About This Role
We are seeking a Machine Learning Operations (ML Ops) Engineer to contribute to the development of cutting-edge AI solutions for legal contract analysis. You will be part of our growing ML team, working closely with our ML engineer, NLP engineer and Backend engineers.
Key Responsibilities
Improving and maintaining our legal evaluation platform:
Drive continuous enhancements to our state-of-the-art legal evaluation platform by developing innovative evaluation frameworks and ensuring its robust, scalable, and precise operation.
Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to create new methodologies that empower our legal experts to rigorously assess LLM output quality while ensuring the platform remains adaptive to evolving challenges and technological advances.
Establishing a Continuous Auto-Evaluation Framework:
Develop and deploy an automated system that continuously monitors and validates our LLM outputs against stringent quality thresholds.
Incorporate real-time performance metrics, anomaly detection, and proactive remediation triggers—ensuring that any dip in response quality is promptly identified and corrected.
Integrate feedback loops that sustain our commitment to excellence, thereby ensuring our platform maintains consistently high standards.
Designing a Load Balancing Framework for LLM API Calls:
Architect and deploy a dynamic load balancing system that intelligently distributes API calls across multiple LLM endpoints.
Implement robust fallback mechanisms to automatically reroute traffic when an LLM instance is down or reaching usage quotas.
Integrate real-time health monitoring and performance analytics to assess endpoint availability and adjust routing in real time.
Deploying and Maintaining Proprietary LLM Models with Training and Fine-Tuning Support:
Deploy and scale in-house LLM models to ensure reliable and high-performance operations tailored to our unique legal evaluation needs.
Establish automated pipelines that streamline the training, fine-tuning, and deployment processes, ensuring continuous model improvement and adaptation.
Collaborate closely with ML and NLP teams to integrate the latest techniques, rigorous evaluation metrics, and industry best practices into the training workflow.
Implement proactive monitoring and maintenance protocols to quickly identify and address performance bottlenecks or operational issues.
About You
We're looking for teammates who possess:
Proven expertise in Python with hands-on experience using Flask, along with a willingness to explore and adapt to new frameworks when necessary.
A robust background in deploying, maintaining, and fine-tuning ML models, with a focus on developing automated evaluation and load balancing frameworks.
Demonstrated experience in working with large language models (LLMs) and establishing continuous auto-evaluation pipelines. For example, you may have built systems that monitor key performance metrics (e.g., latency, quality scores) in real time, or used an open-source framework such as DeepEval or Phoenix.
At least 2 years of relevant experience, ideally within startup environments, showcasing a resourceful and proactive approach to addressing evolving challenges.
The ability to work closely with ML, NLP, and backend engineers to drive cutting-edge AI solutions tailored for legal contract analysis.
While not a necessity, basic knowledge of HTML/JS is a plus, enhancing your contributions within a full-stack development context.
A customer-centric approach coupled with strong analytical skills to ensure the platform's robust, scalable, and precise operation.
