- We are seeking a Senior Localisation Quality Engineer, a highly skilled and innovative individual who brings together design-phase product thinking, software engineering expertise, localisation awareness, and technical problem solving.
- The role builds on the core responsibilities of a Senior Localisation QA Engineer, combining strong localization quality expertise with software engineering, automation, and earlier involvement in the product design and development lifecycle.
- This role is ideal for someone who has worked closely with design teams in Figma, has experience reviewing and validating designs before implementation, understands how localisation impacts product and UI design, and can build scalable technical solutions to improve quality across the product lifecycle. You will partner with design, engineering, product, and localisation teams to identify risks early, improve design quality and localisation readiness, and create tools, systems, and solutions that enable faster and smarter delivery.
- Rather than focusing only on post-implementation testing, this role emphasises early engagement in the design phase, including reviewing Figma files, prototypes, design systems, user flows, and content structures to ensure they are scalable, testable, and ready for localisation across languages and regions. You will also contribute as a hands-on engineer, building software, automation, integrations, and AI-driven solutions such as agents, assistants, or plugins that improve workflows, validation, and quality decision-making.
- The ideal candidate combines strong software development skills, experience working with design systems and Figma-based workflows, practical understanding of localisation and internationalisation, and hands-on interest in engineering solutions to product and quality challenges.
Требования
- BS/BA in Computer Science, Engineering, Human-Computer Interaction, Design Technology, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
- - 5+ years of experience in software engineering, design technology, quality engineering, localisation engineering, or related product development roles. - Strong hands-on experience in software development, with the ability to build tools, systems, integrations, or automation that solve real product challenges. - Experience working closely with design teams and Figma workflows, including reviewing designs, prototypes, component systems, and user journeys before implementation. - Experience validating or testing Figma designs for quality, scalability, localisation readiness, and implementation feasibility. - Practical understanding of localisation and internationalisation principles in digital products. - Experience with localisation quality or testing across multilingual products, platforms, or regions. - Strong programming skills in one or more languages such as Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, or Java. - Hands-on experience building or experimenting with AI agents, plugins, copilots, or intelligent workflow tools. - Experience with APIs, structured data, system integrations, and modern software development practices. - Familiarity with developer collaboration tools such as GitHub, JIRA, and Confluence. - Strong understanding of product development lifecycle, Agile methodologies, and cross-functional delivery models.
- Experience with Figma design systems, component libraries, and design-to-development workflows.
- Experience creating or contributing to Figma plugins, design validation tools, or workflow extensions.
- Experience building AI agents, assistants, or plugins for design, engineering, content, or localisation use cases.
- Experience influencing product quality earlier in the lifecycle through design review and engineering collaboration.
- Familiarity with multilingual product development, translation workflows, or international launch readiness.
- Experience in video games, consumer technology, digital entertainment, or large-scale product environments.
- Fluency in one or more non-English languages is a plus.
Условия
- The opportunity to shape next-generation quality, localisation, and design-to-development practices.
- A dynamic and inclusive workplace where technical excellence, collaboration, and global impact thrive.
- Competitive compensation, performance bonuses, and comprehensive benefits.
- Career growth opportunities in a forward-looking engineering environment focused on quality, localisation, automation, intelligent systems, and early product excellence.
