YOUR ROLE:
At SiteGround, we’ve built and launched our own suite of AI products:
Coderick AI — our vibe coding platform.
AI Studio — access to flagship AI models, providers, and intelligent AI Agents.
WordPress AI Agent — one AI assistant for virtually every WordPress task.
We’re moving fast: adding new capabilities, launching new AI agents, and serving a growing number of customers who use our AI products every day.
This role sits at the heart of how we measure and improve those products. Your job is to make our LLM-powered features provably reliable — not just impressive in a demo.
Prompt engineering is a central part of the role. You’ll design, test, and iterate on prompts and agent behaviour directly. But your defining contribution will be rigour: turning “this seems to work” into measurable, repeatable, production-ready behaviour through evaluation and observability.
We work across the major model ecosystems — OpenAI, Google Gemini, and Anthropic — and you’ll regularly make pragmatic decisions about model choice, quality, latency, and cost.
You’ll work closely with backend engineers, fellow evaluation engineers, and product managers. Together, you’ll dig into real customer interactions, identify where our AI succeeds or fails, and turn those insights into better prompts, agents, tools, and product experiences.
YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES:
Evaluation & Observability
Build high-quality evaluation datasets with ground truth and define task-specific metrics such as correctness, task completion, efficiency, cost, token usage, and safety;
Run model bake-offs and before/after prompt experiments — every meaningful prompt change should be a measured experiment, not a guess;
Design evaluations for harder cases where there is no clean ground truth, including agentic workflows, tool-calling correctness, and structured-output validity;
Own production observability through trace analysis, per-tool dashboards, error classification, and session-level review;
Root-cause failures, identify recurring patterns, understand their impact on quality and cost, and turn findings into prompt improvements and engineering tickets;
Help close the loop between users and product teams by translating real customer behaviour and product questions into clear, measurable insights about how our AI features are used and where they can improve.
Prompting & Agent Engineering
Design, version, test, and continuously improve system prompts for domain-specific agents;
Architect agent behaviour, including tool orchestration, multi-turn flows, and safeguards such as plan-before-execute, read-before-write, and always-confirm for destructive actions;
Build reusable, modular prompt components for areas such as safety, tone, context, and tool documentation;
Select the right model for each task, balancing quality, latency, and cost.
Tooling & Integrations
Work across the API layer our AI agents act through, integrating the REST endpoints that expose application data and operations to the LLM;
Help design and implement guardrails that prevent agents from corrupting user data, including permission enforcement and safe defaults;
Debug the full request path end to end — from an agent’s decision and tool call to the live result — correlating application logs with agent traces.
OUR EXPECTATIONS:
Strong prompt engineering and LLM application experience — you’ve shipped agents or LLM-powered features to production, not just prototyped them;
Hands-on evaluation experience and a data-driven mindset — you’ve built evaluation datasets and metrics, and you measure results before claiming something works;
Python experience and comfort consuming and integrating REST APIs;
Familiarity with modern LLM tooling and patterns, including function/tool calling, RAG, agentic workflows, observability platforms, and current model families;
Healthy scepticism toward AI output and a strong instinct for safety, failure modes, and guardrail design.
GREAT ADVANTAGE WILL BE:
Experiment design and statistics literacy, including A/B testing, significance, and sampling, so your evaluation conclusions hold up under scrutiny;
Experience designing LLM-as-a-judge evaluations and calibrating automated judges against human labels;
Red-teaming and adversarial testing experience, including prompt injection, jailbreaks, and structured-output abuse;
Comfort working with data tools for exploring and slicing evaluation results, such as SQL, pandas, DuckDB, notebooks, or similar;
Experience with platforms/solutions such as Langfuse, Langchain, n8n, Google ADK.
