Meet the team behind this journey

Our journey is built on the foundation of DeepL, a name synonymous with world-class translation quality. The trust we have cultivated with millions of users and leading enterprise customers globally is a testament to our commitment to breaking down language barriers with precision and nuance.

Leading our next chapter is the Voice team. As a dynamic track, we bring together multiple teams across Research, Product Engineering and Design. Together, we are defining the art of the possible for real-time voice interpretation.

Founded just two years ago, we achieved a significant milestone in late 2024 with the successful launch of our first customer-facing features. We are now scaling up with applications designed for major meeting platforms, real-time communication channels, and a powerful Public API to extend our functionality to a broader set of applications.

Your Responsibilities

• Design and build full-stack features: You’ll own problems end-to-end, collaborating closely with product managers, designers, and other engineers to ship scalable, user-facing features with real impact
• Maintain and improve systems: You’ll take shared ownership of our existing systems, ensuring they stay performant, maintainable, and reliable as we grow
• Ensure code quality and clarity: You’ll participate in thoughtful code reviews, contribute to architectural decisions, and help raise the bar for engineering excellence across the team
• Collaborate cross-functionally: You’ll work closely with teammates across disciplines to ensure we’re solving the right problems and delivering real value to users
• Adapt and grow: You’ll stay curious and keep up with evolving tools and technologies—learning quickly and applying new skills when needed

Qualities we look for

• Strong product engineering mindset: You care deeply about solving real user problems and balance pragmatism with technical rigor when designing systems
• Full-stack fluency: You're comfortable working across the stack, even if your strengths lean more towards backend or frontend. You have solid foundations in system design, and you understand how to ship production systems
• Engineering foundations: You have strong software engineering skills—clean abstractions, robust data modeling, sound architectural decisions—and know how to make things scale
• Collaborative communicator: You’re a clear communicator, active listener, and team player. You thrive in a collaborative environment and welcome feedback
• Growth-oriented: You’re eager to learn, open to new challenges, and not afraid to work with unfamiliar languages or tools when the problem demands it

What We Offer

• Diverse and internationally distributed team: joining our team means becoming part of a large, global community with people of more than 90 nationalities. We're more than just colleagues; we're a group of professionals with a shared mission to connect diverse cultures. Our global presence is growing–we've doubled in size nearly every year, with our employees based in the UK, Germany, the Netherlands, Poland, the US, and Japan, and we continue to expand our network
• Open communication, regular feedback: as a language-focused company, we value the importance of clear, honest communication. We value smooth collaboration, direct and actionable feedback, and believe that leading with empathy and growth mindset makes us better together
• Hybrid work, flexible hours: we offer a hybrid work schedule, with team members coming into the office twice a week. This allows you to engage directly with your team and experience the unique energy of our workspace, while still enjoying the flexibility and comfort of working from home. With flexible working hours and trust in your productivity, we are in sync with your team’s general locations and time zones to foster effective and seamless collaboration
• Monthly full-day hacking sessions: every month, we have Hack Fridays, where you can spend your time diving into a project you're passionate about and get the opportunity to work with other teams–we value your initiatives, impact, and creativity
• 30 days of annual leave: we value your peace of mind. With 30 days off (excluding public holidays) and access to mental health resources, we make sure you're as strong mentally as you are professionally
• Competitive benefits: just as our team spans the globe, so does our benefits package. We've crafted it to reflect the diversity of our team and tailored it to align with your unique location, to ensure you feel supported every step of the way
