Computer linguist (f/m/d)

For 38.5 hours a week

Over 23 million people in Austria, Germany and Switzerland can’t read or understand complex information. Worldwide, that adds up to 750 million people.

A society is in danger of breaking apart if a large number of people no longer understand what is being communicated from “above”.
We can do something about it! By making information easier to understand, we can ensure that everyone understands. That is exactly what capito does.
