Work at Lingo.dev
We help product engineers turn LLMs into stateful translation APIs — consistent, production-grade translations for apps, docs, and content across every language.
What we build
Lingo.dev is an AI-powered localization engineering platform. It helps product engineers turn LLMs into stateful translation APIs — to produce consistent, production-grade translations for apps, docs, and content across every language.
We started at a hackathon, won best dev tool, and kept building. We went through the world's best tech accelerator (Y Combinator) and raised venture funding to keep building localization tools that must exist but don't yet.
Today, we have hundreds of real users, more than 5,000 GitHub stars, over 4,000 Discord community members, a CLI that runs more than 7,000 times every week, and over 100 million translated words processed through our platform. What we build: APIs, CLI, CI/CD integrations, third-party service connections, AI agents, background workflows, and dashboards — so product teams can ship in every language without localization slowing them down.
We're an international remote team of senior engineers who like working on hard problems. We use our own tools. We talk directly to the people using them. And we figure most things out as we go.

How we work
Small team, full ownership
We own systems end-to-end — from CLIs to UI/UX design to database migrations. Every Friday we do a Demo Day and show what we shipped to production that week.
Love the craft
We're a team of senior engineers who like what they do and spent years getting good at it. We use our own platform daily, obsess over API ergonomics, and rewrite things that work if they could work better.
Be ready to be wrong
We talk to customers directly and figure most things out as we go. When real usage contradicts an assumption, the assumption gets updated, not the user.
Ship with AI
Claude Code, MCP servers, AI agents — we use them all day, every day. They're part of how we write code, review PRs, and debug production issues. We actively explore new AI tools and share what works.
Manage yourself
We're all human — sometimes focus drifts. Catching it is the skill: change context, ask for help, whatever breaks the loop. We trust each other to manage our own focus.
Bring energy
Positivity, grit, and drive matter here as much as technical skill. We like working together, celebrate wins, and have fun doing hard work.

Interview process
Coffee chat
30 minutes with a founder. We talk about your background, what you're looking for, and whether there's a mutual fit.
