Overview
Smartling is an AI-native translation platform that's redefining how the world's biggest brands go global — ranked #3 on Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies list. We're growing rapidly at scale and are backed by Battery Ventures, a global technology-focused investment firm. While most companies are still figuring out how to use AI, we've spent years building it into the core of our platform — and we're just getting started.
The Solution Architect/Technical Implementation Manager is part of the Professional Services team at Smartling. The mission of the team is to help customers rapidly integrate Smartling solutions in a way that is sustainable and scalable.

You will be leading various technical integrations and implementations, solving the most challenging problems in the content localization space, and designing sustainable solutions to support our customers’ growing localization needs.

We are looking for a professional who has a track record of successfully designing and implementing enterprise-grade technical solutions, who communicates complex concepts and ideas effectively, and who demonstrates creativity in solving challenging problems for customers. We are considering candidates based in the East and Central time zones only at this time.
