Software Engineer, Internationalisation Platform
New Today
As a Software Engineer on the team, you will be involved in how we manage translations, deliver new localisation features, handle multiple currencies, and improve our internationalisation processes. You can look forward to being a part of a highly technical team with significant domain expertise. We oversee tools and services that are leveraged across the organization from the frontend UI to backend data.
The team also owns and orchestrates several services to manage the pipeline of translations with our localisation team. As we look toward the next 6-12 months, we aim to focus on delivering LLM workflows to improve our translation capabilities, increase the availability of our Smart Translations product, and develop new features for handling different currencies in multiple regions. Why you should join We foster a culture of psychological safety, collaboration, and work/life balance through flexible hours and structured on-call rotations. We practice a "you make it, you support it" attitude to our products and provide on-call support in case of incidents.
We offer compensation for on-call rotations and expect to maintain a very low number of incidents requiring call-out.
New engineers are onboarded to the on-call rotation gradually, typically joining the active rotation after their first 6 months and thorough training. We are committed to your growth. You will be paired with a dedicated mentor and given time for focused skill development, including opportunities to attend relevant industry conferences and a growing suite of learning & development opportunities. We enjoy a high degree of autonomy to generate innovative solutions across the entire system, learning directly from customers and suggesting cool new approaches.

You will be an active participant in all team processes including standups, backlog refinement, retrospectives, on call, and more.
