This isn't anything new. We've had prompt engineers for a long time now; we've just been calling them "SEO Specialists". The kind of person you'd hire to make sure your Amazon listing has all the necessary magical incantations to land on the first page of search results, that sort of thing.

This is just the next incarnation of trying to shift the output of someone else's algorithm in your favor. Be wary of building a career on top of that. It's very easy for the algorithm owner to change things up and obviate any value you used to provide.

SEO optimization is at the other end. It would be like trying to get your data picked up by the model training. Prompts are equivalent to search queries.

Prompt engineering is another way to say functional specification imho.
