Job Description

• We’re looking for a creative, systems-minded Prompt Designer to build and refine AI-driven content generation workflows. This role focuses on crafting high-quality prompts, testing outputs, and iterating toward consistent, scalable results.
• You’ll work at the intersection of writing, logic, and experimentation—turning ambiguous ideas into structured prompt systems that reliably produce accurate, engaging content.

What You’ll Do

• Design, write, and iterate on prompts that generate structured, high-quality content.
• Build and maintain prompt frameworks that scale across topics and formats.
• Test outputs, identify failure patterns, and systematically improve results.
• Define rules, constraints, and schemas (including JSON outputs) to enforce consistency.
• Evaluate content quality across accuracy, engagement, and repeatability.
• Develop new content formats and expand existing ones.
• Collaborate on tooling using ChatGPT, Copilot, spreadsheets, and structured workflows.
• Rapidly prototype, validate, and refine ideas through hands-on experimentation.

• Strong writing ability with an eye for clarity, tone, and engagement.
• Systems thinking: ability to translate vague goals into structured rules and repeatable outputs.
• Experience iterating on AI prompts or working with generative models.
• Comfortable working with structured data. (JSON, schemas, validation rules)
• Strong problem-solving skills—you debug outputs, not just write prompts.
• Bias toward action: you test, ship, and improve quickly.

Nice to Have

• Experience building or scaling content generation systems.
• Familiarity with prompt evaluation, scoring, or test harnesses.
• Background in games, education, or interactive content.
• Light scripting or data manipulation experience.

What This Role Is Not

• Not a pure software engineering role.

Success in This Role Looks Like

• Outputs are consistently accurate, engaging, and well-structured.
• Prompt systems scale without breaking across topics.
• Failure cases are identified and systematically eliminated.
• New content formats are introduced and production-ready Level.
