Checkmate is building advanced Voice AI systems for some of the largest restaurant and retail
brands in the US, including several in the top 10. Unlike many companies still in the prototype
phase, our AI solutions are live in production with real customers, achieving over 80%
accuracy. This is a $1 billion market opportunity, and we’re on track to scale to 3,000 stores by
the end of this year.
Join us at this pivotal moment of huge growth to shape AI products used daily by thousands of
staff and customers.
Essential Job Functions
- Prompt Design & Evaluation: Develop, test, and refine prompts for tasks such as text generation, question answering, data classification, and structured data extraction to optimize Voice AI performance.
- Data-Driven Analysis & Quality Measurement: Design evaluation frameworks and analyze prompt outputs using quantitative metrics, human-in-the-loop evaluation, and user feedback to identify improvement opportunities.
- Experimentation & Iteration: Conduct experiments to test prompt variations, measure their business and operational impact, and iterate to enhance accuracy, consistency, and safety.
- Regression Testing & Compliance: Build principled regression test suites using tools like LangFuse and Galileo to ensure prompts remain compliant and high performing as models and use cases evolve.
- Collaboration Across Teams: Work closely with data science, product, legal, engineering, and operations teams to align prompt designs with business goals, operational workflows, and compliance requirements.
- Model Adaptation & Strategy: Develop prompts across multiple LLMs (GPT, LLaMA, Gemini, and Checkmate’s fine-tuned models), understanding model differences to optimize outputs effectively.
- Team Leadership & Mentorship: To lead a team of analysts focused on prompt evaluation and data quality analysis, guiding prioritization, experimentation, and reporting. I collaborate with ops teams for seamless deployment and feedback loops.
- Research & Continuous Learning: Stay current on emerging prompting techniques, LLM behaviors, evaluation frameworks, and AI safety practices to keep Checkmate’s AI solutions best-in-class.
