Fine-Tuning & Post-Training Engineer is a remote, evaluated AI work role in ai engineering & deployment on the GoMeasure AI talent network. Adapt foundation models to a domain through fine-tuning, preference data and distillation. You apply once, complete a skills evaluation, and get matched to paid contract work — no repeated interviews.
About the Role
GoMeasure Platform runs goTalentOS — a specialised marketplace for AI workers, where engineers and domain experts don't only review and improve AI systems but also build and deploy them. We're looking for a Fine-Tuning & Post-Training Engineer to join this network on a flexible, contract basis. Adapt foundation models to a domain through fine-tuning, preference data and distillation. You'll work remotely, pick up engagements matched to your expertise, and be paid hourly for work that ships.
Key Responsibilities
- Run supervised fine-tuning and preference-optimisation cycles end to end.
- Design and curate training and preference datasets, including rater guidelines.
- Build reproducible training pipelines with tracked experiments.
- Distil large models into cheaper ones while holding quality on target tasks.
- Decide honestly when fine-tuning is the wrong answer versus prompting or retrieval.
Required Qualifications
Domain Expertise
- Hands-on fine-tuning or post-training of transformer models with measured outcomes.
- Strong data judgement — you know dataset quality dominates method choice.
- Able to report results with correct baselines and no cherry-picking.
Ways of Working
- Comfortable working independently and asynchronously in a remote, engagement-based setup.
- Strong written communication — decisions and trade-offs are recorded, not just made.
- Able to hand work over cleanly: another engineer can pick it up from your documentation.
How It Works
- Fully remote, contract engagements sized to your availability.
- Paid hourly at a rate set by role, seniority and verified skill level.
- Your skills are verified once through GoMeasure and reused across engagements.
