About The Position

TransPerfect is the world's largest provider of language services and technology solutions for global business, with offices in over 160 cities. This role is within a small team at TransPerfect that is building a massive internal platform: a low-code application builder designed to power the entire company's operations. This ambitious and complex project involves creating a drag-and-drop UI builder for highly dynamic, data-driven interfaces at an enterprise scale, but without the typical bureaucratic red tape. The team operates like a startup embedded within a global company, emphasizing rapid development, on-the-fly problem-solving, and building solutions from the ground up. The successful candidate will not merely work on UI but will actively help define how the entire platform functions.
