Key responsibilities

• Testing and optimizing a large number of prompts to improve output quality.
• Building and managing datasets.

  • Consideration: Part-time with a significant number of hours.
• Work Mode: Hybrid. Ideally, we’d like you to join us in-person at our office one day a week to work closely with the team. We are flexible and open to evaluating a less frequent presence, but we value the opportunity to meet in person, especially at the beginning of the collaboration, to build a strong connection.
• Compensation: Commensurate with experience and expertise.
• Integration: You will work directly with our team, who will ensure you are fully integrated into processes and workflows.
• Client Interaction: Not required, but we are flexible based on your preferences and circumstances.

• We are a team of skilled people who love learning and sharing.
• We promote a culture of kindness and empathy where everyone’s voice matters.
• We continuously improve everything we do, from technical skills to internal processes. We dedicate a full day a week to our improvement.
• We take on challenging projects and build them in-house. We don’t do body‑rental of resources: we build and leverage our team's experience to deliver high-quality software solutions to complex business problems. We are the first stakeholders of the products we build.
