What the job involves

We are looking for a talented and experienced Senior Platform Engineer to join our Platform team
This team is responsible for building and maintaining Lokalise PaaS solution
You will empower the Lokalise Product Engineering team by constructing and upholding infrastructure, enhancing tooling, refining developer experience, and participating in resolving incidents
Enhance the organization's SaaS solution with a scalable, secure, highly available, and reliable platform
Proactively detect technology stack risks/control gaps and automate routine tasks for increased operational efficiency
Evaluate current processes, and suggest enhancements or new approaches, including observability, upgrades, tuning, etc., to optimize performance
Collaborate closely with Product and Engineering teams to deliver top-tier infrastructure components
Identify opportunities to optimize developer workflows and enhance overall productivity
Facilitate internal knowledge transfer to colleagues through communication and effective documentation of technical processes, procedures, and systems

Our take

Localization can be a headache for companies shipping products to new markets, involving lengthy manual work and highly general tools like Excel. Add to that the complexities of updating localization strategies to align with new agile software development methods, and it can prove a real hurdle for companies looking to expand their global footprint.

Lokalise allows for localization to be centralized and knitted more tightly into the development process, anticipating pernickety issues like formatting errors thrown up if translations require more space in the target language. This is a substantial development on translation-only services, but it’s becoming an industry standard also offered by competitors like RWS and Memsource.

What will help Lokalise compete is a strong customer roster, which includes major enterprises like Revolut, Virgin Mobile and Starbucks. It’s helped Lokalise cause a stir in the industry, and with global expansion on the rise across all major sectors, it should help the company continue its already impressive growth going forwards.
