Responsibilities

• Design, author, and iteratively optimize LLM evaluation prompts within Five9 AQM, translating quality management frameworks into accurate, testable prompt logic.
• Partner with customers and internal delivery consultants during AQM implementation engagements to define evaluation scope, intent, and pass/fail criteria.
• Select and analyze representative call samples to validate prompt performance; apply precision and recall thinking to measure and improve prompt accuracy.
• Maintain a structured prompt library - versioning prompts, documenting changes, and managing prompt lifecycle from initial design through to production handover.
• Collaborate with QA and Implementation teams to integrate prompt outputs into broader QM workflow design, including scoring forms and reporting.
• Identify prompt failure patterns and apply structured debugging techniques, including chain-of-thought adjustments, instruction clarity improvements, and few-shot example tuning.
• Contribute to the development of Five9 AQM prompt engineering standards, best practice documentation, and reusable prompt templates.
• Support pre-sales activities by demonstrating Five9 AQM prompt capabilities and articulating the value of AI-driven quality evaluation to prospective customers.
• Stay current with LLM developments, prompt engineering research, and the evolving Five9 AQM product roadmap.

• Strong understanding of contact center Quality Management processes, evaluation frameworks, and scoring methodologies.
• Experience selecting and analyzing call/interaction samples for model validation; comfortable applying precision, recall, and F1-score thinking to prompt performance measurement.

• Background in compliance-driven QM environments (financial services, healthcare, utilities).

Skills

• Analytical Rigor - applies structured, data-driven thinking to prompt design and performance measurement.
• Linguistic Precision - writes clear, unambiguous instructions; understands how wording choices affect model behavior.
• Iterative Mindset - comfortable with test-and-learn cycles; treats prompt refinement as an ongoing discipline, not a one-time task.
• Domain Expertise - deep understanding of contact center operations, QM frameworks, and agent evaluation best practices.
• Customer Orientation - able to translate client QM goals into technical prompt requirements and communicate findings clearly to non-technical stakeholders.
• Intellectual Curiosity - keeps pace with the rapidly evolving LLM and generative AI landscape.
