As a Localization Manager, you will ensure that our recently announced game Exoborne, an open-world tactical extraction shooter set in the post-apocalyptic US, is suitable for release to our players across all target platforms and markets.
You will be responsible for managing the localization work and cooperating closely with internal and external stakeholders. The goal is to ensure that the localized version of our game provides the same quality of experience to all players, regardless of the language they play in. This includes internationalization, multilingual text database handling, evangelizing, and coaching on best practices for game localization, as well as supporting the internal teams and our external translation and language quality assurance teams, both linguistically and technically.

You are passionate about collaborating and building relationships and love the idea of working with multiple stakeholders to present the game in the best light possible. And perhaps above all, you’re greatly motivated by the endeavor to standardize and push forward our localization efforts.

Be the champion for internationalization, culturalization, and localization to ensure any cultural and technical localization issues are caught early.
Drive continuous operational improvements. Actively participate in the continuous work on refining existing pipelines and processes for localization tools, workflows, and middleware.
