Meet the team behind this journey
DeepL is moving beyond being seen as a best-in-class translation engine. We are building toward an AI-first, end-to-end translation platform - and this role exists to lead that technical narrative with enterprise customers as it spans language, process, and technology.
As a Solution Architect on our global solution consulting team, you'll sit at the intersection of enterprise translation strategy, localisation technology, and complex deal execution. You'll shape how DeepL is positioned with respect to language and/or translation service providers, design future language AI workflows, and help build the playbooks that scale what works across the broader GTM team.
You understand modern AI stacks and language customization and localization as a whole - governance, glossary management, QA workflows, post-editing - and can navigate a conversation between a Localization Manager and a Head of Engineering without losing either.
Your responsibilities
- Get Inside the Customer's World
- Engage confidently with localization program managers, language operations leads, IT architects, and procurement stakeholders. Understand their content volumes, language pairs, translation management system setup, language service provider relationships, and where their current stack is failing them. Translate that into a clear picture of where DeepL creates the most impact.
- Map the Workflow Transformation
- Create the before-and-after. Map a customer's current manual-heavy processes and fragmented localization state against a DeepL-centric future - demonstrating how processes gets streamlined and deliver efficiency and productivity gains to the business overall
- Lead Technical Validation
- Design and run high-impact POCs and architecture reviews that prove translation quality, integration feasibility, and operational efficiency. Speak authoritatively on security posture, compliance architecture, and governance to risk-averse IT and procurement audiences.
- Shape the Practice and the Product
- Establish and refine playbooks - discovery frameworks, architecture templates, ROI models, and automation recipes - that elevate the broader GTM team. Feed structured field insight back to Product and Engineering and turn customer challenges into roadmap influence.
Qualities we look for
- 7-10+ years in Solution Architecture, Solution Consulting, or Technical Pre-Sales - ideally within language technology, or localization or enterprise SaaS or system integrator environment.MC
- Strong familiarity with the modern AI and localization stacks - MCP, CLI, Claude code, TMS, Machine translation API integration patterns, Translation Memory and Glossary workflows, CMS integrations, and REST/webhook API architecture. You don't need to have built all of these but you need to know how they fit together and where they break.
- A workflow transformation mindset - you think in before-and-after states, can map a complex enterprise content pipeline, and know how to make the case for changing something an organization has relied on for years.
- Solid understanding of the LSP model - how language service providers operate, buy, and resell MT technology.
- Security and compliance fluency - comfortable discussing data residency, security posture, and governance frameworks with IT and legal audiences in regulated industries.
- Strong enterprise instincts - you've navigated localization program managers, IT architects, and C-level buyers in the same deal. You can simplify complexity and make a platform transformation feel achievable.
- Fluency in English mandatory; additional language proficiency (German, French, Spanish, Italian, or Japanese) strongly preferred given our customer base.
