- Develop prompting, context engineering, structured outputs and tool‑calling techniques to improve model behaviour.
- Create evaluation frameworks and datasets to measure AI quality, reliability and regressions.
- Debug AI systems across the stack—from model behaviour and prompts to backend services and product UX.
Required profile
- Strong software engineering fundamentals with experience building AI‑powered applications.
- Hands‑on experience with LLMs, generative AI or agent‑based systems.
- Ability to design prompts, workflows, evaluations and improve AI behaviour.
