Senior LLM Engineer - Large Language Models / Transformer Models / Deep Learning / PyTorch

We're currently supporting an organization at the forefront of AI and quantum-inspired technologies, and they're looking to bring in both Mid and Senior level LLM Engineers to join their growing team.

This is a great opportunity to work on genuinely cutting-edge problems, combining Large Language Models with novel approaches to improve performance, efficiency, and scalability across a range of real-world applications.

The role:

You’ll be working closely with research and engineering teams to design, build, and optimise LLMs, while contributing to the wider direction of AI development within the business.

This is a permanent position, working on a hybrid model, in the Barcelona region of Spain.

What will you do?

• Design and develop techniques to compress and optimise LLMs using quantum-inspired approaches
• Evaluate model performance, running benchmarks, and identifying areas for improvement
• Fine-tune and enhance models for accuracy, robustness, and efficiency
• Act as a subject matter expert for LLM-related challenges and opportunities
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate models into production systems
• Support and mentor junior engineers
• Contribute to code reviews and best practices
• Keep up with the latest advancements in LLM and NLP research

What they're looking for:

For Mid level:

• 3+ years experience working with transformer models and LLMs

For Senior level:

• 5+ years experience across deep learning, including transformers and ideally other domains such as computer vision

For both:

• Strong Python skills with frameworks such as PyTorch and HuggingFace
• Solid understanding of deep learning theory and neural networks
• Experience developing training models / building LLM’s from scratch
• Good understanding of GPU architectures and performance optimisation
• Experience with AWS, Docker, and deploying models in cloud environments
• Strong problem-solving and communication skills

Bonus points for:

• Experience with RAG systems, TensorRT, vLLM, or similar inference tools
• HPC or large-scale training environments
• Exposure to MLOps or DevOps practices
• Research background or publications in deep learning
• Spanish language skills

Visa sponsorship for Spain can be facilitated, so international applicants are encouraged
