Prompt Engineer

The gap between an LLM feature that works in a demo and one that's reliable across thousands of real user inputs is almost always a prompting and evaluation gap, not a model capability gap. We design, test, and harden prompts against your actual use cases (adversarial inputs, edge cases, ambiguous requests) using structured evaluation rather than eyeballing a handful of outputs. This matters when an AI feature is giving inconsistent or wrong answers in production, or when you're building a new LLM feature and want it reliable before launch instead of after a wave of complaints. You get prompts backed by an eval set you can rerun every time you touch them, not a prompt that quietly regresses with the next model update.

This is a capability we deliver for you as a service, not a role we’re hiring for.

How We’d Approach This

A clear, staged plan, not a black box

These are the service-specific steps inside our six-step process.

1
Collect real or representative inputs, including edge cases and adversarial ones, to build an evaluation set.
2
Draft and test prompt variants against the eval set, measuring accuracy and consistency, not just plausibility.
3
Review failure cases with your team to decide what's an acceptable miss versus what needs more prompt work.
4
Finalize the prompt with the eval set attached so future model or prompt changes get tested before they ship.
