Opportunity details

About this role.

 We are seeking a Prompt Engineer to be responsible for the end-to-end technical migration workflow for transitioning templates to LLM autoraters. 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.

Requirement:

  • Language Skills: Native fluency in French and fluent in English.

  • Location: Must be based in France.

  • Education: Bachelor’s, Master’s, or Doctorate degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Computational Linguistics, Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Cognitive Science, or a related analytical field. 

  • 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. 

Optional / 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.

Sample interview questions
How would you approach optimizing a prompt for a strict multi-class classification task?

I would first define the output schema and evaluation criteria, establish a baseline prompt, and test it against representative gold data. I would analyze failure patterns by class and error type, then iteratively apply clear instructions, few-shot examples, constraints, and targeted edge-case guidance while measuring precision, recall, and F1 after each change.

What would you do if an Automated Prompt Optimization workflow reached a plateau?

I would validate that the evaluation set is representative and inspect the optimizer outputs for repeated failure modes or conflicting instructions. I would then manually formulate hypotheses, simplify or restructure the prompt, add targeted examples for difficult cases, and retest changes against both gold data and broader validation samples.

How do you ensure that improvements to an LLM prompt generalize beyond a gold dataset?

I separate development, validation, and holdout examples, including adversarial and edge-case samples where possible. I track metrics by segment rather than relying only on an aggregate score, review qualitative errors, and use shadow runs against human ratings to detect regressions or overfitting.

Describe how you would investigate disagreement between human raters and an LLM autorater.

I would first verify annotation guidelines and the consistency of the human labels, then categorize disagreements by ambiguity, missing context, label-boundary issues, and model reasoning failures. Based on the analysis, I would improve the prompt, examples, or decision criteria and document any cases requiring a policy clarification rather than a prompt-only solution.

How would you document launch readiness for a new autorater prompt version?

I would summarize the prompt version, target task, data coverage, evaluation methodology, quantitative results, known limitations, and comparison with the human baseline. The documentation would include unresolved risks, rollback criteria, monitoring requirements, and evidence that key edge cases and output-format requirements were validated.
