Hi, I am working in making the term "llm developer" more popular in France and train people to this new job. We will need a bunch of them in the months/years to come to implement advanced AI systems after companies manage to properly pick and set up their AI platforms. Currently people would tend to involve data scientists into this job, but data scientists are often less versed into the software engineering aspect, eg when they work more on notebooks than web apps. The job is akin to being a web developer, so a "normal" developer but specialized in a certain field. Knowing the internals of LLMs is a big bonus, but you can start your journey with treating them as black box tools and still craft relevant solutions. You'll need to learn about running systems with databases (vector, graph, relational and nosql are all useful) and plugging multiple services together (docker, kubernetes, cloud hosting).
