DeepL

DeepL开发机器翻译和语言AI——翻译网页应用和应用程序、付费API、文档翻译、术语表/翻译记忆和实时语音翻译——并将其销售给企业和消费者。本板上的职位均为伦敦基础的高级工程角色(C#/.NET后端为主的全栈,加上Python数据平台角色),它们遗漏的重要背景信息是,DeepL在2026年5月宣布裁员约250人,约占员工总数的25%(Sifted)。

Senior Software Engineer | API Enterprise | Full-Stack

这份工作

为什么是你

  • DeepL runs its own NVIDIA DGX SuperPODs and trains next-gen LLMs — she has direct inference/serving infrastructure experience at GMI Cloud, and seeing the other side of the stack (the product built on those models) is a credible next move.
  • The Enterprise API team needs someone who can own services end-to-end, drive reliability toward four nines, and navigate cross-team dependencies — that maps directly onto her GMI Cloud work (dynamic routing, health scoring, failover, OpenTelemetry) and her Google X tech lead experience (five-person team, stakeholder-heavy greenfield project).
  • The role lives at the intersection of API platform and enterprise adoption (usage insights, cost controls, RBAC, data residency). Her infrastructure work plus her prior enterprise exposure through Tech Mahindra / Google X gives her vocabulary for both sides.

我的顾虑

  • The stack is C# / .NET (80-90% of the work). Her profile says working knowledge of C#, not deep expertise, and the posting asks for backend mastery in that ecosystem. That is a genuine mismatch — not a dealbreaker by itself, but it puts her against candidates who live in .NET daily.
  • The role is in London. DeepL's posting says hybrid (2 days/week in office), so she would have to move to the UK. She is currently on a German student residence accumulating time toward a Blue Card; moving to the UK resets that clock and requires a different visa route (Skilled Worker, not Blue Card). The UK salary threshold for a Skilled Worker visa is higher than Germany's, and the posting does not state a salary range — so the gate is unreadable.
  • DeepL uses a unified engineering pipeline — they hire for the company, not a specific team, and match afterward. That means even if she clears the bar, she might be offered a team that does not touch LLM infrastructure at all, which dilutes one of her strongest selling points.

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.

You will join the API Enterprise team. We sit at the intersection of DeepL's API platform and our Enterprise ecosystem. Whereas the Core team obsesses over the self-service developer journey, our focus is on enterprise customer adoption: the usage insights, cost controls, RBAC , compliance, and data residency capabilities that enterprise IT and security teams depend on. We work hand-in-hand with a wide set of stakeholder teams to make DeepL's API the obvious and safe choice for global enterprises.

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. You will contribute across the stack, shipping features that create delightful, frictionless experiences for both external developers and internal engineering teams.

 


YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES

 - Drive Enterprise API Adoption: You will own the features that turn enterprise interest into deep, durable adoption. Examples include usage insights, cost and consumption controls, and the governance tooling that lets large organizations understand and manage how they use DeepL's APIs

 - Build for Governance & Compliance: You will design the controls enterprise IT and security admins rely on (roles and permissions, projects, data residency, and audit-ability), making DeepL the compliant default for regulated, global organizations

 - Guardianship of Quality & Production Reliability: You will own your services end-to-end, including participation in the API on-call rotation, with a shared goal of taking our public API to four nines of reliability. You will implement strong contract testing, monitoring, and SLOs, preventing breaking changes and security vulnerabilities before they reach our enterprise customers

 - Architect Across the Enterprise Ecosystem: You will work deep within DeepL's existing technical and organizational structures, navigating dependencies across different areas and many stakeholder teams to ship cohesive, reliable enterprise capabilities

 


QUALITIES WE LOOK FOR

 - An "Enterprise-First" Mindset: You treat enterprise IT and security admins as your primary users. You understand that earning their trust means clear governance, predictable cost control, robust compliance, fast response times and data residency. You're a strong communicator who's comfortable owning product decisions and implementing them

 - Backend Mastery at Scale (C# / .NET): You have deep expertise designing scalable backend systems, RESTful APIs, and distributed architectures, primarily in C# / .NET, and you've worked with high-scale distributed systems in production. Strong API design fundamentals and system design are core to how you work. Roughly 80-90% of the work is backend; working on the frontend (React/TypeScript) is a welcome plus, not a requirement

 - Enterprise Platform Fluency: You bring hands-on experience with the building blocks of modern enterprise APIs (MCP, CLIs, and OAuth) and know how to wield them to build secure, extensible integrations

 - Cross-Team Leadership: You have a track record of leading projects across multiple teams. You can align with different areas and other stakeholders, manage cross-team contracts and dependencies, and keep complex, interconnected systems coherent

 - Extreme Ownership & Operational Excellence: You own your services end-to-end (production operations, incident response, and on-call) and you're motivated by pushing reliability toward four nines. You write comprehensive tests, learn from incidents, and treat mature SLOs as a core engineering feature

 - AI-Native Velocity: You leverage AI-powered tools (like Claude Code, Codex or GitHub Copilot) to accelerate delivery so you can focus your energy on high-value architecture and complex problem-solving

 - Bonus points if you have: a track record of zero-downtime migrations on live systems; experience with metering, quota, or usage-data systems; worked in a compliance environment (SOC 2, ISO 27001, C5, or similar)


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.
