Meet the team behind this journey

Become part of a high-velocity, forward-thinking team that operates as a 'startup within a company,' where your ideas will directly influence product development. We seek proactive individuals who take ownership of their work and promote cross-role collaboration to get results. Our commitment leads us to foster close relationships with engaged early users—whether they are fellow DeepL employees or early external testers. We're looking for someone who is focused on generating real value for customers, beyond the AI hype.

Starting from the early days of agentic hype, we have been developing as a 'tiger team' the DeepL Agent internally and dog-fooding now to the full AI company. The DeepL Agent is a general-purpose AI agent designed to autonomously handle a wide range of business tasks through natural language instructions. From building and researching sales account lists, to translating and publishing website content – it's built to streamline the repetitive, time-consuming work you do every day.

The team is now ready to scale and grow, but you're still early. Our ambition is big. We can't wait to hear from you.
