Project Lion - Senior Prompt Engineer - Germany; Remote, Part-Time

We are seeking a Prompt Engineer to be responsible for the end-to-end technical migration workflow for transitioning templates to LLM authorators. The role is required to use client’s internal tools to leverage prompt engineering techniques to maximize model performance.

• Utilize Automatic Prompt Generation (APG) tools to create baseline prompts for complex parent-child template clusters.

• Run and supervise Automated Prompt Optimization (APO) tool, review the outputs, and flag when the APO reaches deadlocks or plateaus.

• Manually draft, test, and refine prompts to navigate complex template architectures, overcome anti-patterns, and handle edge cases where tooling is lacking or broken. Solve edge-case scenarios by designing and refining manual prompts.

• Monitor shadowbot runs to ensure sufficient disagreements (between human and LLM ratings) are registered, generated, and tracked.

• Run prompt versions against established gold data to continuously measure authorator quality against the human crowd baseline, calculating accuracy metrics such as F1 scores, precision, and recall.

• Draft technical launch readiness justifications (Launch Certification Documentation) for final.

• Language
  
  Skills:
  
  Native fluency in German and fluent in English.

• Location: Must be based in Germany.

• Education: Bachelor’s, Master’s, or Doctorate degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Computational Linguistics, Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Cognitive Science, or a related analytical field.

• Prompt Engineering & AI Expertise: At least 4 years' experience as Prompt Engineer. Proven experience tuning Large Language Models (LLMs) for strict, structured outputs, complex classification tasks, and familiarity with chain-of-thought and few-shot learning.

• Data Analysis: Strong proficiency in identifying error patterns, analyzing model performance, and using SQL or other data analytics tools.

• Technical Agility: Ability to quickly learn and master proprietary tools with minimal supervision.

• Communication: Excellent verbal and written communication skills.

• Familiarity with enterprise-grade LLM interfaces like the Goose API.

• Experience in AI model evaluation, data science, computational linguistics, or software engineering.

• Hands‑on experience with Automated Prompt Optimization (APO) systems or tuning workflows.

• Linguistic expertise, including an understanding of semantics and logic.
