AI Prompt Engineer Jobs in India (Remote, Full-Time) — Rexzone

Title: AI Prompt Engineer Jobs in India Date: 25-02-2026 Company: Rexzone Country: US Remote Type: Remote Employment Type: FULL_TIME Experience Level: Mid-Senior Industry: Technology Job Function: Engineering Skills: Prompt Engineering, LLM Evaluation, RLHF, Prompt Evaluation, QA Evaluation, NLP, Instruction Tuning, Safety Alignment, RAG, Python Salary Currency: USD Salary Min: 63360 Salary Max: 126720 Pay Period: YEAR

About the Role

You will craft and iterate high-performing prompts for LLM-based applications, build reusable prompt templates, and define evaluation criteria that improve reliability, groundedness, and safety. You will run prompt experiments (A/B tests), analyze outputs, create preference/ranking data for RLHF-style training, and partner with engineering to integrate prompts into products (chatbots, copilots, agents, and RAG systems). Your work supports model performance improvement, training data quality, and consistent behavior across domains such as customer support, coding help, research summarization, and enterprise knowledge search.

Key Responsibilities

Own prompt lifecycle management including prompt writing, prompt debugging, prompt versioning, and prompt library maintenance. Design prompt evaluation plans using rubrics for accuracy, completeness, instruction following, tone, and policy compliance. Produce high-quality preference data and rationales to support RLHF and instruction tuning workflows. Collaborate with stakeholders to translate product requirements into system prompts, developer prompts, and user prompt patterns. Improve grounding and reduce hallucinations using retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) strategies and citation/traceability constraints. Create and maintain annotation guidelines compliance for evaluators, including edge-case handling and escalation paths. Monitor quality metrics such as pass rate, inter-annotator agreement, and regression failures across releases. Support content safety labeling and red-teaming prompts to prevent policy violations, sensitive data leakage, and jailbreak behaviors.

Required Qualifications

3+ years in software engineering, ML/NLP workflows, or applied LLM prompt engineering. Strong writing precision for structured instructions, role prompts, and multi-step reasoning constraints. Experience with LLM evaluation methods such as rubrics, pairwise ranking, golden sets, and adversarial testing. Familiarity with RLHF concepts, preference data, and human feedback loops. Ability to analyze qualitative and quantitative results to drive iterative prompt improvements. Working knowledge of Python and basic tooling for experimentation (notebooks, scripts, JSON, APIs).

Preferred Qualifications

Experience with RAG pipelines, vector search, embedding evaluation, and grounded answer validation. Knowledge of content safety labeling, policy taxonomy, and prompt-based guardrails. Exposure to named entity recognition, information extraction, or domain-specific ontologies for structured outputs. Familiarity with LLM observability and evaluation tooling (unit tests for prompts, regression suites, eval harnesses). Experience collaborating with annotation vendors or BPO teams and managing QA evaluation workflows at scale.

Workflows and What You Will Build

Prompt libraries for consistent instruction following across multiple tasks. Evaluation rubrics and benchmark sets to measure quality and detect regressions. RLHF-style preference datasets with clear rationales and consistent scoring. Safety test suites for jailbreak resistance and policy compliance. Structured-output prompts for JSON schemas, tool calling, and agent orchestration. RAG prompts that enforce grounding, citations, and uncertainty handling.
