## About the Role

* 6+ years of software development, including hands-on i18n/l10n engineering and leading delivery of complex features.
 * Strong TypeScript/JavaScript (including React or React Native) plus a backend language such as Go, Java, Kotlin, or Python; or a comparable ecosystem and a track record of picking up new stacks quickly.
 * Experience applying AI/LLMs in production, with sound judgment about where automation should and shouldn't replace human review, and using AI tools across the development lifecycle.
 * Working knowledge of Unicode, ICU/CLDR, locale-aware formatting, and resource file formats.
 * A track record of building or scaling localization systems and translation pipelines.
 * Clear communication across functions and the ability to teach teams why i18n matters.

Nice to have

 * Shipped RTL/bidirectional language support in production.
 * Experience with localizability audits and pseudo-locale validation.
 * Hands-on TMS experience (Lokalise, Phrase, Smartling, Transifex) and XLIFF.
 * Fintech, remittance, or other regulated-industry experience.

## Description

* Own complex, team-level projects end to end: clarify requirements, break work into parallel tasks, and guide teammates to on-time delivery.
 * Establish the technical roadmap for internationalization engineering, balancing near-term market launches with long-term scalability.
 * Drive the build-or-buy recommendation for an AI-powered translation orchestration and governance layer, and set quality standards that hold as AI scales content.
 * Partner with Localization, Product, Design, Legal, Marketing, and engineering teams to build i18n in early and adopt shared standards.
 * Mentor engineers through code and design reviews, interviews, and onboarding.

Engineering delivery

 * Build AI/LLM-powered translation tooling: evaluate models, design quality guardrails, and integrate them into production localization pipelines.
 * Build and operate translation pipelines and i18n tooling integrated with our TMS and CI/CD, including text extraction, locale-specific rendering, and pseudo-locale testing.
 * Standardize i18n frameworks across frontend and backend for date/time, currency, pluralization, and message formatting, with static analysis that catches defects before release.
 * Fix the legacy code behind recurring translation bugs.
 * Expand language coverage: right-to-left and bidirectional support, and transliteration tooling for accurate customer identity matching across scripts., Under the Company's current hybrid-work expectations, employees in this position work onsite Tuesday through Thursday each week. Additional onsite attendance may be required based on business needs, and the Company may modify its hybrid-work expectations from time to time. These intentional in-office moments are vital for deepening relationships, fueling creativity, and ensuring your impact is felt where it matters most.
