Skills named most: Python, LLMs, agentic systems, NumPy, version control, testing, synthetic data generation, fine-tuning, SFT, LoRA/PEFT, reward modeling, quality controls

Locations: Postings list European Union (5), United States (5), New York City Metropolitan Area (On-site) (1), Europe (1), New York, NY / Los Angeles, CA, United States (1), European Union, Kazakhstan, Georgia, Armenia, Serbia (1), European Union, Serbia, Georgia (1), Latin America (1), and USA (1).

You'd fit if you have Python, NumPy, Pandas, hands-on LLM, SFT and RLHF/RLAIF work, plus version control and testing, for the Freelance Forward Deployed AI Engineer roles (United States or European Union).
You'd fit if you have a STEM background, strong consulting experience, and experience with LLM fine-tuning, model hosting and IT infrastructure, for the Program Director — Enterprise Fine-Tuning roles (United States or European Union).
You'd fit if you have B2B product marketing, positioning and messaging, and self-service platform experience, for the Product Marketing Manager roles (Europe or United States).

How to use this

If you're applying: If you have Python and LLM fine-tuning or consulting experience, look at the Program Director, Forward Deployed AI Engineer and Technical Consultant roles. Note that the engineer and consultant roles are freelance. Other Delivery roles want different profiles: the New York Moderator wants hospitality or user-research experience, and the Data Partnerships Lead wants business development experience. Check the listed locations and the STEM background requirement before applying; none of the roles are marked remote.

If you're selling or recruiting: Delivery is the largest department, with 9 of 17 open roles, so start with the Delivery hiring lead about the enterprise fine-tuning and forward deployed roles. 10 of the 17 roles are freelance, so contractor sourcing is the likely fit. The two Product Marketing roles and the new Data Partnerships function point to separate contacts.
