Data Engineer

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 to everyone free of charge. 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 trends and technologies. We understand the challenges of developing new products and try to meet them with an agile and dynamic way of working. Our open and positive workplace philosophy enables employees to feel comfortable and thrive in their roles. 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-related 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.

What will you be doing at DeepL?

You will join a highly motivated team that collects, filters, processes, and assesses the quality of vast amounts of linguistic data. The resulting corpora are one of the key ingredients for training the machine learning models that enable our products to understand the intricacies of human language. Our team improves and extends our data processing algorithms and also designs and operates our large-scale computing systems, which run on hundreds of servers. Together, you will collaborate with research scientists and language experts to analyze language data for its unique characteristics, identify linguistic challenges, and find scalable and pragmatic solutions that improve the quality of our corpora.

Ihre Aufgaben

Depending on your skills and interests, some or all of the following:

• research, design, implement, operate, maintain, and drive new solutions and software to gather and process linguistic data

• ensure that our solutions perform well at scale, are maintainable, and are accessible to experimentation

  Play to your strengths and contribute with creativity, thoroughness, pragmatism, foresight, ingenuity, persistence, or something else that brings the team forward.
