  • Collaborate with engineering, product, design, and QA teams to resolve localisation issues and ensure UI/UX works across languages.
  • Conduct functional, linguistic, and UI testing for localised builds, troubleshooting issues like text expansion, truncation, or display errors.
  • Build and maintain localisation documentation, style guides, glossaries, and best practices.
  • Continuously improve localisation infrastructure for scalability, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness.

What We're Looking For

  • Proven experience as a localisation engineer or in a related technical role.
  • Strong understanding of localisation and internationalisation principles.
  • Proficiency in scripting or programming (e.g., Python, JavaScript) to automate workflows.
  • Hands-on experience with localisation platforms such as Crowdin, Smartling, or comparable TMS/CAT tools.
  • Familiarity with continuous integration/deployment (CI/CD) and automation of localisation within build pipelines.
  • Strong problem-solving skills, with the ability to debug technical and linguistic issues.
  • Excellent collaboration and communication skills to work across teams.
  • Attention to detail and a commitment to delivering high-quality, global-ready products.

Technical Stack

  • Languages: Python, JavaScript
  • Formats: JSON, XML, XLIFF
  • Tools: Git, Crowdin, Smartling

Team & Environment

You will partner directly with product managers, engineers, designers, and linguists to deliver a cohesive, global product experience.

Benefits & Compensation

  • Flexible work with a hybrid environment.
  • Additional paid day off for your birthday and wellness days.
  • A generous personal development budget of $500 per annum.
  • Learn from some of the best engineers and creatives, joining a diverse team.
  • Become an owner, with shares (equity) in the company.
