• 6+ years of software development experience, including internationalization/localization engineering and leading complex feature delivery.
• Strong programming skills in Golang and JavaScript/TypeScript, including React Native and modern frameworks like Next.js and Astro.
• Experience applying AI/LLMs in production workflows, with judgment on automation versus human review; translation or content pipeline experience is ideal.
• Working knowledge of internationalization standards and locale-aware formatting (Unicode, ICU/CLDR-based libraries).
• Proven ability to build or evolve localization systems and translation pipelines at scale.
• Experience with modern software development practices including code reviews and secure coding standards.

Nice to have:

• Experience shipping right-to-left (RTL) and bidirectional language support in production.
• Experience with localizability audits and pseudo-locale validation.
• Hands-on experience with TMS platforms such as Lokalise, Phrase, Smartling, and Transifex, ICU/CLDR internals, and localization interchange formats like XLIFF.
• Experience in fintech or regulated industries.

• Own complex, team-level projects end-to-end: clarify requirements, break work into tasks, and guide teammates toward on-time delivery.
• Build AI/LLM-powered translation and orchestration tooling: evaluate models, design quality guardrails, and integrate into production localization pipelines.
• Build and maintain localization infrastructure, translation pipelines, and i18n tooling integrated with translation management systems (TMS).
• Design CI/CD-integrated solutions for locale-specific rendering, text extraction, translation workflows, and pseudo-locale validation.
• Standardize i18n frameworks and libraries across frontend and backend systems for handling date/time, currency, pluralization, and message formatting.
• Build static code analysis and linting tooling to catch i18n defects before release and harden existing code paths.
• Expand language coverage including right-to-left and bidirectional support and transliteration tooling.
• Operate built services and tooling with monitoring, debugging, and reliability improvements.
• Collaborate with backend, mobile, web, and content teams and mentor engineers through code reviews and design discussions.
