What Does a NLP Engineer Do?
An NLP engineer works on language problems — classification, extraction, search, summarisation, translation and conversational systems — increasingly built on large language models. They handle data preparation, model selection and evaluation, and integration into products.
Language AI is one of the fastest-growing areas in tech, closely related to AI engineering, and the work is remote by default.
