Smartcat is on a mission to become the wall-to-wall Language AI platform, addressing the diverse needs in multilingual content for various user personas within global enterprises.
Smartcat is uniquely positioned within the $100+ billion multilingual content industry, which is currently served by tens of thousands of agencies. This results in a highly fragmented and inefficient supply chain, high costs, unacceptable turnaround times, and quality issues. Using highly qualified internal resources to translate or create multilingual content (insourcing) solves the quality problem for enterprises, but if done manually, it can't solve for scalability, high cost, and slow turnaround.
Smartcat changes the ROI equation in favor of insourcing with its Language AI platform for enterprise end-users. It delivers high-quality, instantaneous AI translations or generates new content in any language by tapping into a customer-specific multilingual content library. The AI output is further refined through human editing by the client's internal reviewers or experts from the Smartcat's embedded global marketplace of linguists and content editors. This AI output continuously improves through the editing feedback loop, ensuring consistent and customer-tailored results.
More than 1,000 global companies including ~20% of the Fortune 1,000 trust Smartcat to communicate their innovations and ideas all over the world.
As a dynamic Series C company, Smartcat is growing at 130% YoY, thanks to the high and quick ROI it delivers to global enterprises. It's well-funded by notable VCs, and is capital efficient, offering a unique blend of hyper-growth potential with downside protection and the capacity for long-term planning and strategy.
Mission
Smartcat develops a collaboration platform that brings together buyers of localization services (end customers) and suppliers (localization agencies and freelance linguists). You will play a critical role in the most exciting part of our journey from a post-Series B startup to a company exceeding $1b in GMV.

You will work with several dedicated engineers, designers, BI analysts, QA engineers, marketing and sales specialists to ensure product adoption and growth. You will own the process of tracking usage data, defining product improvement hypotheses, planning the long-term roadmap and the day-to-day work, tracking the execution, and delivering results on time. You will have a unique opportunity to work on the verge of modern linguistic technologies and drive the whole language industry forward.
Your outcomes will be
- You will have a product roadmap defined for the next quarter for the technical areas of the product you're responsible for, and own this roadmap and delivery schedule further
