Intern, Software Development Engineer [PSET-Localization]

Position Overview

The localization team is looking for a motivated, technically curious intern to join for a 6-month internship. You will work with localization, language, and software engineering professionals on two key areas:

• Machine Translation (MT): improving translation quality, evaluation, and engineering workflows.
• Continuous Localization (CL): helping modernize our cloud-based localization platform and automation infrastructure.

You’ll gain hands-on experience solving real-world localization engineering problems involving AI/ML, Python, cloud technologies, automation, and multilingual data.

Responsibilities

Machine Translation & Quality

• Investigate translation quality and workflow issues and help test improvements.
• Evaluate MT quality using automated metrics and multilingual test data.
• Support data analysis, testing, and automation for translation quality.
• Explore applications of NLP, Generative AI, and Large Language Models in localization.
• Collaborate with localization, language, and engineering teams and document findings.

Continuous Localization & Cloud Engineering

• Contribute to the development and testing of cloud-native localization workflows on AWS.
• Develop Python services, automation scripts, and integrations with APIs and GitHub.
• Work with event-driven technologies, containers, and AWS services.
• Support automated testing, monitoring, troubleshooting, and production readiness.
• Help improve the scalability, reliability, and efficiency of localization workflows.

Minimum Qualifications

• Currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field, graduating in 2027 or 2028.
• Programming or scripting knowledge, preferably Python.
• Basic understanding of software development, APIs, data structures, and debugging.
• Some exposure to areas such as Machine Learning, NLP, cloud computing, or distributed systems.
• Familiarity with Git or another source-control system.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills and an interest in localization, AI, and cloud technologies.
• Internship duration: 11 January - 25 June 2027 (6 months full time).

Preferred Qualifications

• Python, data processing, or automated testing.
• Machine Learning, NLP, Machine Translation, Generative AI, or LLMs.
• AWS, Docker, serverless or event-driven architectures.
• REST APIs, webhooks, GitHub APIs, or CI/CD.
• Multilingual data or languages other than English.

Learning Benefits

• Work with production-scale Machine Translation and Continuous Localization systems.
• Gain practical experience with AI/ML, NLP, Generative AI, and multilingual data.
• Build cloud-native and event-driven services using Python and AWS.
• Learn production engineering practices including testing, monitoring, debugging, and failure recovery.
• Experience the engineering lifecycle from investigation and prototyping through testing and production readiness.
• Collaborate with localization, language, and engineering teams across multiple locations.
