About the role
- Design high-precision, schema-guided prompts for structured extraction and complex decision logic over long documents, with careful management of versioned JSON schemas and downstream compatibility.
- Build modular, multi-step LLM workflows by decomposing complex problems into clearly defined stages, managing intermediate state, and ensuring reliable, production-ready execution.
- Debug and improve outputs by analyzing failure modes and implementing guardrails such as schema validation and retries, constrained decoding, deterministic tools or retrieval, and rule-based post-processing.
- Maintain a versioned prompt library and contribute prompt patterns and best practices, including standardizing approaches that have proven effective via evaluation sets, A/B testing, and quality metrics.
- Contribute to AI strategy: suggest changes to how we orchestrate and use AI to advance our business goals, particularly as we grow. We’re always open to new frameworks and techniques!
