I am primarily interested in productising language models- e.g. fine-tuning and evaluating models for use cases, building more efficient implementation for production. I've spent the past two years on building my own startups (no PMF, did not get past pre-sales, but really enjoyed all the user interviews), and was a ML engineer at an e-commerce platform (Shopee) in SEA. I enjoy customer-facing roles and am looking for forward deployed engineer or AI engineer roles. Lastly, I graduated from National University of Singapore with Highest Distinction in Computer Science. Thanks for reading and do reach out to me if you think I'm a good fit!

Hi! Second this- I don't find any jobs page as well. I am based in Asia, and will be happy to help spearhead the effort if your team ever wish to develop here.

Here's my LinkedIn so that you can see if I'll be a good fit for the roles you've in mind: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jie-poh-813748159/

Thank you!

You may want to look at Ghost by John O Nolan, I believe he open sources the code while the company is making a very healthy amount of revenue.
