Jackalope Digital LLC; Greater London; Hybrid; GBP 120,000 - 160,000; Full time

Benefits offered by this job

Hybrid work

Virtual Shares

Regular in-person team events

30 days annual leave

Job summary

DeepL in London is seeking a senior technical leader to grow a small full-stack team, setting direction across services and the customer-facing web experience.

You will own the customization surface end to end—terminology, glossaries, style rules, translation memory—and collaborate with product, design and research to shape an enterprise platform.

This role offers a hybrid work arrangement, regular team events, and opportunities to work with a global, diverse team.

Responsibilities

• Lead, grow and develop a small, senior full stack team, and set its technical direction across services and the customer-facing web experience.
• Own the customisation surface end to end: terminology and glossaries, style rules, style profiles, translation memory, and the sharing and administration around them.
• Shape the product, not just deliver it. Work with your product manager and designer to define how customisation should actually feel to use, and bring a point of view of your own rather than waiting for a specification.
• Challenge what we are shipping. The biggest wins available here are the unglamorous ones: making it possible to organise, find and trust a large set of customisations rather than being buried by them.
• Take responsibility for whether customers use what we built, not just whether we ship it. Find out where people drop out of the journey and close those gaps.
• Reduce the setup burden. Make configuring customisation something an administrator can do confidently on their own rather than something that needs weeks of guided onboarding.
• Partner with our research colleagues to bring adaptive, context-aware personalisation from prototype into a product customers trust, including the transparency that lets them see why a translation was personalised.
• Look after customer-owned assets properly. Glossaries and translation memories are what our customers have invested most in, and they need to be safe, portable and correctly scoped.
• Work across research, product, design, platform, identity and go-to-market teams, and turn what customers are hitting into engineering priorities leadership can act on.
