All software engineers are (or can be) prompt engineers, at least to the level of trivial jobs like this. It's just an API call and a one-liner instruction. Odds are very good at most companies that they have someone on staff who can knock this out in short order. No specialized hiring required.

Your validation approach doesn't really change based on the classification method (LLM vs NLP).

At that volume you're going to use automated tests with known correct answers + random sampling for human validation.
