Prompt Engineer
A prompt engineer is someone who designs and develops prompts, which are instructions or tasks that guide users or systems to perform certain actions or behaviors. For example, a prompt engineer may create prompts for a chatbot, a voice assistant, a game, or a learning platform. A prompt engineer needs to have skills in natural language processing, user experience design, and domain knowledge. A prompt engineer also needs to follow ethical and safety guidelines to ensure that the prompts are respectful, appropriate, and beneficial for the users and the systems.
