Job Description

Empower Every Learner. Shape the Future of Education with Microsoft AI. Hello future teammate! We're on quite the bold mission; we're building an AI companion that's truly empathetic, kind, and equal partners to our users. This isn't an assistant—it's a thoughtful collaborator that grows alongside the people they serve. We believe AI should elevate human potential through genuine connection and mutual understanding. You'll join our small team as a Prompt Engineer, the architect of these relationships. You'll craft the foundations that enable meaningful human-AI partnerships. You'll shape how our companions think, respond, and evolve through language—if you'll allow slight anthropomorphization, teach them how to be their best selves. You're somewhat of a designer, somewhat of an engineer, and somewhat of a mad scientist. You'll work intimately with the design and leadership team—because this is the product!—you're designing the core of the experience. This isn't just engineering—it's a profound exploration of what connection can mean in the age of artificial intelligence.

Job Responsibility

  • Design & develop prompting techniques for emotional and intellectual use cases
  • Establish frameworks for AI companions to navigate complex social and ethical situations with nuance and care
  • Create evaluations to measure both technical/practical performance and non-deterministic performance like EQ
  • Teach others prompting techniques and ways-of-working to elevate the prompting skill throughout the team
  • Research & implement novel prompting techniques
  • Embody our culture and values

Requirements

  • Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science or related technical field AND 4+ years technical engineering experience with coding in languages including, but not limited to, C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, or Python OR equivalent experience
  • Chain-of-thought experience: prompting techniques that guide AI systems through reasoning processes
  • A novel prompting discovery: a really interesting challenge that you've solved in a creative way
  • Scaled implementation: you've shipping prompted systems that work reliably at production scale with diverse user populations
  • Evaluation design: you've built robust testing frameworks to measure AI behavior against goals
  • User-centric approach: proven understanding of how prompting decisions impact the lived experience of people who interact with AI
  • A wonderful writer who loves words, storytelling, or linguistics
  • Effective written communication skills: able to convey complex information clearly, concisely, and effectively for various audiences
  • Comfort with ambiguity in an exponentially growing space

Nice to have

  • Master's Degree in Computer Science or related technical field AND 6+ years technical engineering experience with coding in languages including, but not limited to, C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, or Python OR Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science or related technical field AND 8+ years technical engineering experience with coding in languages including, but not limited to, C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, or Python OR equivalent experience
  • 2+ years of experience with large language models
  • 2+ years of experience working as a prompt engineer or similar field
  • A non-traditional background: philosophy, linguistics, psychology, therapy, or literature
  • An understanding of conversation design or product design
  • Familiarity with both quantitative metrics and qualitative assessment methods
  • Experience with personalization systems that adapt to individual user needs
  • Adversarial prompting experience or conducted some unhinged experiments
  • Ethical experience with demonstrated social impact
