Join Duolingo's Localization team within Scaling Operations to build durable, scalable systems that support localization across 30+ UI languages for a half-billion-person user base. This role owns end-to-end localization programs, transforming complex, high-volume work into repeatable, low-touch operations that accelerate product launches while maintaining quality and efficiency.
You will drive automation and system improvements to scale localization from 0-to-1 and beyond, leveraging technology (AI, CMSs, CAT tools) to simplify content production, increase repeatability, and improve transparency. You'll own metrics for your vertical to inform strategy, decision-making, and prioritization across the localization function.
Working cross-functionally with Product, Engineering, Design, Marketing, and language partners, you'll develop localization strategy and roadmaps, establish best practices, and create workflows and tooling that increase throughput and quality. You'll influence without authority, aligning diverse stakeholders to drive decisions and translating insights into actionable engineering requirements and scalable workflow specifications.
Ideal candidates bring demonstrated experience crafting localization strategy and systems for new features in consumer app environments, tech-savviness with localization tools and AI, and excellent cross-functional communication skills. Exceptional candidates have hands-on experience with localization quality frameworks, familiarity with internationalization engineering concepts (Unicode, message formats), and experience supporting product growth in emerging or high-complexity language markets.
