Proficiency in at least one programming language, preferably Python; familiarity with JavaScript, Java, or comparable languages is also acceptable
Understanding of large language models such as ChatGPT, Claude, or equivalent tools
Good written communication skills and meticulous attention to detail

Primary Tasks

Develop and improve prompts to support software tasks, data workflows, and automation processes
Test and validate AI outputs to ensure accuracy and security
Create tools, scripts, or services that interact with AI models via APIs
Collaborate with senior team members to enhance prompt strategies and AI integration methods
Write clear, well-structured code accompanied by documentation and basic testing
Learn best practices for AI safety, hallucination mitigation, and output assessment
