Our Story

Our founders, Spence and John met at Google working on Google Translate. As researchers at Stanford and Berkeley, they both worked on language technology to make information accessible to everyone. They were amazed to learn that Google Translate wasn’t used for enterprise products and services inside the company and left to start a new company to address this need – LILT.

At its core, LILT has always been a machine learning company since its incorporation on March 6, 2015. At the time, machine translation didn’t meet the quality standard for enterprise translations, so LILT assembled a cutting-edge research team tasked with closing that gap. While meeting customer demand for translation services, LILT has prioritized investments in Large Language Models, believing that this foundation was imperative to the future of enterprise translation.

Benefits:

  • Compensation: At market salary, meaningful equity, pension scheme contribution, and time off plus company holidays

  • Health care: Employees receive coverage of medical, dental, and vision insurance. LILT pays for basic life assurance

  • Monthly lifestyle benefit stipend via the Fringe platform to allow employees to customize benefits to their lifestyle
