To eliminate the hassle of localization by providing tools to automate, integrate, and better manage your translations.
Role
Who you are
- We are looking for a talented and experienced Senior Fullstack Software Engineer who excels in Backend development to join our Translation team
- 5+ years of full-stack development experience, within NodeJS, Javascript, React, CSS3 and HTML5
- Experience working with PostgreSQL/CoackroachDB, Redis and AWS (or other cloud solutions)
- Data-driven mindset by following a quantitative and qualitative research approach
- Excellent problem-solving, analytical and communication skills, with a solid ability to collaborate effectively in a fast-paced, dynamic remote startup environment
- A passion for learning, growth, and continuous improvement, staying up to date with industry trends and advancements
- Proven experience in testing, including unit and integration
- Proven experience with integrating and creating REST APIs
- Solid understanding of version control systems with proficiency in Git
Desirable
- Experience with continuous integration tools (Jenkins, Github Actions, GitlabCI)
- Experience with Event-Driven architecture
- Experience implementing E2E tests and API tests
- Experience in using Docker and containerization technologies for development and testing purposes
- Previous experience in the Localisation industry
What the job involves
- As a key player, you will contribute to our success by leveraging your technical expertise and driving translation initiatives through software development.
- You'll be at the forefront of building our next-gen platform, collaborating with dynamic teams in Product, Design, and Data to drive innovation and growth
- Together, we will continuously improve the translation capabilities and quality of our users' experiences. Through that process, we will increase our application's value for customers, helping them quickly and efficiently realize its benefits
- Design, develop, test and manage Translation features across the application
- Balance quality and speed of delivery to enable fast experimentation cycles
- Work in a cross-functional team with a Product Manager, Designer, Data Scientist and other engineers to identify opportunities and implement strategies for continuous improvement
- Contribute to the overall quality of the product by writing and maintaining tests to guarantee a high reliability in the release pipeline
- Gain in-depth product knowledge and become familiar with the software localization process globally
Our take
Localization can be a headache for companies shipping products to new markets, involving lengthy manual work and often highly general tools like Excel. Add to that the complexities of updating localization strategies to align with new agile software development methods, and it can prove a real hurdle for companies looking to expand their global footprint.
Lokalise allows for localization to be centralized and knitted more tightly into the development process, anticipating pernickety issues like formatting errors thrown up if translations require more space in the target language. This is a substantial development on translation-only services, but it’s becoming an industry standard also offered by competitors like RWS and Memsource.
What will help the relatively young Lokalise compete is a 2,500+ strong customer roster, which includes major enterprises like Revolut, Virgin Mobile, and Starbucks. It’s helped Lokalise cause a stir in the industry, and with global expansion on the rise across all major sectors, it should help the company continue its already impressive growth going forwards.
