Company mission

To eliminate the hassle of localization by providing tools to automate, integrate, and better manage your translations.

Role

Who you are

  • Proven experience on frontend development, within TypeScript, React, modern CSS, and Semantic HTML
  • Excellent problem-solving, analytical, and communication skills, with a solid ability to collaborate effectively in a fast-paced, dynamic remote startup environment
  • Strong knowledge of software design principles and architectural patterns
  • Proven experience in testing, including unit and integration
  • Proven experience with integrating REST APIs

Desirable

  • Experience on templating systems such as Twig, Handlebars, Mustache
  • Experience with NextJS/Remix

What the job involves

  • We are looking for a talented and experienced Senior Frontend Engineer to join our Home squad.
  • This squad is responsible for managing parts of our flagship product, such as AI Translations, AI Automations and much more, helping our customers streamline their localisation processes, making them seamless and cost-effective while maintaining high-quality standards
  • Design, develop, test, and manage new features across the application, as well as maintain and further expand current features
  • Balance quality and speed of delivery to enable fast cycles
  • Work in a cross-functional team with a Product Manager, UX Designer, Engineering Manager and a team of experienced engineers to identify opportunities, and implement strategies for continuous improvement
  • Mentor other engineers, fostering a culture of continuous learning and improvement
  • Gain in-depth product knowledge and become familiar with the software localization process over the globe
  • Offer and promote your improvement ideas on overall product scope, leveraging your expertise

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.
