AI Engineer (Prompt)

Role Overview

We are seeking a Senior AI Engineer with strong expertise in Prompt Engineering, LLM fine-tuning, and Small Language Model (SLM) development to design, train, optimize, and deploy domain-specialised language models.

A key focus of this role will be engineering high-performance prompts for 8B-class models (such as LLaMA, Mistral, and Qwen) and transitioning these prompts into fine-tuned models for production reliability.

You will design prompt architectures, instruction schemas, and evaluation pipelines that ensure models produce accurate, structured, and deterministic outputs suitable for enterprise automation workflows.

Key Responsibilities

• Design production-grade prompt architectures for 8B-class models.
• Develop structured prompts for enterprise tasks such as classification, extraction, reasoning, and summarization.
• Optimize prompts for accuracy, latency, and cost efficiency.
• Build prompt evaluation frameworks to measure accuracy, hallucination rates, and consistency.
• Design reusable prompt libraries and prompt templates for enterprise workflows.
• Develop prompt-to-model migration strategies converting high-performing prompts into fine-tuned SLMs.
• Design and fine-tune LLMs for domain-specific enterprise tasks.
• Develop Small Language Models (SLMs) optimized for enterprise deployment.
• Build instruction tuning and supervised fine-tuning (SFT) pipelines.
• Design evaluation datasets and automated benchmarking frameworks.
• Implement retrieval augmented generation (RAG) pipelines and tool-augmented workflows.
• Collaborate with speech AI and document AI teams to build multimodal systems.
• Deploy models in private cloud or on-premise environments with strong security controls.
