About Translated

Translated is a leading company in AI-enabled translation services. We are on a mission to allow everyone to understand and be understood in their own language.

Our success stems from a unique blend of the world’s #1 adaptive neural machine translation technology (IDC MarketScape 2022), the largest network of vetted, native-speaking professional translators, and top-ranked AI-enabled text, audio, and video translation tools (Gartner, 2022).

• Proficiency in Python and experience with at least one deep learning framework (e.g., PyTorch).
• Proactive, self-driven and enjoys solving complex problems, not just in the primary area of responsibility but across boundaries.
• Excellent communication and teamwork skills, with the capacity to convey technical concepts to non-expert audiences.
• Ability to iterate quickly and make decisions based on results and data analytics.

Additional Preferred Qualifications

• Experience developing Machine Translation models is a strong plus.
• Experience with modern LLM alignment techniques, such as Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF), DPO, and GRPO.
• Experience with job scheduling and workload management systems, particularly Slurm.
