## About the role

You'll own the Generation half of Document Intelligence: turning multimodal primitives (keyframes, transcripts, OCR) into schema-valid entities like SOPs, and holding the line on quality so "fast" never becomes "fast and wrong." Design and iterate recipe prompts — system, few-shot, and context assembly — for each generation recipe

## What they're looking for

- Strong applied GenAI craft - prompt engineering, structured output / tool-use, RAG and retrieval-context patterns
- Real eval discipline: you've built datasets and rubrics, measured factuality/relevance/quality, and closed the loop on regressions yourself
- Shipped LLM features into production services, not notebooks, and can connect model performance to product impact
- Comfort working with multimodal inputs - video, PDF, audio, image - converted to text or structured output
