What an LLM Engineer does on a managed AI engineering team.

They start from the AI features you already run and your own evaluation data, and work with your engineers on the changes that move quality and cost.

LLM Engineer skills and technologies

  • Context and retrieval engineering, including chunking, embedding choice and reranking.

  • Fine-tuning and adapter training where prompting has reached its limit.

  • Inference optimisation, caching and routing between models to control cost.

  • Benchmarking models against your own evaluation set rather than published leaderboards.

  • Building the routing logic that sends simple requests to a cheaper model and hard ones upward.

LLM Engineer seniority levels.

Senior. The role is system design around the model, well beyond prompt writing. Seniority is one of the inputs into how the monthly fee is built.

When your team needs an LLM Engineer.

The right addition when an AI feature exists and its quality or cost needs work, alongside an AI or NLP engineer. LLM engineers join as part of a dedicated AI team.

What we look for in a dedicated LLM Engineer.

We look for LLM engineers who can explain why a retrieval result was wrong and fix it. Experience with fine-tuning, embeddings and inference cost matters, and so does the judgement to try the simple fix first.

Questions about adding an LLM Engineer to your team.

When is fine-tuning worth it?

Later than most teams expect. Retrieval and context engineering usually come first, because they are cheaper to change.

Can you reduce our token costs?

Usually, through caching, routing between models and trimming context. It is one of the most measurable wins available.
