AI Product Manager / Product Owner at AI Product

  • Generative AI products for corporate clients, owned from strategy through specification to production.
  • Central strategy, local configuration: multi-tenant AI assistant for occupational pension schemes (bAV), delivered as an interactive avatar with text and voice path. Three tenants run on one codebase, each with its own conversation guide, while the knowledge base, guardrails and escalation paths stay central
  • Versioned, AI-ready knowledge base composed into a tenant-agnostic voice context and tenant-specific text prompts — the configuration layer that keeps local adaptation from forking the product
  • Conversational design: answer limits, scope and off-topic handling, anti-hallucination rules, escalation and lead handover to human advisors
  • Five eval suites as a quality gate before any prompt or model change (anti-hallucination, LLM-as-judge failure modes, multi-turn consistency, voice KPIs, action vocabulary with confusion matrix); user test with 10 testers (Hamburg, 07/2026) drove the rework from alpha to beta
  • Coordinated external developers, compliance and client stakeholders; GDPR-compliant EU stack, IDD-compliant, EU AI Act classification documented
  • Second product line: white-label social media generator for consultancy chilli mind (CH/DE) — one codebase, per-client branding and configuration
  • Results: 239+ deployments and a pilot with corporate customers · 108+ deployments for the white-label product · repeatable pattern for multi-tenant AI products in a regulated environment

Last position:

Multi-Agent R&D Pipeline (3 Custom Agents) at Independent Project

  • Claude Code subagents, MCP, Pydantic V2, pytest, bandit

  • Designed and shipped 3 specialized agents that hand work down a line: a research agent writes a cited implementation spec, a coding agent builds the modular code and its tests, a review agent ranks findings by severity and applies the fixes. Each handoff is a structured document, so no stage depends on another agent's context window.

  • Connected the research agent to an academic-research MCP server (Semantic Scholar, ArXiv, Hugging Face Hub, citation snowballing) so every reference traces to a tool result rather than the model. Gated commits behind ruff, mypy, pytest and bandit, required human sign-off before installs and commits, and persisted session state on disk so long runs survive a context reset.

About the technology

What Prompt Engineering Covers

Prompt Engineering is the structured design, testing and refinement of instructions for generative AI models. It turns business goals into prompts that guide text, image, audio or code generation with greater clarity, consistency and control. The work can cover a single interaction or a complete prompt system used across a product.

Where It Is Used

Prompt Engineering supports customer service, research, marketing, software delivery and internal knowledge work. Specialists create prompts for chat assistants, document extraction, summarisation, classification, content generation and retrieval-augmented applications.

  • Shape prompts for conversational assistants and copilots
  • Structure outputs for APIs, databases and downstream workflows
  • Create reusable templates for teams and business processes
  • Improve responses using examples, constraints and context

Models and Tooling

Professionals work with model families such as OpenAI GPT, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini and open-source models. Their toolkit may include system and user messages, few-shot examples, structured output schemas, embeddings, vector databases and orchestration frameworks such as LangChain or LlamaIndex. They also use version control and evaluation tools to manage prompt changes.

When to Bring in Specialists

Companies often need freelance expertise when a prototype gives inconsistent results, a model must follow strict business rules or a prompt workflow needs to move into production. A specialist can establish evaluation criteria, reduce avoidable errors and document a repeatable approach. This is useful for German companies coordinating remote work across product, data and compliance teams.

  • Responses vary too much between similar inputs
  • Teams lack a reliable evaluation and testing process
  • Prompts need to work across models or languages
  • A proof of concept must become a maintainable service

Skills Around Prompt Work

Strong Prompt Engineering rarely stands alone. Relevant adjacent skills include Python or JavaScript, API integration, data preparation, retrieval-augmented generation, fine-tuning, information security and user research. Specialists should understand the business domain, protect sensitive context and design prompts that fit the limits of the selected model.

What Good Work Looks Like

Quality is measured through representative test cases, clear success criteria and documented trade-offs rather than a convincing demo alone. Experienced professionals compare outputs, test edge cases, monitor regressions and keep prompts understandable for the team that will maintain them. They also explain when a prompt is not enough and a better data, model or workflow change is needed.

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers to the questions that come up most around Prompt Engineering.

Prompt Engineering is used to guide generative AI models toward useful, consistent and properly formatted results. Companies apply it to assistants, document processing, content workflows, research tools, software support and retrieval-based question answering.

Prompt Engineering changes the instructions and context given to an existing model, while fine-tuning changes the model through additional training data. Prompt work is often faster to test and easier to revise; fine-tuning may be appropriate when a stable style or specialised behaviour cannot be achieved through instructions alone.

A strong Prompt Engineering specialist may also understand API integration, Python or JavaScript, retrieval-augmented generation, embeddings, vector databases and structured output. Knowledge of evaluation, data protection and user experience is equally important for production work.

The required experience depends on the risk, model setup and workflow complexity. A simple prompt library may need focused language-model knowledge, while a production assistant requires experience with testing, monitoring, security, retrieval and integration. Clear acceptance criteria help determine the right level of expertise.

Yes, Prompt Engineering is well suited to remote collaboration because prompts, test cases and evaluation results can be shared digitally. On-site sessions can still help when specialists need close access to domain experts or sensitive internal workflows in Germany. Agree on data handling and working language before the project starts.

Assess Prompt Engineering through representative test cases rather than a single impressive response. Look for measurable criteria such as factuality, format compliance, consistency, refusal behaviour and usefulness. A capable specialist will document failures, compare revisions and explain the limits of the chosen model.

A company should consider a Prompt Engineering freelancer when experiments are inconsistent, internal teams lack evaluation methods or an AI feature must become reliable enough for daily use. Freelance specialists are also useful for short discovery phases, model comparisons and prompt systems that need clear documentation before handover.

Yes, Prompt Engineering specialists commonly work with model families such as OpenAI GPT, Anthropic Claude and Google Gemini, as well as open-source models. The best choice depends on capability, context handling, integration needs, data requirements and evaluation results. A specialist should test the relevant models instead of assuming one is always best.

The average hourly rate of freelancers in Germany who have used Prompt Engineering in their recent projects is 94 €, which corresponds to a daily rate of about 756 € based on an 8-hour working day.

Of the freelancers in Germany who have used Prompt Engineering in their recent projects, 96% hold at least a Bachelor's degree, 66% hold at least a Master's degree, and 12% hold a doctorate.

On average, freelancers in Germany who have used Prompt Engineering in their recent projects have 15 years of professional experience, with a single engagement typically lasting around 3 years.
