Robots & Pencils is seeking an outcome-oriented AI Engineer to partner with a strategic client on a high-impact AI system calibration and optimization engagement. You'll embed directly with the client's AI and product engineering teams to improve the accuracy, reliability, and transparency of their Azure-hosted, fine-tuned GPT model through systematic prompt optimization and RAG calibration.

As an AI Engineer, you'll serve as a technical thought partner, actively coding and leveraging your software engineering experience to build calibration pipelines, optimize prompts using prompt optimization frameworks, and establish repeatable improvement workflows. You'll work on-site with the client, driving measurable outcomes that maximize their AI system performance.

Key Responsibilities

  • Embed with strategic client as their technical partner for AI system calibration and prompt optimization.
  • Build production-grade calibration systems using Python within the client's Azure environment.
  • Implement DSPy framework and GEPA optimizer to systematically improve prompt quality and retrieval performance.
  • Design and develop Golden Dataset curation workflows using Azure Data Labeling, establishing gold / silver data tier schemas.
  • Create evaluation frameworks to measure model accuracy, precision / recall, latency, and hallucination rates.
  • Architect prompt optimization pipelines for retrieval, context synthesis, and answer generation tailored to client needs.
  • Own the path to production – evaluation pipelines, Azure ML workflows, KPI dashboards, and optimization automation.
  • Iterate rapidly based on client feedback and KPI results, translating business goals into technical calibration improvements.

Outcome Ownership & Business Impact

  • Own end-to-end delivery of calibration systems from initial baseline to production-ready optimization workflows.
  • Establish measurable KPIs and demonstrate accuracy improvements, latency reduction, and hallucination mitigation.
  • Provide strategic guidance on RAG architecture improvements and retrieval parameter optimization.
  • Accelerate client time-to-value through hands-on development and comprehensive knowledge transfer.
  • Deliver operational playbooks and documentation enabling the client team to maintain calibration systems independently.
  • Engineering Leadership & In-Field Delivery Excellence

  • Lead complex, multi-stakeholder calibration initiatives on-site and remotely; drive clarity, remove blockers, and keep execution on track.
  • Set coding standards and architectural patterns for calibration components; write clear docs, runbooks, and technical specifications.
  • Mentor client engineers through code reviews, pairing sessions, and technical workshops on DSPy, GEPA, and evaluation best practices.
  • Make sound trade-offs under real-world constraints – Azure cost optimization, data quality, performance requirements, and security.
  • Align delivery with Robots & Pencils' responsible AI practices and client governance requirements.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Work closely with client's AI SMEs and product engineering teams to understand product catalog structure and validation workflows.
  • Collaborate with internal R&P product, engineering, and delivery teams on calibration methodology and best practices.
  • Share insights from client engagement to improve R&P's prompt optimization frameworks and tooling.
  • Contribute reusable patterns, evaluation frameworks, and documentation back to R&P's core platform.
  • Collaborate across time zones with distributed teams.
  • Required Skills & Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in computer science, Engineering, or equivalent experience.
  • 7+ years of professional software development with significant ownership of architecture and delivery.
  • 3+ years of Python in ML / AI systems with a strong focus on data processing and evaluation pipelines.
  • 2+ years building with Generative AI including hands‑on prompt engineering and optimization work.
  • Experience with prompt optimization frameworks – DSPy strongly preferred, or similar systematic approaches to prompt improvement.
  • Deep understanding of RAG architectures – retrieval quality, latency / cost tuning, hallucination mitigation, and evaluation methods.
  • Hands‑on experience designing evaluation metrics and building assessment frameworks for LLM systems.
  • Knowledge of systematic experimentation methods – A / B testing, parameter tuning, performance benchmarking.
  • Experience with data curation, labeling workflows, and dataset quality management for AI systems.
  • Strong Azure cloud experience with focus on AI / ML services – Azure Machine Learning, Azure AI Search, Azure OpenAI Service.
  • Experience with Azure Data Labeling, Azure Blob Storage, and Azure infrastructure fundamentals.
  • Understanding vector search platforms and retrieval optimization (Azure AI Search, Weaviate, Qdrant, Pinecone).
  • Strong IaC background (Terraform or ARM templates) plus containerization and distributed systems knowledge.
  • Solid SDLC practices – testing strategies, CI / CD, code reviews, observability, and operational excellence.
  • Upper‑intermediate English for client communication.
  • Experience leading complex technical projects with multiple stakeholders.
  • Strong communication skills for technical and executive audiences.
  • Ability to context‑switch and adapt to client environments.
  • Willingness to travel to client sites.
  • Nice to Have

  • Direct hands‑on experience with DSPy framework and GEPA optimizer.
  • Understanding systematic optimization principles – evolutionary algorithms, Bayesian optimization, multi‑objective optimization, and Pareto efficiency concepts.
  • Familiarity with prompt optimization frameworks and methods – experience with any of : MIPROv2, TextGrad, EvoPrompt, AutoPrompt, or reinforcement learning approaches (GRPO, PPO).
  • Experience with LLM‑as‑judge patterns and automated evaluation pipelines.
  • Knowledge of advanced RAG patterns – Adaptive RAG, Self‑RAG, Corrective RAG – and retrieval evaluation methods (MRR, NDCG, precision@k).
  • Understanding of agentic AI patterns – ReAct, Chain‑of‑Thought, Tool Use – and their application in RAG systems.
  • Experience building evaluation dashboards with Azure Monitor, Application Insights, or similar observability tools.
  • Familiarity with MLOps practices – model versioning, experiment tracking, metric logging for evaluation systems.
  • Experience with AWS or GCP AI / ML platforms (Bedrock, SageMaker, Vertex AI) and cross‑cloud architecture patterns.
  • Experience with product catalog systems, cross‑reference matching, or e‑commerce search optimization.
  • Background in manufacturing, industrial equipment, or technical specification systems.
  • Prior consulting or professional services experience with enterprise clients.
  • Personal Competencies

  • Accountability – Owns full client engagement cycle with quality, reliability, and attention to detail.
  • Adaptability – Thrives in dynamic, fast‑paced client environments.
  • Collaboration – Builds strong partnerships across teams and time zones.
  • Execution‑Focused – Delivers maintainable, scalable solutions without overengineering.
  • Innovation‑Minded – Brings curiosity and experimentation to technology decisions.
  • Craftsmanship – Cares deeply about documentation and code quality, architecture, and user experience.
  • Why Join Robots & Pencils?
