Prompt Engineer
Jersey City, NJ, USA
Title: Prompt Engineer
Location: Jersey City, NJ (4 Days Onsite)
Role purpose
Design, test, govern, and continuously improve prompts, system instructions, conversation flows, and interaction patterns for AIRP LLM applications and related citizen-development experiences. The role ensures model outputs are accurate, grounded, safe, consistent, cost-aware, and aligned with business and compliance expectations.
Client
· Prompt work must support enterprise business use cases, not generic chatbot experimentation.
· Reusable prompt patterns should be suitable for AIRP and, where applicable, Copilot Studio / Power Platform citizen-development scenarios.
· Candidates must understand prompt security, sensitive data handling, citations/grounding, and structured evaluation.
Primary ownership
· Prompt patterns, system instructions, response templates, and conversation policies for AIRP LLM use cases.
· Prompt testing, versioning, evaluation, and quality-improvement workflows.
· Reusable prompt libraries and guardrail patterns for business teams and responsible citizen development where applicable.
Key responsibilities
· Design prompts for chatbots, copilots, RAG systems, document analysis, summarization, workflow agents, knowledge assistants, and decision-support experiences.
· Develop system prompts, few-shot examples, tool-use instructions, response formats, escalation logic, citation behavior, and conversation policies.
· Optimize prompts for KYC support, credit underwriting support, governance tracking, pitch book generation, Banker 360, Customer 360, deal library intelligence, financial crime quality, and sanctions screening use cases.
· Build reusable prompt libraries and templates aligned to enterprise standards, business domains, AIRP patterns, and citizen-development guardrails.
· Evaluate prompt performance using metrics such as task success, groundedness, hallucination rate, completeness, safety, user satisfaction, latency, and token cost.
· Partner with engineers to implement prompt versioning, testing, deployment, and monitoring in production systems and CI/CD workflows.
· Support RAG quality by assessing retrieval context, chunking quality, source citation behavior, response synthesis, and missing-context behavior.
· Conduct adversarial testing for prompt injection, jailbreaks, instruction conflicts, sensitive-data leakage, unsafe outputs, and unauthorized tool use.
Must-have candidate profile
· Strong understanding of LLM behavior, prompt design, tokenization, context windows, RAG, embeddings, and model limitations.
· Hands-on experience with OpenAI APIs, Azure OpenAI, AWS Bedrock, Anthropic, LangChain, LlamaIndex, Semantic Kernel, Copilot Studio, or similar platforms.
· Ability to debug LLM outputs using structured testing, error analysis, and iterative refinement.
· Strong writing, analytical, communication, and stakeholder-management skills.
· Understanding of prompt-security risks including prompt injection, jailbreaks, data leakage, hallucination, and instruction conflicts.
· Ability to create repeatable prompt templates and evaluation evidence suitable for enterprise governance.
Preferred experience
· Background in NLP, conversational AI, UX writing, technical writing, product design, knowledge management, business analysis, or financial-services operations.
· Experience in financial services, legal, compliance, risk, operations, customer support, banker productivity, or enterprise knowledge domains.
· Familiarity with Microsoft Copilot Studio, Power Platform, prompt registries, A/B testing, human review workflows, and evaluation tooling.
