Member of Technical Staff, Copilot Prompt Engineer

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 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 and nimble 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 anthropomorphizing, 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. No big deal. Just another Tuesday. What we are looking for: 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 Effective written communication skills: able to convey complex information clearly, concisely, and effectively for various audiences Comfort with ambiguity in an exponentially growing space Responsibilities 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.
