3d • Hybrid

About The Position

Cherry Bekaert, a leading accounting and consulting firm, is seeking an AI Prompt and Skills Engineer to join its AI Center of Excellence. This role is responsible for building and implementing AI-powered tools for over 3,000 professionals across various service lines. Working under the AI Workflow Architect, the Prompt + Skills Engineer will translate architectural designs into production-ready solutions that operate reliably at scale. The position involves writing, testing, and refining prompts, building and maintaining AI skills and workflow components, curating the firm's prompt library, and conducting quality assurance on AI outputs. The role also includes supporting the Ambassador network, documenting processes, collaborating with subject matter experts, evaluating new use cases, monitoring AI platform updates, and contributing to AI training materials.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Information Systems, Engineering or a related field.
• Hands-on proficiency in prompt engineering, including the ability to write, test, iterate and optimize prompts for accuracy, consistency and usability — or demonstrated aptitude and eagerness to develop these skills rapidly.
• Familiarity with AI platforms and tools relevant to professional services (e.g., Anthropic Claude, Microsoft Copilot, AI development frameworks) with a clear willingness to develop deep technical capabilities on the job.
• Strong process orientation with the ability to follow established architectural standards, maintain version control, execute structured build-test-deploy workflows and keep the prompt library organized.
• Analytical mindset with attention to detail, particularly in evaluating AI output quality, identifying patterns in failure modes and conducting systematic, repeatable testing.
• Willingness to learn Cherry Bekaert’s Tax, Assurance, Advisory and Wealth Management domains — understanding enough about how professionals work to build prompts and skills that fit their actual workflows.
• Strong written communication skills, including the ability to write clear technical documentation, maintain knowledge bases and create training materials that non-technical colleagues can follow.
• Collaborative working style suited to a small, cross-functional team, with comfort engaging service line professionals, Ambassadors and technical colleagues across levels.
• Eligibility to work in the United States.
• Candidates must demonstrate eligibility to work in the United States. Cherry Bekaert will not provide work sponsorship for this position.

Nice To Haves

• Relevant certifications in AI/ML platforms (e.g., Anthropic, Microsoft AI, AWS ML) are a plus.

Responsibilities

• Writes, tests and refines prompts across Tax, Assurance, Advisory and Wealth Management use cases, following the architectural standards and prompt patterns established by the Workflow Architect.
• Builds, maintains and versions Claude skills and workflow components, managing the full lifecycle from development through testing to production deployment.
• Curates and organizes the Firm’s prompt library, tagging entries by service line, use case type, complexity tier and validation status to maximize discoverability and reuse across teams.
• Conducts quality assurance testing on AI outputs, including accuracy validation, edge case testing, hallucination detection and compliance checks against the Firm’s professional standards.
• Supports the Ambassador network by providing hands-on technical assistance, troubleshooting workflow issues and delivering implementation guidance when new tools and skills launch.
• Documents prompt engineering patterns, skill specifications and build processes in the CoE knowledge base, creating the reference material that enables the team to scale.
• Collaborates with service line professionals and subject matter advisors to capture domain-specific requirements and translate them into prompts and skills that reflect how work actually gets done.
• Participates in use case intake, evaluating submitted ideas from across the Firm for technical feasibility, effort estimate and alignment with the existing production roadmap.
• Monitors AI platform updates and new capabilities (e.g., Anthropic Claude releases, new tool-use and agentic features) and assesses their impact on existing skills and workflows.
• Contributes to the Firm’s AI training materials by developing prompt examples, live skill demonstrations and technical reference guides that the Coordination Track uses for Ambassador enablement.
