Meet the team behind this journey

DeepL is not just a translation tool; we are building the Operating System for Global Communication. We are the rare AI company that builds the entire stack in-house: from training next-gen LLMs on our own NVIDIA DGX SuperPODs to delivering real-time Language AI to over 300 million users and 200,000+ businesses globally.

We are shifting gears. We are moving from "Software-First" to "Product-First." We don't hire engineers to just close tickets or optimize algorithms in isolation. We hire Missionaries—builders who obsess over the Why before the How.

As a Senior Engineer at DeepL, you will operate with the agency of a founder. You will join a high-performance engineering culture that values shipping speed, system reliability, and direct business impact over theoretical perfection, whether you are building our next-gen Voice API, architecting our massive billing engine, or scaling our core product platform, you will own your domain end-to-end.

Your responsibilities

Own the Outcome, Not Just the Code:
You will move beyond "implementing specs." You will own revenue-critical systems from the initial problem definition through to architectural design, deployment, and production reliability. You measure success by user impact, not just pull requests merged .Architect for Ambiguity:
You will make high-stakes technical decisions (monolith vs. microservice, consistency vs. availability) with incomplete information. You don't wait for perfect requirements; you identify risks, build prototypes, and iterate based on real-world feedback.

Bridge the Gap:
You will be bilingual in "Engineering" and "Business." You will translate complex technical constraints (latency, eventual consistency) into business terms for Product Managers, ensuring we negotiate the right trade-offs to ship value faster .Drive Technical Pragmatism:
You will avoid "Resume-Driven Development." Whether using our core stack (C#/.NET Core, Python, Kubernetes, React) or exploring new tools, you choose the technology that solves the customer problem most effectively, ensuring long-term maintainability over short-term trends.

Qualities we look forA "System Thinker" Mindset:
You don't just know syntax; you understand failure modes, system boundaries, and how your code impacts the broader architecture  can design systems that survive 10x growth.

High Agency & Bias for Action:
You don't wait for permission. If you see a fire, you put it out. If the…
