Join Centric Consulting – A Culture You’ll Love

At Centric Consulting, we've cultivated a unique approach to business.  Our business is built on three fundamental principles: Enjoy the people you work with, have fun, and do great work. These principles define our consulting model and have crafted one of the most vibrant cultures in the consulting industry – celebrating individuals, collaboration, and lifelong friendships.  

You'll be creating the natural language instructions that make AI agents effective at solving complex business problems. This is fundamentally about process decomposition and clear communication - breaking down messy, real-world workflows into precise instructions that agents can follow reliably.

Think of it as technical writing for AI: you're not creating flowcharts or decision trees, but rather crafting detailed, contextual guidance that helps agents understand what to do, when to do it, and how to handle the inevitable edge cases. The best systems designers understand that agents work best when given clear instructions in natural language, just like humans do.

The reality: You'll be working at the cutting edge of a rapidly evolving field. There aren't established best practices to follow - you'll be helping create them. You need to be comfortable figuring things out as you go and learning from what works (and what doesn't). 

In this role, you will: 

• Decompose complex business workflows into clear, step-by-step natural language instructions
• Design instruction hierarchies and rule systems that agents can follow consistently
• Create reusable instruction patterns and templates that can be composed across different problem domains
• Work with subject matter experts to understand business processes, then craft agent instructions that capture that expertise
• Test and refine agent behaviors through iterative instruction design
• Build progressive disclosure systems that reveal complexity only when needed
• Document effective instruction patterns and anti-patterns for the broader team  

Who You Are: 

Must Have:

• Strong technical writing experience
• Experience with prompt engineering or AI tool usage
• Experience creating detailed process documentation, SOPs, or similar structured content
• Some programming experience (preferably Python), you need to be able to read code, and create logical changes  
• Experience with API documentation, developer tools, or similar technical products
• Proven track record of learning complex technical concepts quickly 

Highly Valuable:

• Background in business process analysis or workflow optimization
• Solid programming skills (Python preferred) and ability to work across the stack
• Experience with decision trees, flowcharts, or similar process modeling
• Familiarity with any LLM tools (ChatGPT, Claude, etc.) for work tasks
• Experience with Multi-Agent Design Systems 

Bonus Points:

• Background in training development or instructional design
• Knowledge of specific business domains (finance, healthcare, etc.) 

Cultural Fit:  

• Self-directed learner: You'll be figuring out new instruction patterns constantly
• Detail-oriented: Small changes in wording can create big differences in agent behavior
• Systems thinker: You see how individual instructions fit together in larger workflows
• Comfortable with ambiguity: Best practices are still being discovered
• Collaborative: You'll work closely with technical teams and business experts
• Curious about AI: You don't need to be an expert, but you should be genuinely interested in how agents interpret and follow instructions
