i get it but what else do you call it right now? its like a full stack dev that builds chatbots with apis and streaming and context fixes, it's a confusing term because it hints at ML core but then you see what they want and there is no model training/inference usually involved. Maybe "AI Fullstack?" idk either but I literally have been doing this over the last 2 years but ya ended up doing model training/inference too but the IMO obtuse leadership didn't want it.

LLM operator. LLM supervisor, if someone wants to be grandiose about it.
