This hands-on role requires expertise in APIs, AI, and internationalization to solve complex technical challenges and consult with internal teams on global content readiness.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and maintain the core automation workflows for the content lifecycle using agentic workflows, Python, and APIs.
• Connect the TMS with content sources, repositories, and other internal tools.
• Research, evaluate, and implement cutting-edge localization technologies, including AI/LLM-based solutions and advanced TMS features.
• Act as the authority for resolving high-impact architectural failures and conduct root cause analysis on complex integration issues.
• Consult with product and engineering teams by providing expert technical guidance and conducting i18n code audits.
• Define best practices to ensure new experiences and features are architected for seamless localization.
• Serve as the primary technical owner of Translation Management Systems (e.g., XTM, Smartling), responsible for configuration, maintenance, and optimization.
• Develop and deploy 'self-service' tools for dev teams, such as pseudo-localization pipelines and i18n auditing, to enable early detection of issues.

Requirements

• 6-8 years of experience in software or globalization engineering with a proven track record of architecting localization solutions at scale.
• Expert-level proficiency in Python and leveraging APIs to build and maintain custom automation frameworks and system integrations.
• Experience with enterprise CMS or MSM platforms (e.g., Adobe Experience Manager).
• Proven, hands-on experience implementing and utilizing AI in localization workflows (e.g., custom MT pipelines, quality estimation, prompt engineering for LLMs).
• Deep technical understanding of the localization landscape, including TMS architecture, content parsing, and a wide variety of file formats (JSON, XML, XLIFF, properties, etc.).
• Ability to conduct code-level i18n reviews and provide actionable feedback to developers.
