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.

Your choice We are constantly looking for outstanding employees! Currently we offer remote work in Germany, the Netherlands, the UK and Poland. Whether you would like to work from home in one of these countries or from one of our offices in Cologne or Paderborn: the choice is yours. No matter where you choose to work from, our way of working is designed to make you an essential part of the team.

Web Frontend at DeepL The Core Web Track is a group of teams focusing on our DeepL Translator and DeepL Write on the web (desktop and mobile). The teams are responsible for creating the best translation experience for our users be they free users, single customers or large enterprises. While most of the work is customer- facing, teams also work on deployment and delivery of our web products as well as on creating a common design language and components. The Core Web Track joins the Apps & Integrations Track to form the Core Product Area.

What will you be doing at DeepL?

As Senior Engineering Manager for the Core Web track, you will play a key role in driving the technical development of our core web product. This will involve working closely with product and design partners as well as your team of Engineering Managers to develop the track's teams and overall strategy. Your leadership and technical expertise will have a significant impact on the company's overall technical strategy and roadmap, making this a challenging and highly rewarding opportunity for experienced professionals who thrive on such responsibility.
