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.
We want to support everyone at Papercup through life's milestones, so our benefits are designed to keep you healthy and happy in life.
Unlimited holiday.
Hybrid working and a flexible attitude.
Private Vitality health insurance or wellness bonus.

"The thing that stands out most to me about working at Papercup is how intentional everyone is about going after these big ambitious goals we have. You see it across each team."
"One of the coolest moments I've had during my time at Papercup was getting to attend Interspeech last year and see my colleagues present our research."
"We work in a way we can be our authentic self…. being yourself at work is a huge part of our culture. We celebrate our successes and of course our mistakes, otherwise how would we learn, right? Papercup is a company that is truly inclusive!”
"It has been truly amazing to see the tremendous growth of both the company and the people over the past few years. I love working here and enjoy seeing the impact of our efforts, particularly when one of our videos appears in the wild with glowing reviews."
