About The Position

Bright Vision Technologies is a technology consulting and software development company delivering cloud, AI, data, and enterprise solutions across the United States. The AI Applications Engineer will design, execute, and operationalize fine-tuning workflows for large language models across supervised, preference-based, and reinforcement learning approaches. The role requires practical experience with modern training stacks, dataset construction, evaluation methodology, and reliable operation of complex training pipelines. The engineer will balance data quality, compute budget, evaluation rigor, and delivery velocity while applying production-grade engineering practices.

The engineer will collaborate with product, design, engineering, operations, and business stakeholders to turn ambiguous requirements into well-engineered solutions. They will contribute to code and design reviews, mentor more junior engineers, and communicate clearly while shipping meaningful work that performs reliably in production.

This is a full-time, direct W-2 role that is 100% remote within the United States. The stated annual salary range is $100,000–$175,000. U.S. citizens, Green Card holders, EAD holders, and H-1B transfer candidates are encouraged to apply; the company cannot sponsor new H-1B visa petitions for this position.
