Our client is looking for a new addition to their progressive team: remotely or London-based, mid- to senior-level Data Scientist or Software Developer with experience in building real-world cloud-based NLP applications.
NB! Although we are looking for candidates experienced in NLP projects, the preference is given to those who have a stronger experience in deploying any (i.e. not necessarily NLP-related) applications in production using the tech stack outlined in the job spec, so experience with all or most of the listed AWS services is the key.
