DeepL...
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 free of charge to everyone
online. 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 topics. We understand the challenges of
developing new products and try to meet them with an agile and dynamic way of
working. Our work culture is very open because we want our employees to feel
comfortable. 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 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.
