AI Prototyper / Prompt Engineer
Sparkli AI (Stealth AI / EdTech startup) Zürich Unbefristet CHF 100’000 - CHF 150’000/Jahr
We are a well funded startup, founded by Ex-Google employees and repeat founders. We are on a mission to ignite curiosity in children through beautifully crafted, AI-powered learning adventures.. We are reimagining how children learn — combining immersive stories, interactive minigames, and generative AI at the core of the experience.
Our educational platform transforms dry curriculum into vivid, engaging adventures. We’re looking for an AI Prototyper / Prompt Engineer to push the limits of what’s possible, fast.
This is not a traditional engineering role. It’s a hands-on, high-leverage position for someone who thrives at the bleeding edge of AI capabilities, loves tinkering with prompts and pipelines, and wants to invent the future of learning — one prototype at a time.
Tasks
What you’ll do:
- Rapidly explore the frontiers of generative AI — especially large language models — to unlock novel capabilities (e.g. auto-generating games or interactive content from a learning topic).
- Design and iterate on complex prompt chains, agent behaviors, and tool-augmented workflows.
- Build quick, scrappy prototypes to test viability of new ideas across text, games, visuals, or multimodal combinations.
- Collaborate with designers, educators, and engineers to bridge ideas into product-ready features.
- Monitor emerging tools, APIs, and research papers — and bring those insights into practical application.
Requirements
What we’re looking for:
- Deep understanding of LLM behavior, prompting strategies, and model limitations.
- Experience with OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, or similar APIs — ideally with multi-step chains, tool use, or custom system instructions.
- Comfort hacking together prototypes — with whatever tools you like.
- Curiosity-driven mindset with the ability to spot unexpected affordances or emergent behaviors in new models.
- Bonus: Experience in education, game design, narrative systems, or working with multimodal models (image/video/audio)
Benefits
Very competetive salary, bonus, and equity package..
