About the Role

At DeepL, we’re passionate about breaking language barriers with the power of AI and cutting-edge technology. As we continue to grow and shape the future of intelligent language solutions, we need a seasoned Tech Recruiter to join us on this journey.

You’ll work closely with hiring managers and senior leaders across the Research and Engineering organizations to identify, engage, and bring on board exceptional technical talent. You’ll be a strategic partner, a creative problem-solver, and a champion of the candidate experience, helping DeepL attract the best minds to build technology that truly changes how people connect.

What You’ll Do

  • Collaborate with leaders across Research and Engineering teams to understand their evolving hiring needs and deliver tailored recruitment strategies.

  • Own the full recruitment lifecycle - from sourcing and engaging candidates to managing interviews and offers - ensuring every step is smooth and candidate-centric.

  • Craft innovative sourcing strategies that go beyond job boards, tapping into networks, events, and passive talent pools.

  • Provide hiring teams with clear, insightful data and market intelligence to support smart hiring decisions.

  • Build and nurture talent pipelines through personalized outreach and employer branding initiatives that showcase what makes DeepL unique.

  • Be an advocate for candidates, making sure their experience reflects the care and excellence DeepL stands for.

What We’re Looking For

  • At least 8 years of experience recruiting technical talent, ideally in fast-paced, high-growth tech environments.

  • A proven track record of filling challenging roles in competitive technical markets, especially in AI and Research science.

  • Exceptional communication skills - you know how to build trust with senior leaders and inspire candidates.

  • Comfortable adapting to change and juggling priorities in a dynamic, evolving workplace.

  • A genuine passion for people, technology, and making meaningful connections.

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! So bring us your personal experience, your perspectives, and your background. It’s in our diversity that we will find the power to break down language barriers in the world.
