Hire Top-Tier Nearshore NLP Engineer in LATAM

Technical Questions

• • Design a named entity recognition system for extracting medical entities from clinical notes. What model architecture would you use and how would you handle domain-specific terminology?
• • Walk through your approach to building a production chatbot with context awareness. How would you handle multi-turn conversations and maintain conversation state?
• • How would you fine-tune a BERT model for text classification with only 1,000 labeled examples? What techniques would you use to prevent overfitting?
• • Explain RAG architecture in depth. When would you use RAG vs. fine-tuning, and what are the performance, cost, and quality tradeoffs?
• • You're seeing high latency in your NLP API (900ms per request). How would you diagnose the bottleneck and optimize for sub-200ms response times?
• • Design a semantic search system for a knowledge base with 10M documents. How would you handle embedding, indexing, and retrieval at scale?

Cultural Fit Questions
