Company values

  • We care We care about our (free) users, our customers, our fellow employees, the societies of this world and the environment/planet (in no particular order). We act ethically, empathetically and want DeepL to be making this world a better place. We are mindful about the consequences of our own actions and of the actions that are done by models that make decisions on our behalf. We listen to each others' problems and help one another to solve them.
  • We build for scale, quality and think long-term We understand that in order to make a significant impact in the world, we have to always think about solutions that scale and reach a significant number of users/customers. At the same time, DeepL is known for delivering highest quality AI products and we aim at maintaining this high quality bar for the solutions we develop. Our short term execution is based on current data, but in order to remain innovative we need to think ahead, assign enough resources and be brave enough for big bets which determine the next stages of future growth.
  • We are decisive, move fast and act as owners We understand that we need to move fast in the competitive environment we are in. We therefore make sure that our organization, processes and communication are as disciplined, effective and quick as possible - so that we can get our jobs done as quickly as possible. We optimise for the speed of learning - we release early in small steps and understand that this may break things - we make sure we detect this, improve and move on. We understand that such efficient operation is only possible when everybody assumes ownership, responsibility and is given the space to make decisions and act as independently as possible. We encourage bold decision making and understand that in a fast paced environment mistakes are a normal part of the learning process.
  • We are humble, open and collaborative DeepL is not a place where you boast with your title. We believe that good ideas can come from anywhere. Our collective success is more important than that of any individual. We communicate transparently, openly and respectfully. We assume positive intent. Information is open by default and accessible to everybody, restricted only when really necessary.

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion at DeepL

  • Our diversity is one of our biggest strengths as a company, and we delight in the opportunity to work with DeeopLe from all corners of the globe and all walks of life. Here are some examples of what we currently do to ensure our company is welcoming and inclusive of everyone:
  • Our remote work policy makes work at DeepL accessible to parents, caregivers and those with additional needs that may form barriers to office work
  • We aim to eliminate bias from hiring via ‘blind feedback’- interviewers can’t see each other’s notes or any information about a candidate that is not directly related to their experience and skills
  • We actively reach out to underrepresented groups within that team when hiring for a new position
  • We make decisions collaboratively within our teams, not top-down- this means the diverse voices within DeepL are not just in the room but actively being heard and listened to with every move we make
  • We use inclusive language in our job descriptions and listen to advice about how to make them accessible to all applicants
  • We create diverse interview panels wherever possible to ensure candidates feel seen by people they can relate to
  • However, we know that we could do more- and we want to! Here are some of the steps we have in mind for the future:
  • Have a visible presence at industry events targeting underrepresented groups within tech, and start to organise events of our own
  • Continue to promote DeeopLe from diverse backgrounds into leadership positions within our teams
  • Continue to support shared interest groups within the company to allow people with shared difficulties or barriers in the industry to collaborate and support one another
  • Do you have some more ideas about what we could do to make DeepL more inclusive? Hit ‘apply’, and you can tell us all about it in the interview…
