Join Sony Interactive Entertainment as a Senior Localisation Quality Engineer, where you will play a pivotal role in enhancing the quality and readiness of localisation in our products. This position combines software engineering skills with localisation expertise, focusing on early engagement in the design phase to ensure that products are scalable and ready for localisation across various languages and regions.

Responsibilities

• Collaborate with designers, product managers, engineers, and the Localisation team to identify localisation risks early in the design phase.
• Review Figma designs and provide technical and design insights to enhance localisation readiness prior to implementation.
• Identify and mitigate design risks such as text expansion, truncation, layout issues, bidirectional languages, and cross-market scalability.
• Develop and enhance tools, automation, and processes that enable Localisation QA to detect issues earlier and at scale.
• Define best practices and guidance for designers and engineers to ensure products are ready for localisation from the outset.
• Work with design teams on design systems, UI patterns, and content structures to enhance quality and minimize downstream issues.
• Conduct hands-on Localisation QA testing across various languages, platforms, products, and regions, including linguistic, functional, visual, and internationalisation testing.
• Lead complex localisation quality initiatives while also contributing to daily testing activities as necessary.
• Create and refine localisation test strategies that encompass linguistic, functional, visual, and internationalisation quality.
• Investigate complex localisation and internationalisation issues, collaborating with engineering, design, product, and localisation teams to find root causes and solutions.
• Establish localisation quality standards and ensure these considerations are integrated throughout the product development lifecycle.
• Design and develop software, internal tools, automation, and reusable services that enhance product quality and workflow efficiency.
• Build scalable software solutions that validate product experiences across design, development, and release stages.
• Contribute to codebases and frameworks that enhance quality signals, design consistency, and localisation support.
• Partner with software engineers to improve feature readiness and quality-by-design practices.
• Integrate validation and quality workflows into modern development environments and CI/CD pipelines.
• Identify opportunities to reduce manual work and enhance localisation and product quality across workflows.
• Design and implement tools, automation, and integrations that assist teams in reviewing designs and validating content.
• Prototype and test new approaches, measure their effectiveness, and develop successful solutions for broader team use.
• Act as a liaison among design, engineering, product, and localisation teams to align quality, scalability, and user experience goals.
• Communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders, translating complex issues into actionable recommendations.
• Influence teams towards a design-led quality approach and contribute to planning, design reviews, and release readiness discussions.
• Provide technical guidance and mentorship to Localisation team members, sharing best practices in engineering, automation, localisation, and quality.
• Foster a culture of innovation, technical excellence, and continuous improvement.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Human-Computer Interaction, Design Technology, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• A minimum of 5 years of experience in software engineering, design technology, quality engineering, localisation engineering, or related product development roles.
• Proven hands-on experience in software development, with the capability to create tools, systems, integrations, or automation that address real product challenges.
• Experience collaborating closely with design teams and utilizing Figma workflows, including reviewing designs, prototypes, and user journeys.
• Understanding of localisation and internationalisation principles in digital products.
• Experience in localisation quality or testing across multilingual products, platforms, or regions.
• Strong programming skills in languages such as Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, or Java.
• Hands-on experience with AI agents, plugins, or intelligent workflow tools.
• Familiarity with APIs, structured data, system integrations, and modern software development practices.
• Knowledge of product development lifecycle, Agile methodologies, and cross-functional delivery models.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with strong product thinking and problem-solving abilities.
• Ability to operate effectively across design, engineering, product, and localisation domains.

What We Offer

• Opportunity to influence next-generation quality, localisation, and design-to-development practices.
• A dynamic and inclusive workplace that promotes technical excellence, collaboration, and global impact.
• Competitive salary, performance bonuses, and comprehensive benefits.
• Career advancement opportunities in a forward-thinking engineering environment focused on quality, localisation, automation, and intelligent systems.
