We're a team of linguists, engineers, designers, and dreamers building tools that make language accessible, beautiful, and meaningful for everyone.
Our values aren't just words on a wall. They're the lens through which we make decisions, build products, and treat each other.
We communicate openly, document thoroughly, and believe that transparency builds trust.
We never stop learning. Every day is an opportunity to explore new languages, tech, and ideas.
We celebrate differences. Our team spans 30+ countries and speaks 40+ languages fluently.
We measure success by how many lives we improve, not how many tickets we close.
Work at Dictionary means collaboration, creativity, and community. Here's what that looks like day-to-day.

Quarterly team retreats, mental health days, no-meeting Fridays.
Random pairings to connect across teams and build friendships.
Anyone can share passion projects, research, or hobbies.
We invest in our people because great work starts with supported, thriving humans.
Medical, dental, vision coverage for you and your dependents. Mental health support included.
Meaningful ownership in the company. Our employees are true stakeholders.
Trust-based time off. We encourage you to rest, recharge, and return refreshed.
$2,000/year for courses, conferences, books, or language immersion programs.

No two days are exactly the same, but here's a glimpse into how our teams stay productive and connected.
Team updates drop in Slack. No morning meetings. Engineers and designers dive into focused tasks while the world wakes up.
Product, engineering, and linguistics align on upcoming features. Quick, actionable, and recorded for async viewing.
Whiteboard sessions, code reviews, or language exchange channels. Spontaneous but purposeful.
Real words from the people building Dictionary every day.
"Dictionary gave me the freedom to work across time zones while contributing to something that actually helps people learn. The culture of trust here is unmatched."
"I joined for the mission, but stayed for the people. We debate linguistics over coffee, ship fast, and genuinely care about each other's growth."
"The learning stipend helped me get certified in computational linguistics. Dictionary doesn't just use language experts—it cultivates them."
"Working here feels like being part of a thoughtful, global book club that also happens to build world-class software."
We're always looking for curious minds, empathetic builders, and passionate problem-solvers. Ready to turn a page?
