Job description

About the Role

We are looking for a Front-end Localization Engineer to join our UI engineering team and play a key role in delivering high-quality, localized user experiences across our SaaS platform. Blend your strong front-end engineering expertise; React and modern web technologies, with hands-on localization engineering.  You will enjoy building scalable interfaces while shaping how products reach a global audience. Create user interfaces that work seamlessly across languages and regions. Help design, build, and evolve our localization processes to ensure internationalization is embedded into the front-end from the start.

Location - We are flexible on remote working from home, if you are located in the USA and reside in one of the following states - CA, CO, CT, FL, GA, *IL, KS, MD, ME, MA, NJ, NC, NY, OH, OR, TN, TX, VA, and WA. We have physical offices in Austin, TX and Tampa, FL, if you prefer a hybrid option.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Front-end & Localization Engineering: Apply your front-end engineering expertise to design, implement, and maintain scalable internationalized UI solutions. Work directly in the codebase to integrate localization into React components, manage localization files, and make UI and architectural adjustments that preserve performance, accessibility, and translation quality. Continuously evaluate and adopt tools and technologies that improve localization workflows, scalability, and developer experience.
  • UI Localization Implementation & QA: Extract and manage new or updated UI strings, coordinate translation efforts with internal teams and external vendors, respond to translator questions, and ensure translations are correctly implemented in the front-end. Validate localized builds across languages and regions, support localization QA and bug reporting processes, and partner with engineers and designers to resolve UI, layout, and functional issues related to localization.
  • Cross-functional Localization Ownership: Serve as a key front-end–focused point of contact for localization across the product, with a strong emphasis on international customer experience. Independently identify, investigate, and resolve localization and internationalization issues throughout the UI. Manage localization readiness for each product release and act as a technical bridge between Front-end Engineering, Localization, Design, and other stakeholders, ensuring clear, effective communication and smooth delivery of localized features.
  • Other Duties as needed.

About You

  • Bachelor’s degree or equivalent work experience in Computer Science or Engineering.
  • 3+ years of professional experience in front-end or software engineering roles.
  • 2+ years working with React, JavaScript, and CSS.
  • Localization engineering experience including internationalization, localization, adaptive UI, and responsive design principles.
  • You are Bilingual, with strong verbal and written communication skills in English and at least one additional language.
  • Experience building component-based, reusable UI components, using design systems and tools such as Figma and Storybook or others.
  • Working knowledge of Python, including basic automation scripting or development workflows.
  • Experience with localization-related workflows, including Computer-Assisted Translation (CAT) tools.
  • Familiarity with front-end testing frameworks and an understanding of how and why to write effective test cases. 
  • Strong collaborator who can effectively bridge diverse teams across cultures and facilitate seamless cross-departmental cooperation.
  • Highly self-sufficient and proactive, comfortable independently managing projects from start to finish.
  • Experience working in a
