Skills and AI tools this role asks for
Questions you could be asked
- How do you structure and test a prompt to get consistent output from a language model?
- How would you design a retrieval step so the model answers from real data instead of guessing?
- Walk me through fine-tuning a model: what data did you use, and how did you check the result?
- What's a project where you used LangChain hands-on?
- Walk me through how you've used LlamaIndex in your day-to-day work.
Adapt your resume
- List these exact terms on your resume: Prompt engineering, RAG, Fine-tuning, LangChain, and LlamaIndex. An applicant tracking system matches the wording, not the idea.
- Attach one line of real, concrete experience to at least one of them. A tool named with nothing behind it rarely survives a human read.
- Show where AI is part of your daily process, not a one-off project. This role expects it to be a running habit.
