We are looking for a German Localization QA Tester / Proofreader to join a long-term project in Austin, Texas.

As a Linguistic Tester, you'll help bring high-quality German (Germany) content to life and ensure it feels natural, accurate, and polished for end users. Your main focus will be reviewing and refining localized content, making sure it reads smoothly and is free from errors. This includes checking grammar, spelling, punctuation, consistency, formatting, and cultural or contextual accuracy.

You'll also work hands-on with products by executing test cases, identifying localization bugs, and reporting issues through internal bug-tracking systems. Once fixes are implemented, you'll help verify that they've been resolved correctly. From time to time, you'll also have the opportunity to translate content from English into German (Germany). In addition, you'll explore user interfaces to identify localization or functional issues, playing an important role in delivering a seamless and user-friendly experience.

This role is ideal for someone with native-level German (Germany) fluency, strong attention to detail, and an interest in quality assurance for digital products.

  • Write and report relevant bugs and errors using best practices through the internal database system.
  • Ability to understand and prioritize tasks and issues quickly and efficiently.
  • Native language skills and cultural awareness of German and Germany
  • Good oral and written communication.
  • Highly organized with attention to detail and a commitment to quality.
  • QA various products by accurately following testing instructions and test cases.
  • Discover and report defects (bugs) using client-specific bug-tracking tools.
  • Evaluate translations in the context of software, mobile apps, and documentation.
  • Be a subject matter expert for linguistic issues in German (Germany); be able to research and resolve linguistic questions.
  • Adhere to project-specific quality standards, trademarks, style guides, and client-preferred checklists and glossaries.
  • Troubleshoot basic problems; be able to communicate effectively and escalate testing issues.
  • Complete assigned tasks in a quality and timely manner.

Requirements:

  • Remote with occasional attendance at our offices in Austin, TX.
  • W-2 (eligible for benefits based on hours worked).
  • Monday-Friday (9:00 am - 5:00 pm, with a 1-hour lunch break, 35 hours per week).
  • To be eligible for this role, you'll need a valid visa permitting you to work in the USA.

Ideal Backgrounds: Marketing, Journalism, Copy Editing, Proofreading, Writing, Translation, and/or Localization

Benefits:

  • Accident, Critical Illness, Hospital Indemnity Insurance
  • Telemedicine Benefit
  • Paid Sick Time
  • Paid Holiday
  • Employee Assistance Program
  • Internet reimbursement up to $25/month
  • Following the eligibility requirements: Medical Insurance, Dental Insurance, Vision Insurance, HSA, Voluntary Life Insurance, 401(k) Retirement Plan
