About the Role
As a Prompt Engineer at Beam, you'll be at the forefront of deploying our AI products into real-world environments where they create meaningful social impact, and you'll do it in our fastest-growing market. Beam is transforming how social workers, case managers, clinicians and other frontline practitioners operate, freeing them from time-consuming admin to focus on human-centered support. The US expansion is where the next chapter gets written: state and local government agencies, home health and behavioral health providers, and care organizations that have never seen tooling like this. You'll play a critical part in scaling that impact, working directly with US frontline practitioners to make sure our products are intuitive, effective and deeply embedded in their workflows. In this founding role you won’t be the one following a playbook, you’ll be writing it!
Responsibilities
- Work closely with frontline practitioners and internal teams to design, deploy and continuously improve AI-powered templates and workflows.
- Engage in customer discovery to understand workflows, needs, and challenges, including state and program-specific documentation and reporting requirements.
- Run discovery and review sessions to gather insights and refine solutions.
- Own customer usage, engagement, and success metrics to ensure strong outcomes and measurable impact.
- Design, build, and test high-quality AI prompt templates using various LLM providers and agents.
- Continuously iterate on templates based on user feedback, internal reviews, and performance metrics.
- Ensure template outputs are accurate, compliant, and tailored to real-world use cases, including US regulatory and payer contexts.
- Improve internal tools, automations, and processes to scale template delivery and build the US market playbook.
- Prototype new ideas and features using AI coding tools.
- Stay up-to-date with AI/LLM advancements and apply them to enhance product performance.
- Collaborate closely with Product, Engineering, Customer Success, and Enablement teams across the US and UK.
- Contribute insights to the product roadmap and identify opportunities for expansion and scaling in the US market.
- Share learnings, document best practices, and help refine team processes.
- Maintain a strong focus on data privacy, security, and the ethical use of AI, including HIPAA-level sensitivity.
- Ensure all solutions are designed with care for the vulnerable populations Beam serves.
Requirements
