Senior Localization Engineer, Applied AI

Responsibilities

• Lead the shift from automated to AI-led localization: Lead the evolution of AI/LLM-led workflows built for accelerated, simultaneous multi-language releases, focusing on product UI first.
• Shape standards and governance: Define high-standard technical best practices, system hygiene norms, and engineering documentation that the wider team can build on as you are leading through the shift.
• Build intelligence into operations: Complement existing reporting with AI-powered reporting.
• Lead, build and orchestrate: Own hands-on delivery of key initiatives while directing contracted and distributed engineering partners on others - with the judgment to know which work to keep close and which to delegate effectively.

Requirements

• We're building at the frontier of AI-led localization - which means the landscape shifts fast, and so do we. We value curiosity and a genuine drive to learn at least as much as specific tool experience. Strong foundations plus the energy to grow are highly valued. Here is what we are looking for:
• AI-forward mindset: You're energized by the pace of change in AI tooling, follow new developments actively, and bring that curiosity into your engineering work.
• LLM integration: Hands-on experience integrating LLMs (ideally Claude/Anthropic) and agentic steps into engineering workflows - building reliable, production-grade AI pipelines and programmatic model improvement.
• Internationalization & Localization engineering: Strong i18n/l10n engineering
• awareness - string externalisation, relevant frameworks, and deep familiarity with localization file formats and encoding conventions across content types.
• Translation Management Systems: Solid understanding of TMS principles -Translation Memory, Machine Translation, and next-generation integration frameworks.
• Good understanding of CI/CD and DevOps frameworks and principles.
• Strong scripting ability (Javascript, Python, Regex).
• Design for scale: Solutions that generalise across content types and delivery channels where appropriate.
• Stakeholder communication: Comfortable bridging engineering and non-engineering colleagues - linguists, project managers, developers, architects.
• Documentation discipline: Strong documentation habits - knowledge transfer is built into the role from day one.
• Distributed team collaboration: Able to work effectively with distributed teams across multiple geographies.
• #LI-AV1
• #LI-Hybrid
• This is the expected salary range for this position in the primary job location, depending on experienc
