DeepL...

is Germany's best-known AI company. We develop neural networks to help people work with language. With DeepL Translator, we have created the world's best machine translation system and made it available free of charge to everyone online. Over the next few years, we aim to make DeepL the world's leading language technology company.

Our goal is to overcome language barriers and bring cultures closer together.

What distinguishes us from other companies?

DeepL (formerly Linguee) was founded by developers and researchers. We focus on the development of new, exciting products, which is why we spend a lot of time actively researching the latest topics. We understand the challenges of developing new products and try to meet them with an agile and dynamic way of working. Our work culture is very open because we want our employees to feel comfortable. In our daily work we use modern technologies - not only to translate texts, but also to create the world's best dictionaries, and solve other language problems.

When we tell people about DeepL as an employer, reactions are overwhelmingly positive. Maybe it's because they have enjoyed our services, or maybe they just want to get on board with our quest to break down language barriers and facilitate communication.

We are constantly looking for outstanding employees! Currently, we offer remote work in Germany, the Netherlands, the UK, and Poland.

No matter where you choose to work from, our way of working is designed to make you an essential part of the team.

What will you be doing at DeepL?

Within the DevOps department, our data centre team manages all infrastructure systems in our remote sites. As part of this team, you will design and operate IT Infrastructure and fundamental data centre services for our customer base and internal users. You will be hands-on with our servers, and as their numbers go into thousands, you will implement tooling and automation wherever it makes sense.

You will work (remotely) on our production services and high-performance machine-learning clusters on multiple sites. Your tasks will involve coordinating staff on-site, and you will be able to visit the sites from time to time. You will join a team of broadly skilled engineers who will be able to support and kick-start your projects.
