Full Job Description
At Kallikor, we're building the future of supply chain intelligence through AI-powered simulation digital twins. We create living digital representations of real-world operations (warehouses, distribution networks, global logistics) that help organisations make better decisions faster. We're at an inflection point: moving from AI-assisted tools to domain-specific AI that understands supply chains as deeply as our best engineers do. You'll be instrumental in building our first domain-specific language model (DSLM) and the foundation for Project Genome, an ambitious initiative to capture and synthesise the world's supply chain knowledge into actionable intelligence. This is a production engineering role first. You'll build robust Python systems that happen to train and serve LLMs, not the other way around. We need someone who writes production-quality code, debugs complex distributed systems, and thinks about reliability, who has learned ML/LLMs as powerful tools in their engineering arsenal. You'll work across our entire AI stack: building FastAPI services that serve models, creating training pipelines that process production data, deploying inference endpoints with proper monitoring, and integrating all of this into our existing Python backend. The ML is important, but the engineering discipline is what makes it production-ready. Learn more at kallikor.ai http://kallikor.ai. YOUR OPPORTUNITY - Build production AI systems: Design and implement the full stack, from FastAPI endpoints that handle requests, to training pipelines that process data, to inference services that serve predictions. You'll own the architecture, not just the model weights. - Train and deploy our DSLM: Fine-tune models using Unsloth/Axolotl, but more importantly, build the robust infrastructure around it - data pipelines that feed training, evaluation frameworks that catch regressions, deployment systems that handle failover. Make it production-grade. - Integrate ML into our backend: We use FastA
