Do you excel at crafting precise, effective prompts that guide AI models to produce optimal responses? Are you fascinated by the art and science of training AI systems to understand and interact with users in a natural, intuitive way? If you're passionate about shaping how people interact with AI through language, thenour clienthas an exciting opportunity for you. We’re looking for anAI Prompt Engineer(aka The AI Interaction Designer) to design, test, and refine prompts that enhance our AI models' understanding and performance.

As an AI Prompt Engineer atour client, you’ll be at the forefront of developing the interactions between humans and AI systems. You’ll work closely with AI researchers, product managers, and UX designers to create prompts that ensure AI outputs are accurate, relevant, and useful. Your work will be critical in improving the user experience of our AI products, making them more effective and intuitive.

Key Responsibilities:

  1. Design and Develop AI Prompts:
  • Craft and refine prompts that guide AI models to generate desired outputs. You’ll experiment with different phrasings, structures, and techniques to optimize AI performance across various tasks, such as natural language understanding, text generation, and question answering.
Collaborate on Model Training:
  • Work closely with AI researchers and data scientists to incorporate prompts into model training and fine-tuning processes. You’ll ensure that prompts are aligned with model objectives and contribute to improving the model’s accuracy and relevance.
Test and Evaluate Prompt Effectiveness:
  • Conduct extensive testing and evaluation of AI model outputs based on different prompts. You’ll analyze the results, identify patterns, and refine prompts to enhance the model’s understanding and response quality.
User Interaction Design:
  • Collaborate with UX designers and product teams to create natural, intuitive user interactions with AI systems. You’ll help design conversational flows and dialogue systems that make interacting with AI seamless and user-friendly.
Analyze and Optimize User Feedback:
  • Collect and analyze user feedback to identify areas where prompts and AI interactions can be improved. You’ll iterate on prompts and conversational designs to better meet user needs and expectations.
Documentation and Best Practices:
  • Create comprehensive documentation for prompt design and usage, establishing best practices and guidelines for prompt engineering across projects. You’ll educate and train team members on effective prompt crafting techniques.
Stay Updated on Advances in AI Language Models:
  • Keep abreast of the latest developments in AI language models and prompt engineering techniques. You’ll experiment with new approaches and integrate advancements to continuously improve AI interactions.

Requirements

Required Skills:

  • Prompt Engineering Expertise:Proven experience crafting effective prompts for AI language models, such as GPT or similar large-scale models. You understand how prompt structure influences AI outputs.
  • Natural Language Processing (NLP) Knowledge:Solid understanding of how language models work, including their strengths and limitations. You have experience working with NLP techniques and tools to improve AI’s understanding of human language.
  • Analytical and Problem-Solving Skills:Strong analytical abilities to evaluate the quality of AI responses, identify patterns, and adjust prompts for better outcomes. You enjoy iterating and testing different approaches.
  • Collaboration and Communication:Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work cross-functionally with AI researchers, UX designers, and product teams. You can explain technical concepts and engage with non-technical stakeholders.
  • User-Centric Approach:Focus on optimizing AI interactions from a user perspective, ensuring that the models provide helpful, accurate, and relevant responses that meet business and user goals.

Educational Requirements:

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Linguistics, Cognitive Science, AI, or a related field.Equivalent experience in AI prompt engineering, conversational AI, or NLP may also be considered.
  • Certifications or coursework in AI, machine learning, or NLP are advantageous.

Experience Requirements:

  • 2+ years of experience working with AI models, NLP, or conversational AI,with hands-on experience designing prompts for AI systems.
  • Proven track record of improving AI model outputs through prompt engineering, with experience optimizing prompts for various use cases (e.g., chatbots, content generation, customer service).
  • Experience with AI frameworks such as OpenAI GPT, Hugging Face, or other large language models is highly desirable.

Benefits

  • Health and Wellness: Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance plans with low co-pays and premiums.
  • Paid Time Off: Competitive vacation, sick leave, and 20 paid holidays per year.
  • Work-Life Balance: Flexible work schedules and telecommuting options.
  • Professional Development: Opportunities for training, certification reimbursement, and career advancement programs.
  • Wellness Programs: Access to wellness programs, including gym memberships, health screenings, and mental health resources.

How Many AI Tools Do You Need to Know to Get an AI Job?

If you are job hunting in AI right now it can feel like you are drowning in tools. Every week there is a new framework, a new “must-learn” platform or a new productivity app that everyone on LinkedIn seems to be using. The result is predictable: job seekers panic-learn a long list of tools without actually getting better at delivering outcomes. Here is the truth most hiring managers will quietly agree with. They do not hire you because you know 27 tools. They hire you because you can solve a problem, communicate trade-offs, ship something reliable and improve it with feedback. Tools matter, but only in service of outcomes. So how many AI tools do you actually need to know? For most AI job seekers: fewer than you think. You need a tight core toolkit plus a role-specific layer. Everything else is optional. This guide breaks it down clearly, gives you a simple framework to choose what to learn and shows you how to present your toolset on your CV, portfolio and interviews.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in AI Job Applications (UK Guide)

Hiring managers do not start by reading your CV line-by-line. They scan for signals. In AI roles especially, they are looking for proof that you can ship, learn fast, communicate clearly & work safely with data and systems. The best applications make those signals obvious in the first 10–20 seconds. This guide breaks down what hiring managers typically look for first in AI applications in the UK market, how to present it on your CV, LinkedIn & portfolio, and the most common reasons strong candidates get overlooked. Use it as a checklist to tighten your application before you click apply.

The Skills Gap in AI Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Artificial intelligence is no longer a future concept. It is already reshaping how businesses operate, how decisions are made, and how entire industries compete. From finance and healthcare to retail, manufacturing, defence, and climate science, AI is embedded in critical systems across the UK economy. Yet despite unprecedented demand for AI talent, employers continue to report severe recruitment challenges. Vacancies remain open for months. Salaries rise year on year. Candidates with impressive academic credentials often fail technical interviews. At the heart of this disconnect lies a growing and uncomfortable truth: Universities are not fully preparing graduates for real-world AI jobs. This article explores the AI skills gap in depth—what is missing from many university programmes, why the gap persists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build a successful career in artificial intelligence.
