Project Overview

We are partnering with a pioneering client at the forefront of immersive learning and AI-powered simulations. Their platform enables professionals to practice and master complex interpersonal skills in high-stakes environments using cutting-edge technology that blends Large Language Models (LLMs) speech recognition natural language understanding computer vision and real-time voice synthesis.

What makes this project unique is its combination of human-in-the-loop orchestration with advanced multi-modal AI systemsbringing together live interactions avatar control and scalable LLM infrastructure to deliver incredibly lifelike and impactful training experiences. The solution goes far beyond simple chatbot interfaces or single-modal agents.

This is a mission-driven environment backed by research in learning science psychology and AI. The goal is to scale this system into a production-grade platform that consistently delivers predictable stable and low-latency GenAI performance. If youre passionate about building enterprise-level LLM infrastructure working across complex AI systems and helping shape the future of human-AI interactionthis is a rare and high-impact opportunity.

Role Overview

We are working with a client who needs a strong Prompt Engineer with a deep understanding of LLM (Large Language Model) systems structured prompt design and simulation-driven learning environments. This role requires a unique blend of product thinking linguistic strategy and experience with AI systems in production. Youll collaborate cross-functionally with simulation designers AI engineers and learning architects to create highly structured effective prompts for real-world learning scenarios.

***This position is fully remote for candidates based in Colombia Costa Rica Mexico Uruguay El Salvador or Peru.

Key Responsibilities

• Design structure and refine prompts for complex LLM production environments.
  
• Implement and manage retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines using JSON-based structured outputs.
  
• Develop and maintain evaluation rubrics and prompt testing datasets to measure LLM output quality and alignment.
  
• Translate abstract learning objectives and human-to-human interaction scenarios into effective prompt-driven AI behavior.
  
• Act as a strategic liaison between creative simulation teams and technical AI engineers helping ensure narrative fidelity and technical precision.
  
• Guide the iterative prompt development process from ideation through implementation grounded in psychological and communication-based rubrics.
  
• Contribute to the evolution of prompt engineering processes tools and best practices for scalable production-level deployment.
  

What You Bring

• 13 years of experience in AI/ML or product-related roles with direct experience working on LLM systems.
  
• Demonstrated expertise designing prompts in production-grade LLM environments (e.g. OpenAI Claude etc.).
  
• Strong understanding of RAG architecture evaluation databases and structured output formats such as JSON.
  
• Background in linguistics psychology learning design or communication modeling is a strong plus.
  
• Experience bridging creative and technical domains able to work fluently with both instructional designers and engineers.
  
• Ability to work in ambiguity rapidly prototype and refine based on prompt performance data.
  
• Familiarity with learning experience platforms human behavior modeling or communication skill simulations is a bonus.
  

Nice to Have

• Experience working in simulation platforms education tech or virtual learning environments.
  
• Exposure to psychological rubric design and scenario-based learning journeys.
  
• Prior collaboration with voice actors artists or simulation scriptwriters.
