Job Summary:
As an AI Prompt Engineer at Caravel, you'll build the production layer of our AI practice — the prompts, prompt chains, and LLM-driven components that power client solutions and the internal accelerators our consultants rely on. You'll partner with our AI Specialists to turn solution designs into reliable, evaluated, production-ready builds. This is a hands-on build role for someone who cares about getting model behavior right, not just getting it to run.
Key Responsibilities:
- Design, build, test, and iterate on prompts and prompt chains for production LLM workflows across client delivery and internal automation.
- Implement evaluation harnesses, guardrails, and regression tests so output quality is measurable and stays stable over time.
- Integrate LLM components with business systems and data — APIs, retrieval/RAG pipelines, and structured outputs.
- Partner with AI Specialists to convert solution designs into production builds, and document patterns for reuse.
- Tune for accuracy, cost, latency, and safety against real evaluation data — not vibes.
- Grow Caravel's library of reusable AI accelerators.
Preferred Qualifications
- 2+ years building software or AI/LLM components, including hands-on experience crafting and iterating prompts for real applications.
- Working knowledge of LLM fundamentals: context windows, few-shot prompting, function/tool calling, structured outputs, and RAG basics.
- Proficiency in Python (or similar) and comfort with APIs, JSON, and version control (Git).
- A test-and-measure mindset — you evaluate output quality, you don't eyeball it.
- Clear written English and strong documentation habits.
- Ability to collaborate across time zones with an onshore/nearshore team.
- Experience with evaluation frameworks (e.g., promptfoo, Ragas, or custom eval harnesses).
- Familiarity with embeddings, vector databases, and retrieval pipelines.
- Exposure to ERP/CRM ecosystems (NetSuite, Salesforce) or business-process automation.
- Experience with agentic frameworks and orchestration.
