About Smartcat

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.

WHY YOU SHOULD JOIN OUR TEAM

We are building the future of software development — AI-First is the new standard. You won’t be “experimenting”; you’ll be delivering. Fast. Smart. Relentless. Join the core team that will prove AI-driven engineering is the only way forward. If you love challenges, own your outcomes, and are obsessed with delivery, you’ll thrive here.

MISSION

As an AI-First Engineer, your mission is to deliver production-quality features at a speed and scale that traditional teams cannot match. You will apply AI aggressively across every stage of the development lifecycle — from requirements and design to coding, testing, and release — and establish a new engineering benchmark for the company.

OUTCOMES

  • Consistently deliver high-quality, production-grade features faster than traditional teams.

  • Build and optimize AI-first workflows that integrate AI across all development stages.

  • Raise the bar for speed, quality, and ownership in product delivery.

  • Be a core contributor to the new engineering culture built on AI-First principles.

HOW YOU’LL RAMP

By Day 30:

  • Deeply understand our AWS, .NET, Python, MongoDB tech stack and delivery model.

  • Start shipping real features using AI at every stage: coding, testing, documenting, releasing.

  • Contribute to improving workflows for even faster delivery.

By Day 60:

  • Independently own the full lifecycle of feature delivery through AI-first methods.

  • Identify and drive improvements in velocity, automation, and team efficiency.

  • Partner with Product and Tech Leads to aggressively accelerate time-to-market.

By Day 90:

  • Deliver features faster and with higher quality than baseline teams.

  • Actively mentor others on using AI as a multiplier across development.

  • Become a key driver of the AI-First engineering standard inside the company.

WHAT YOU’VE ACCOMPLISHED:

  • Proven track record of delivering production-grade products using AI-driven approach.
  • Mastery in using AI tools (Copilot/Cursor/WindSurf (etc, you choose), GPT APIs, LLMs) across the entire development lifecycle — design, code generation, testing, documentation, and release.
  • Strong technical foundation in AWS, .NET, Python, and MongoDB.
  • Obsessed with delivery: you ship, you improve, you own the outcome.
  • Comfortable moving fast, taking ownership, and constantly pushing for better, faster, smarter execution.

Why joining Smartcat might be your best move so far

  • Fully remote team

We are a global team of 200+ enthusiastic people spread across 30+ countries. We have been fully remote since 2020, with some locations populated with more Smartcaters than others, such as Boston, NYC, SF, the Bay Area, London, and Lisbon.

  • Innovating a $100 Billion industry

Smartcat’s innovative approach towards multilingual content, taps into a $100B industry. Our platform enables enterprise end users to stop using traditional outsourcing methods, and start enjoying an easy-to-use, AI-powered SaaS, that delivers immediate high-quality results, at a fraction of the cost.

  • High impact role enabling innovation and inclusion in organizations

You will enjoy building with us. You will drive changes in how an old-fashioned global language industry operates while improving how hundreds of thousands of people work and millions of people exchange knowledge and ideas worldwide.

  • Join the rocketship to scale-up 10x and beyond together

We are looking for someone to become an integral part of our team and play a crucial role in the most exciting part of our journey: transitioning from a post-Series C startup to a company exceeding $100M in ARR and $1B in valuation. Our journey isn’t for the faint of heart. We are growing at 130% YoY, thanks to our strong product-market fit and high-performing team, and plan to accelerate from here.

  • Smartcat Culture : Where Diversity Meets High Performance At Smartcat, we are committed to building a culture that highlights respect and appreciation for each individual’s unique background and perspective, while maintaining a strong focus on results and clear, honest and direct communication.
