rapid AI development and deployment.
• Monitor model performance and track key metrics for continuous improvement.
   

Requirements:

• 5+ years of experience in Machine Learning: NLP, and Computer Vision.
• Hands-on experience with LLMs (GPT, LLaMA, Claude, T5, BERT, Mistral, DeepSeek).
• Experience deploying LLM-based solutions on private servers with GPU acceleration.
• Proven track record of integrating AI models into messaging platforms (Viber, WhatsApp).
• Strong understanding of LLM optimization techniques (Quantization, Pruning, Knowledge Distillation).
• Experience in Computer Vision applications (object detection, OCR, automated annotation).
• Experience with managing the confidentional data according to GDPR
   

Technical Skills:

• Programming Languages: Python (PyTorch, TensorFlow, JAX, NumPy, OpenCV).
• ML Frameworks: Hugging Face Transformers, LangChain, SpaCy, OpenCV, MMDetection.
• LLM & CV Optimization: GPTQ, LoRA, Knowledge Distillation.
• Databases & Vector Search Systems: PostgreSQL, MongoDB, FAISS, Pinecone, Weaviate.
• Network APIs & DevOps: FastAPI, Flask, REST, gRPC, WebSockets.
• Cloud Services: AWS (EC2, Lambda, SageMaker), GCP, Azure AI.
• Infrastructure & MLOps: Docker, Kubernetes, MLflow, DVC, TensorRT, NVIDIA Triton.
   

Additional Skills:

• Experience with NLP automation processes (pre-training, data annotation).
• Understanding of ethical AI principles (GPT hallucination prevention, safe CV usage).
• Experience with Edge AI (deploying ML models on Jetson Nano, Coral TPU, Movidius).
• Strong analytical skills for AI model performance optimization in high-load environments.
   

What do we offer?

• Competitive compensation;
• Flexible work schedule, part-time work;
• Remote work;
• Opportunity to communicate with experienced teams.
   

If you have such experience and are ready to work for quality and results, we will be happy to continue our communication. We are waiting for your resume.
