Responsibilities
- Drive DeepL's headless distribution surfaces
- Engineering owns the DeepL MCP server and CLI. You own the reach of both.
- Partner with Engineering, Design, and Product to ensure DeepL's MCP and CLI fit naturally into how developers build, ship, and integrate agentic workflows
- Drive MCP discoverability across the Claude ecosystem, ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, and emerging agent marketplaces
- Drive CLI adoption through package registries (npm, pip, Homebrew), GitHub visibility, developer toolchains, CI/CD examples, and starter kits
- Work with the Partner team to incorporate MCP and CLI surfaces into hyperscaler marketplaces and co-sell motions
- Monitor the agentic tooling and developer ecosystem, identify emerging distribution opportunities, and bring ecosystem intelligence back to Product and Engineering
- Own the headless activation funnel
- The strategy bets on usage-led growth through MCP and CLI adoption. You own the funnel from install to paid usage.
- Instrument the activation funnel end-to-end, from MCP install or CLI OAuth through first successful translation and first paid character
- Shape the free-tier strategy, onboarding experience, and adoption patterns that optimise conversion
- Identify and remove the highest-friction step in the funnel, bringing structural issues back to Product and Engineering with evidence
- Report on the headless funnel as a leading indicator of ecosystem growth and adoption
- Build the artefacts developers reach for
- The distribution work that compounds fastest is the repository someone forks, the starter kit they adopt, or the implementation example their coding assistant surfaces.
- Create prompt libraries, agent templates, implementation examples, and integration guides that make DeepL the obvious choice for agentic builders
- Develop workflow documentation showing how DeepL's glossary, style, and customisation capabilities combine with agentic patterns in ways native LLM translation cannot replicate
- Build code samples and reference integrations that demonstrate production-quality usage, not toy demos
- Identify capabilities and opportunities that could unlock additional value for developers
- Create content that demonstrates practice, not features
- The scarce skill

Meet the team behind this journey The DeepL API team is helping shape one of the company's most important strategic priorities: making DeepL the translation layer inside the tools people already use and the products developers build. As AI assistants like Microsoft Copilot, Claude, and ChatGPT become embedded in everyday workflows, the question is no longer "How good is your translation?" but "Do you have an MCP?" We're building DeepL's presence across MCPs, CLIs, agent skills, prompt libraries, and marketplace integrations to ensure developers reach for DeepL first when building agentic workflows. As part of the API Product Marketing team, you'll work at the intersection of Marketing, Product, and Engineering, partnering closely with API Product Managers and Engineering leaders to help define a rapidly evolving category. This is not a traditional DevRel team-we're focused on driving adoption, shaping ecosystem strategy, and helping DeepL become the default translation layer for the next generation of AI-powered products.
