NLP Engineer - Machine Learning/Data Mining

NLP Engineer - the problem we are solving with our product
PracticewithEVE is an AI-speech based interview preparation platform for business domain jobs. Its mission is to replace the reliance of human coaches and interviewers with AI. So every student or aspirant can prepare for their dream job without having to rely on another person for coaching or training.
To draw a parallel - In the coding world you have Leetcode, HackerRank or HackerEarth where millions of people solve coding problems daily to prepare for jobs at FAANG and more companies. We are sure you have also used and benefited from their plethora of questions and active community.
But unfortunately in the domain of Business jobs there are no such great platforms. So we are building one!
A platform which has business domain questions. But in a way that reflects the real business job interview.
Business job interviews are conducted in a conversational problem-solving manner.
Therefore PracticewithEve is a speech based AI bot that utilizes NLP to understand what the user is saying and respond to them with the right information. Just the way it happens in a real business job interview.
