Senior Devops Engineer (On-site)

About Translated

Translated is a leading provider of AI-powered language solutions. Founded in 1999 by a linguist and a computer scientist, we are on a mission to allow everyone to understand and be understood in their own language.

We envision a world where people from different cultures can communicate seamlessly, gaining unprecedented access to knowledge, cultural exchange, and opportunity.

To make this possible, we combine proprietary translation AI (Lara Translate) with advanced text, audio, and video translation technologies (Matecat, Matesub, and Matedub) and the world’s largest network of vetted, native-speaking language professionals.

We welcome complex technical challenges from our customers and engineer tailored solutions that often become part of our core products, whether integrated into our enterprise localization platform, the tools designed to support translators, or Lara Translate, our online AI translator for teams and individuals.

Everything we build reflects a simple principle: technology should amplify human potential, not replace it.

We believe in humans.
