Voice is DeepL’s fastest‑growing and most ambitious product portfolio. We are building real‑time speech translation across meetings, conversations, and APIs—products that operate in highly dynamic, multi‑user, real‑time environments.

Voice is past initial validation and entering a phase of rapid scale. As we grow, design leadership becomes critical: to set a coherent vision, to ensure quality across surfaces, and to help DeepL lead with design in a new product category.

• Mentor and coach other designers across the Voice team.
• Raise the bar for design critique, feedback, and design thinking.
• Help the team grow in confidence, autonomy, and impact.

• Contribute to evolving DeepL’s overall design standards, principles, and ways of working.
• Advocate for design‑led product development across disciplines.
• Help establish Voice as a benchmark for design excellence within the company.

• Extensive experience as a senior or staff‑level product designer in B2B and/or complex consumer products.
