Localization Salary Jobs in Dallas, TX (NOW HIRING)

THE ROLE:

ProbablyMonsters is seeking a Localization Lead to own localization standards, terminology, and the quality bar across all titles and marketing. This is a hands-on role in Unreal Engine keeping content localization-ready, troubleshooting in-game, and holding the quality bar on all localized output. The ideal candidate brings strong Unreal fluency, experience managing vendor and client processes, and sound quality and aesthetic judgment. This is a full-time, on-site role located in Fort Worth, TX.

WHO YOU ARE:

• You have sound quality and aesthetic judgment and take pride in setting and holding a high bar for localized content.
• You are a clear, confident communicator who can align stakeholders across game teams, vendor partners, and cross-functional teams.
• You lead through discipline, ownership and influence, comfortable being the point of contact for a specialized function across multiple game teams.
• You are comfortable working directly in engine to catch issues before they reach players.
• You are able to build and run processes that scale a quality bar across multiple products.
• You collaborate naturally across disciplines, partnering with UI, engineering, and vendor teams to solve problems early rather than downstream.
• You are adaptable and comfortable owning ambiguity in a dynamic environment, where roles and responsibilities can shift with business needs.

WHAT YOU WILL DO:

• Serve as the primary point of contact for game teams on localization.
• Set and maintain localization quality standards and establish and hold the quality bar on localized output.
• Support kick-off alignment with stakeholders on process, target languages, budget forecast, and tooling before production localization begins.
• Review UI designs early in production for localization-readiness, partnering directly with the UI team before string lock.
• Work in Unreal Engine on string cleanup and review before vendor handoff, UI localization readiness evaluation, and in game troubleshooting.
• Partner with the UI team to create fully localized shared components.
• Manage vendor relationships and hand-offs, with production support.
• Collaborate with Engineering on structural pipeline and tooling.

QUALIFICATIONS:

• Current, hands-on Unreal Engine fluency: string tables, localization workflows, and UI localization readiness assessment.
• Proven ability in localization for interactive content, including standards, terminology, and quality bar ownership.
• Working knowledge of localization fundamentals: terminology and style guide management, text expansion and truncation, font and glyph coverage, RTL and CJK handling, and pseudo localization.
• Ability to establish a quality bar across multiple products and put in place processes to attain it.
• Ability to evaluate UI designs for localization readiness and give clear, actionable feedback to UI and design teams early in production.
• Experience managing vendor relationships and client hand-offs.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with demonstrated ability to collaborate with game teams, vendor partners, and cross-functional stakeholders.

PREFERRED SKILLS:

• Experience leading localization across multiple shipped titles.
