• Advanced prompting expertise, including the ability to design multi-step prompts with embedded logic, recursion, and context chaining to produce highly reliable outputs.
• Context engineering proficiency for managing structured and unstructured inputs to optimize LLM reasoning and relevance.
• Working knowledge of transformer-based LLM architectures, attention mechanisms, tokenization, context windows, RAG approaches, and common model failure modes.
• Proficiency in workflow automation using AI tools, LLMs, or agentic systems to orchestrate complex, multi-step processes with human-in-the-loop controls where appropriate.
• Familiarity with tool integration and agentic reasoning, including the ability to chain LLMs with APIs, vector databases, or code execution environments.
• Ability to critically evaluate AI outputs for drift, hallucination, bias, or inefficiencies and refine prompts or processes accordingly.
• Experience leveraging AI tooling for analytics, pattern detection, and predictive modeling to support product decisions.
• Demonstrated track record of using AI to significantly improve efficiency, throughput, or quality across business or technical workflows.

Education and Experience Requirements:

• Bachelor’s degree and a minimum of 2 years of related experience; or a relevant advanced degree without experience; or equivalent work experience.
• Experience contributing to product teams or supporting product development activities.

AI Proficiency Requirements For All Product Roles:

• Advanced prompting expertise: Capable of designing sophisticated, multi-step prompts with embedded logic, recursion, and context chaining to produce highly specific and reliable outputs across diverse domains.
• Context engineering mastery: Skilled in managing structured and unstructured inputs across system and user prompts to optimize LLM reasoning, retention, and relevance.
• Working knowledge of LLM architectures: Understanding of transformer-based architectures, including attention mechanisms, tokenization and context window limitations, fine-tuning strategies, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and the typical failure modes of frontier models.
• Workflow Automation proficiency: Proven experience designing and implementing AI-augmented workflows that reduce manual effort and enhance throughput and precision, especially using LLMs and AI agents in the orchestration of complex, multistep processes, including human-in-the-loop safeguards where appropriate
• Tool integration & agentic reasoning: Familiarity with chaining LLMs with tools, APIs, vector databases, or code execution environments to complete dynamic, multi-context tasks.
