Hire the Best Prompt Engineers
Ahmedabad, India
Healthcare AI built by an engineer who knows buyers are right to filter out generalists. Medical imaging on DICOM, clinical NLP that handles negation and hedging, HIPAA-aware PHI pipelines, patient-facing apps that respect privacy for hospitals, radiology centres, pharma R&D, CROs, medical device makers, health-tech teams. I work with the Brainy Neurals team as the healthcare-AI engineer. My focus sits between "we have clinical data" and "validated AI helping clinicians" model design, PHI handling under your BAAs, on-prem vs cloud, validation against radiologist ground truth, shipping into EHR or device workflow. WHAT I BUILD / IN HEALTHCARE Medical imaging AI — DICOM ingestion, de-identification per Safe Harbor, organ and lesion segmentation on CT and MRI, abnormality detection, NIfTI and ITK pipelines, 3D Slicer. Built on MONAI, nnU-Net, TotalSegmentator, RadImageNet, validated against radiologist consensus. Clinical NLP and document AI note summarisation, ICD and SNOMED mapping, negation and hedging, family-vs-patient history disambiguation, medication extraction, lab-report parsing, prescription OCR. The grammar of clinical text is its own thing; I treat it accordingly. Pharma and clinical research clinical protocol to eCRF extraction (demographics, vitals, inclusion-exclusion, study-arm), systematic review using RoB2, GRADE, PRISMA, citation validation, batch record digitisation, evidence assembly. Patient-facing apps GI symptom-trackers with AI food and lifestyle recommendations, diabetic and gut-condition dish-suggestion, telehealth onboarding, chronic-care intake, mental-health support. Flutter or React Native fronts, FastAPI backends. Hospital workflow AI appointment automation, triage, hand-hygiene monitoring, fall-detection in wards (pose-based, no face recognition), bed-occupancy. THE STACK / FOR MEDICAL & PHARMA Imaging: MONAI, DICOM, NIfTI, ITK, 3D Slicer, nnU-Net, TotalSegmentator, RadImageNet, modality fusion. Clinical NLP and docs: Docling for medical PDFs, DocTR and TR-OCR for prescription and lab OCR, GPT-4o multimodal for complex layouts, Claude and Gemini for clinical reasoning, regex and Pydantic validation, NegEx-style negation with LLM verification. Knowledge: Neo4j for clinical knowledge graphs (drug-drug interaction, condition-symptom, contraindications). pgvector or Qdrant for medical literature. RAG over institutional protocols, authoritative sources only. Infrastructure: FHIR and HL7 v2 with EHRs, OMOP CDM for research, FastAPI for clinical APIs, Flutter and React Native for patient apps, AWS and Azure inside client BAAs, on-prem Ollama and vLLM where data cannot leave. WHO I BUILD FOR Hospitals and clinics radiology AI, patient-flow analytics, EHR decision support, ward-safety. Radiology centres, DICOM pipelines, organ and lesion segmentation, second-read AI, reporting integration. Pharma R&D and CROs clinical protocol extraction, systematic review, eCRF generation, evidence assembly. Medical device (pre-clearance) model prototyping, validation harnesses, dataset curation. I do not claim FDA-cleared deliverables; I build the substrate that goes through your regulatory team. Telehealth and health-tech patient intake, AI triage, multilingual symptom-checker. Specialty practices dental, dermatology, gastroenterology, oncology, mental health. Specialty-tuned models on small datasets. Health insurance claim review, prior-auth triage, appeals support, evidence extraction. HOW I WORK / WITH HEALTHCARE BUYERS Discovery is a 30-minute call: data sources, clinical workflow, compliance posture (HIPAA, GDPR, local). By the end I tell you whether the use case is feasible, validation plan, where ground truth comes from, how PHI flows. If it touches a regulated device pathway, I tell you what is in scope for me and what your regulatory team owns. Pricing is fixed-scope per milestone feasibility, dataset and PHI design, model build, validation, integration handoff. Hourly only for maintenance after deploy. THE BRAINY NEURALS BACKING I work with the Brainy Neurals team 15 AI engineers, NVIDIA Inception Partner, AWS Activate, Microsoft for Startups. When a project needs ward-monitoring cameras, edge deployment on hospital hardware, RAG over clinical docs, or workflow automation around the AI, that capacity sits with the team I bring them in cleanly, you do not manage multiple vendors. For pure healthcare model and clinical-NLP work I lead end to end myself. LET'S TALK / IF You are inside healthcare or pharma, you have a clinical workflow AI can genuinely help with, you understand the validation and compliance work this requires, and you want a senior engineer who has built medical imaging, clinical NLP, and patient-facing apps before not a generalist learning HIPAA on your project. Tell me your data, workflow, compliance. I reply within 24 hours with feasibility, validation approach, milestones.

