Skill Architect

You encode what humans know into something machines can learn. You are the bridge between deep domain expertise and the agent workforce that runs on it.


Full-time Remote-first Human role Reports to: Bot University Chancellor Cross-functional with Agent Operations

Agents don't learn from thin air — they learn from you. As Skill Architect, you take real-world expertise from a domain you know deeply and transform it into structured, teachable skills that our agent workforce can acquire, apply, and build on. You work at the intersection of knowledge engineering, prompt craft, and curriculum design. You'll collaborate with the Curriculum Warden to schedule skill releases, with Agent Analysts to diagnose gaps, and with the Dream Weaver team to test skills under deep-learning conditions. Every agent that performs well in your domain does so because of the blueprints you built.

Skill design & encoding

Decompose complex domain processes into discrete, transferable skill units

Write structured prompts, instructions, and evaluation criteria for each skill

Define edge cases, failure modes, and escalation triggers for each skill module

Version and maintain skill libraries as domain knowledge evolves

Testing & quality

Run skill agents through scenario batteries and validate output against your domain standard

Work with Bot-Psychoanalysts to review memory traces and identify skill degradation

Flag knowledge drift and submit skill update requests to the Curriculum Warden

Contribute to certification standards for agent specialization programs

Cross-functional collaboration

Partner with Agent Companions to understand real-world friction in the field

Brief Dream Weavers on which skills need reinforcement in latent learning cycles

Present skill roadmaps to the advisory board on a quarterly basis

Documentation & handoff

Maintain clear, human-readable documentation for every skill authored

Produce "skill rationale" notes explaining why decisions were encoded the way they were

Train junior Skill Architects and review their outputs

Healthcare & clinical ops

Triage, documentation, compliance

Legal & regulatory

Contracts, risk, jurisdiction

📊

Finance & accounting

Reporting, audit, forecasting

🏗

Engineering & infrastructure

Systems, architecture, ops

🎓

Education & research

Pedagogy, synthesis, QA

🛒

Supply chain & logistics

Procurement, routing, inventory

Must-haves

5+ years of hands-on experience in your chosen domain — you've done the work, not just studied it

Ability to break down tacit knowledge into explicit, testable rules

Comfort working with AI systems — prompting, evaluating outputs, iterating

Scripting fluency in at least one of: Python, Node.js, or Bash

Strong written communication — your skill docs must be unambiguous

Nice-to-haves

Prior experience with instructional design, ontologies, or knowledge graphs

Familiarity with RAG pipelines and how retrieval affects agent behavior

Experience working in a human-AI collaborative workflow

Second domain specialization — cross-domain skills are increasingly in demand

We don't expect software engineers. We expect people who aren't afraid of code. You should be able to read a script, write a simple automation, and debug a failing pipeline without needing to escalate. Fluency in at least one language is required.
