What You'll Work On:
Localization Operations:
- Proactively monitor string/label drop cycles, coordinate with localization vendors, and track delivery across active repos and projects — flagging risks early and escalating as needed

- Support engineer onboarding to localization workflows and file handling best practices

- Project manage quality initiatives such as glossary localization and translation cleanup
- Surface process gaps and flag them for senior team review
- Help troubleshoot localization bugs and contribute to ongoing quality improvement efforts
- Pick up new tools and processes quickly
- Build relationships naturally — you earn trust by being reliable and easy to work with
- Take initiative — you notice gaps, act on them, and follow through to completion
- Know when to escalate rather than waiting indefinitely for a response
- Communicate with precision — you know the difference between an FYI and an action item
- Are curious about why things break, not just how to fix them
- Bachelor's degree in Localization Management, Language Translation, Translation Technology, or a related field — or equivalent practical experience
