About Engineering At LILT
LILT is a high-performance, large-scale language translation system. We invest in and prioritize workflow (i.e., usability and interface design) and backend AI systems. Since the translation workforce is distributed worldwide, there are interesting cloud engineering problems to solve. We have a strong preference for building our own technology, so you’ll be implementing and working with the latest natural language processing (NLP) techniques and ideas.
Where You’ll Work
This position can be based out of our Emeryville, CA or Indianapolis, IN offices and will be expected to work in the office in a hybrid capacity. Additional locations include the Boston metropolitan area where you will start as fully remote and then transition to hybrid once offices are opened in those locations.
Authorization to work in the U.S. is a precondition of employment.
What You’ll Do
As a Senior Full Stack Software Engineering, Global Experience (GX), you will work with a group of talented, mission-driven colleagues to propose ideas to define, drive, and execute projects on LILT’s GX API and connectors platform–the front door to our machine translation services. You will enable customers to deliver multilingual journeys and to provide truly localized experiences. GX is at the forefront of the company strategy, therefore this is a high-visibility, high-impact role with enormous growth opportunities.
You must be curious, have attention to detail, be energized by a challenging entrepreneurial environment, be comfortable thinking big while also diving deep, and be open to experimenting and iterating on processes as the company grows.

Skills And Experience
Our founders, Spence and John met at Google working on Google Translate. As researchers at Stanford and Berkeley, they both worked on language technology to make information accessible to everyone. They were amazed to learn that Google Translate wasn’t used for enterprise products and services inside the company and left to start a new company to address this need – LILT.
At its core, LILT has always been a machine learning company since its incorporation on March 6, 2015. At the time, machine translation didn’t meet the quality standard for enterprise translations, so LILT assembled a cutting-edge research team tasked with closing that gap. While meeting customer demand for translation services, LILT has prioritized investments in Large Language Models, believing that this foundation was imperative to the future of enterprise translation.
