“With Lupa, we rebuilt our entire tech team in less than a month. We’re spending half as much on talent. Ten out of ten”
“We scaled our first tech team at record speed with Lupa. We couldn’t be happier with the service and the candidates we were sent.”
"Recruiting used to be a challenge, but Lupa transformed everything. Their professional, agile team delivers top-quality candidates, understands our needs, and provides exceptional personalized service. Highly recommended!"
“Lupa has become more than just a provider; it’s a true ally for Pirani in recruitment processes. The team is always available to support and deliver the best service. Additionally, I believe they offer highly competitive rates and service within the market.”
"Highly professional, patient with our changes, and always maintaining clear communication with candidates. We look forward to continuing to work with you on all our future roles."
“Lupa has been an exceptional partner this year, deeply committed to understanding our unique needs and staying flexible to support us. We're excited to continue our collaboration into 2025.”
"What I love about Lupa is their approach to sharing small, carefully selected batches of candidates. They focus on sending only the three most qualified individuals, which has already helped us successfully fill 7 roles.”
"We hired 2 of our key initial developers with Lupa. The consultation was very helpful, the candidates were great and the process has been super fluid. We're already planning to do our next batch of hiring with Lupa. 5 stars."
"Working with Lupa for LatAm hiring has been fantastic. They found us a highly skilled candidate at a better rate than our previous staffing company. The fit is perfect, and we’re excited to collaborate on more roles."
"We compared Lupa with another LatAm headhunter we found through Google, and Lupa delivered a far superior experience. Their consultative approach stood out, and the quality of their candidates was superior. I've hired through Lupa for both of my companies and look forward to building more of my LatAm team with their support."
“We’ve worked with Lupa on multiple roles, and they’ve delivered time and again. From sourcing an incredible Senior FullStack Developer to supporting our broader hiring needs, their team has been proactive, kind, and incredibly easy to work with. It really feels like we’ve gained a trusted partner in hiring.”
Working with Lupa was a great experience. We struggled to find software engineers with a specific skill set in the US, but Lupa helped us refine the role and articulate our needs. Their strategic approach made all the difference in finding the right person. Highly recommend!
Lupa goes beyond typical headhunters. They helped me craft the role, refine the interview process, and even navigate international payroll. I felt truly supported—and I’m thrilled with the person I hired. What stood out most was their responsiveness and the thoughtful, consultative approach they brought.

Top Nlp Developer Interview Questions
Essential questions for evaluating NLP Developers
What experience do you have with popular NLP libraries like TensorFlow or PyTorch?
Look for the candidate's familiarity with these libraries, including any projects they've completed. Ideally, they should demonstrate a clear understanding of the libraries' capabilities in NLP tasks.
Can you explain how you would approach a sentiment analysis project?
The candidate should describe a structured approach, potentially mentioning dataset gathering, preprocessing, model selection, and fine-tuning. They should also discuss evaluation metrics and model improvement strategies.
How do you handle tokenization in NLP tasks?
Ensure the candidate is familiar with different tokenization techniques and can articulate why they would use one method over another. They should be aware of how tokenization impacts downstream tasks.
Describe your experience with language models like BERT or GPT.
Assess the candidate's experience in implementing or fine-tuning transformer-based models. They should understand the strengths and challenges associated with these models.
How do you ensure that an NLP model generalizes well to unseen data?
The candidate should discuss methods such as cross-validation, regularization, hyperparameter tuning, and maintaining a balanced dataset. They should also recognize the importance of thorough testing on diverse data.
How have you approached handling ambiguous or poorly defined project requirements in NLP development?
Look for candidates who describe a systematic approach to clarifying requirements, such as seeking direct communication with stakeholders or translating vague goals into concrete tasks. This indicates strong communication skills and a proactive mindset.
Can you describe a challenging NLP problem you encountered and how you solved it?
Pay attention to their problem-solving process: identifying the issue, using innovative methods to tackle it, and evaluating the outcome. Their ability to reason through a problem is as important as the technical solution itself.
How do you handle integrating new NLP techniques or models into an existing system?
Look for answers showing adaptability and strategic thinking, such as testing new models in isolation, ensuring compatibility, and evaluating performance impacts before full integration.
What is your approach to optimizing NLP models that aren't performing as expected?
Find out if they mention iterative testing, parameter tuning, and error analysis. Good responses will highlight a structured but flexible approach to optimization and demonstrate persistence in achieving better performance.
How do you keep up with the rapidly evolving NLP landscape, and apply new knowledge effectively?
Seek candidates who value continuous learning and can practically apply new techniques. They should mention strategies like following key publications, engaging with the community, or participating in relevant workshops or courses.
Can you describe a time when you had to collaborate with a team on an NLP project?
Look for examples where the candidate clearly explains their role within the team, the challenges they faced, and how they ensured effective collaboration. Strong candidates will emphasize their ability to communicate ideas clearly and work towards shared goals.
How do you approach communication when explaining complex NLP concepts to non-technical stakeholders?
Strong candidates will demonstrate the ability to simplify technical jargon and tailor their message to the audience. Look for candidates who emphasize clear, concise communication and have experience presenting to diverse groups.
Describe a time when you led a project. What challenges did you face, and how did you overcome them?
Listen for examples where the candidate highlights leadership qualities such as decision-making, delegation, and motivation. Strong leaders will focus on how they navigated challenges and led the team towards success.
How do you manage stress and deadlines in fast-paced NLP projects?
The best candidates will have strategies for maintaining focus and productivity under pressure. Look for practical approaches to stress management, such as prioritizing tasks, staying organized, and maintaining a positive work-life balance.
Have you ever encountered a conflict with a team member? How did you resolve it?
Seek candidates who can demonstrate emotional intelligence and conflict resolution skills. Look for examples where they approached the situation calmly, listened to different perspectives, and worked collaboratively to find a solution.

Lupa will help you hire top talent in Latin America.
Book a Free Consultation
I help companies hire exceptional talent in Latin America. My journey took me from growing up in a small town in Ohio to building teams at Capital One, Meta, and eventually Rappi, for which I moved from Silicon Valley to Colombia and had to recruit a local tech team from scratch. That’s where I realized traditional recruiting was broken, and how much available potential there was in Latin American talent. Almost ten years later, I still work closely with Latin American professionals, both for my company and for clients. They know US business culture, speak great English, work in the same time zones, and bring strong skills and dedication at a better cost. We have helped companies like Rappi, Globant, Capital One, Google, and IBM build their teams with top talent from the region.
