Meet the team behind this journey Voice for Meetings builds DeepL's real time AI voice technology for professional collaboration. The team works on in call transcription, translation, and voice intelligence, delivered live across the meeting platforms people already use every day. The engineering problems are genuinely hard. Everything happens in real time, latency is measured in milliseconds, and quality is immediately visible to the person on the call. The team sits close to our applied science colleagues, so engineering and research work side by side rather than at arm's length. This is also one of the most consequential products at DeepL right now. Voice for Meetings sits on the critical path for the next phase of the company's growth, which means the work is visible, the decisions matter, and the team has real influence over where the product goes. You will lead a small, senior team and work day to day alongside a Principal Product Manager and the team's most senior technical lead. Your responsibilities As Senior Engineering Manager for Voice for Meetings, you will lead the engineering team building DeepL's real time AI voice products. This is a hands on leadership role. You will be accountable for what the team builds and how well it works, and you will be close enough to the code to have a real opinion about it. Lead, develop, and grow a small team of senior engineers, owning hiring, performance, and career development. Drive end to end delivery of real time voice features from architecture through to production, holding a high bar for quality and pace at the same time. Own the technical direction for your team's systems. Stay close enough to the detail to challenge senior engineers credibly and to get into the code yourself when it helps. Work in a tight loop with your Principal Product Manager and senior technical lead, shaping what gets built rather than receiving a finished plan. Operate confidently at the boundary with applied science. Understand how inference, preprocessing, and training data drift affect the product, and translate between model realities and delivery commitments. Make and communicate clear technical trade offs under real constraints, including latency budgets, model quality, and timelines. Spot risks and gaps beyond y
