• Strong understanding of localization engineering principles and tools and a "techy" mindset.
• Knowledge of scripting or automation tools for localization engineering.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
• The ability to thrive in dynamic environments where priorities shift and goals may be ambiguous — being proactive, resourceful, and capable of driving progress even without having all the answers upfront.

• Coordinate with product managers, engineers, and legal teams to deliver high-quality localized content.
• Develop and implement software localization strategies and workflows.