Prompt engineer hiring guide
Prompt engineers design and optimize the instructions that allow artificial intelligence systems to deliver accurate, consistent, and cost-effective results. These specialists combine technical knowledge of large language models with strategic thinking to solve business problems like automating customer service workflows and building AI-powered development tools. Whether you're integrating AI into existing operations or launching new products, skilled prompt engineers can help you harness the full potential of generative AI technologies.
What does a prompt engineer do?
A prompt engineer designs, refines, and optimizes the text prompts that allow large language models (LLMs) to generate specific outputs, helping AI output match business goals. They do this using advanced techniques like few-shot and chain-of-thought prompting to guide large language models through logical reasoning, working to minimize errors and hallucinations.
Beyond writing text, prompt engineers play a significant role in system optimization. Because LLMs often charge based on tokens, a skilled engineer crafts concise prompts that reduce token usage without sacrificing quality, directly lowering operational costs. They also rigorously test prompts against edge cases to ensure safety, a process known as red teaming.
Furthermore, prompt engineers collaborate with developers (i.e., ChatGPT developers) to integrate prompts into larger software architectures, working with frameworks like LangChain to build autonomous agents that perform multi-step tasks.
How to hire a prompt engineer on Upwork
Upwork makes it easy to find and hire freelance prompt engineers, with many skilled candidates available to meet your timeline and budget needs. To streamline your hiring process, just follow these four simple steps.
Step 1: Post a job
A well-constructed job post serves as your first filter, helping attract prompt engineers with the skills your project demands. In your post:
Outline your project goals and expected deliverables
Describe specific skills you may need such as few-shot or chain-of-thought prompting, or retrieval-augmented generation (RAG)
Request specific experience with frameworks like LangChain or Semantic Kernel
Cover logistical details such as timeline and budget
To create a tailored job post quickly, try the Job Post Generator powered by Uma™, Upwork’s Mindful AI. Describe what you need in a few sentences, and Uma will craft a job post in seconds. You can also review job description templates for inspiration.
Step 2: Evaluate candidates
Prompt engineering is a relatively new field in which experience showing measurable results matters more than education or even certifications. As you receive proposals:
Have Uma give instant video interviews and side-by-side comparisons
Use Upwork’s filters to find candidates by rate, location, and experience
Review proposals for signs that the candidate has understood your job post and has the skills to meet your needs
Review portfolios for before-and-after prompt improvements with measurable results
Check for experience in your specific domain and evidence of working with complex system prompts
Step 3: Interview your top choices
Quick video interviews give you the chance to ask any questions you have left for your top candidates, and to get a feel for what a collaboration with them might be like.
Schedule and conduct interviews within Upwork messaging to get instant transcripts and summaries from Uma
Ask the candidates to walk you through past work from their portfolio, focusing on aspects that are similar to your project and challenges they overcame
Have candidates walk you through a hypothetical scenario in which an AI system is failing; ask how they would diagnose and fix it
Ask about their approach to ethical guardrails and preventing biased outputs
You can refer to common interview questions for freelancers to help keep your conversations focused and productive. You might also adapt AI engineer interview questions to assess a candidate’s technical knowledge.
Step 4: Agree on scope and begin work
Once you’ve found the right person, you can send a contract directly through the Upwork marketplace. A solid contract protects both parties and helps collaborations be successful from beginning to end.
Use Upwork's contract workroom, messaging, and payment protection for secure collaboration
Choose fixed-price contracts for projects with clear deliverables, such as refining a single core system prompt
Break large projects into milestones, such as dataset preparation, prompt tuning, and API integration
Choose hourly contracts for ongoing work or projects without clear deliverables, such as ongoing testing and optimization
After the contract starts, be sure to give the prompt engineer everything they need to succeed, including appropriate access to the necessary files, AI models, and project management tools.
