About the job
You'll join our small 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 anthropomorphization, 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.

Establish frameworks for AI companions to navigate complex social and ethical situations with nuance and care

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.
