Meet the team behind this journey

You will join the Business Acceleration Track (BAT). This is the engine room of DeepL’s global growth. We are building the systems that allow DeepL to scale from a consumer tool to an Enterprise standard used by the world's largest companies.

As a Full-Stack Engineer in BAT, you won't be treated as a "junior" who only fixes CSS bugs. You will be a core contributor building the features that drive our revenue. Whether it’s building a new checkout flow, integrating a payment provider, or updating the Team Management dashboard, your code will directly impact our bottom line. We are looking for engineers with a "high slope"—builders who learn fast, ship often, and care about the business impact of their code.

Your responsibilities

• Ship Features End-to-End: You will own the implementation of features across the stack (React Frontend + C#/.NET Backend). You ensure your code works in production, not just on your machine.

• Master the Domain: You will learn the intricacies of Enterprise SaaS—how subscriptions work, how teams are managed, and how money moves through our system. You will use this knowledge to spot bugs and propose improvements.

• Collaborate to Raise the Bar: You will participate in code reviews and architectural discussions. You will use AI tools (like Copilot) to move faster, handling the boilerplate so you can focus on the business logic.

• Build for Quality: You understand that we deal with money and customer access. You write clean, tested code and care about edge cases (e.g., "What happens if the payment fails halfway through?").

Qualities we look for

• High Learning Trajectory: You are curious about how complex systems work. You aren't afraid to dive into a legacy codebase or learn a new billing API to get the job done.

• User-Centricity: You put yourself in the shoes of the user (or the IT Admin). You strive to make complex configuration screens feel simple and intuitive.

• Technical Versatility: Our stack relies on C#/.NET, React, and PostgreSQL. You might not be an expert in all of them yet, but you are eager to learn and adapt to the right tool for the job.

• Bias for Action: You prefer shipping a small improvement today over planning a perfect revolution next month.

• AI-Native Velocity: You leverage AI-powered tools (like GitHub Copilot or Claude) to accelerate your velocity and eliminate repetitive toil. You use AI for boilerplate code, test generation, and debugging, allowing you to focus your cognitive energy on high-value architectural decisions and complex problem-solving.

A Note on Our Hiring Process: DeepL hires for the Company, not just a specific team. We operate a Unified Engineering Pipeline. If you pass our bar, we will match you to the highest-priority role that fits your skillset—whether that is in Core Product, Platform, Voice, or Enterprise. We prioritize "Missionaries" who want to solve the biggest problems, wherever they live in the stack.

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.

• Virtual Shares - An ownership mindset in every role. We believe everyone should share in our success, and that’s why every employee receives Virtual Shares, linking your contribution directly to DeepL’s growth and rewarding you with a stake in our future.

• Regular in-person team events: we bond over vibrant events that are as unique as our team, from local team and business unit gatherings, to new-joiner onboardings, to company-wide events that bring us all together–literally.

• 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.

If this role and our mission resonate with you, but you're hesitant because you don't check all the boxes, don't let that hold you back. At DeepL, it's all about the value you bring and the growth we can foster together. Go ahead, apply—let's discover your potential together. We can't wait to meet you!

We are an equal opportunity employer

You are welcome at DeepL for who you are—we appreciate authenticity here. Our product is for everyone, and so is our workplace. The more voices we have represented and amplified in our business, the more we will all succeed, contribute, and think forward!
