About the role

The role is required to use client’s internal tools to leverage prompt engineering techniques to maximize model performance.

Responsibilities

  • Utilize Automatic Prompt Generation (APG) tools to create baseline prompts for complex parent-child template clusters.
  • Run and supervise Automated Prompt Optimization (APO) tool, review the outputs, and flag when the APO reaches deadlocks or plateaus.
  • Manually draft, test, and refine prompts to navigate complex template architectures, overcome anti-patterns, and handle edge cases where tooling is lacking or broken. Solve edge-case scenarios by designing and refining manual prompts.
  • Monitor shadowbot runs to ensure sufficient disagreements (between human and LLM ratings) are registered, generated, and tracked.
  • Run prompt versions against established gold data to continuously measure autorater quality against the human crowd baseline, calculating accuracy metrics such as F1 scores, precision, and recall.
  • Draft technical launch readiness justifications (Launch Certification Documentation) for final.

  • Prompt Engineering & AI Expertise: At least 4 years' experience as Prompt Engineer. Proven experience tuning Large Language Models (LLMs) for strict, structured outputs, complex classification tasks, and familiarity with chain-of-thought and few-shot learning.
  • Data Analysis: Strong proficiency in identifying error patterns, analyzing model performance, and using SQL or other data analytics tools.
  • Technical Agility: Ability to quickly learn and master proprietary tools with minimal supervision.
  • Communication: Excellent verbal and written communication skills.

Preferred skills

  • Familiarity with enterprise-grade LLM interfaces like the Goose API.
  • Experience in AI model evaluation, data science, computational linguistics, or software engineering.
  • Hands-on experience with Automated Prompt Optimization (APO) systems or tuning workflows.
  • Linguistic expertise, including an understanding of semantics and logic.
