What is your working knowledge of Python?
*
No working experience, but willing to learn
Self-taught, academic, or hobbyist exposure
Competent with basic scripting and maintaining existing, straightforward codebases
Independently builds, tests, and maintains robust modules or applications in a professional setting
Architecting systems, optimising performance, and setting Python engineering standards for teams
What is your current familiarity with NLP workflows?
*
I have no exposure to Natural Language Processing (NLP) workflows.
I have studied NLP concepts conceptually or built basic models (such as simple text classifiers) in a personal, academic, or bootcamp capacity, but I have never deployed or managed an NLP workflow within a professional or commercial environment
I have used NLP libraries professionally to perform basic text preprocessing tasks (such as tokenisation, stemming, lemmatisation, or stop-word removal) and can utilise pre-trained models for standard tasks
I independently build traditional NLP pipelines professionally using statistical methods (e.g., TF-IDF, Bag-of-Words) combined with classic Machine Learning classifiers
I professionally implement pre-trained models and standard pipelines (e.g., Hugging Face, spaCy) for tasks like sentiment analysis, but I do not customise or fine-tune them
I independently build end-to-end pipelines, handle text data engineering, fine-tune models (e.g., BERT) for specific business tasks, and deploy these workflows into production
I design complex NLP systems, including Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) frameworks, vector database integration, and LLM orchestration, while handling challenges like latency and model drift
I architect large-scale, high-throughput NLP infrastructure, train domain-specific foundational models from scratch, and optimise complex model architectures for maximum performance and cost efficiency
