Making the world’s videos watchable in any language

Why join us?

At Papercup, we’re doing something totally new: making the world’s videos watchable in any language through the power of AI. It takes diverse people to make this happen because together they make the best things. No kidding – the team speaks 20 languages. It takes people who are comfortable forging a path; people unafraid to own their roles, embrace learning and fail fast. And this only happens in a workplace that truly values people, nurtures their potential and empowers their growth. Creating something that's never existed offers big rewards, best of all – the chance to make your mark. To be one part of a team breaking down language barriers and empowering millions of people to watch content in their own language.

Life

We value work-life balance, so we’re a hybrid workplace with a flexible mindset: we come into the office two days a week. We're big on food – whether it's breakfasting together (resident favourites: rugelach and bagels) or rinsing the office snacks. When it comes to socialising, we're here for it all! Safaris, Center Parcs, 13th-century castles or the local food market.

And yes, we love animals—so much so that dogs are basically part of the leadership team!
