At The Action Sports Translator โ the only specialized localization and content agency working exclusively with outdoor and action sports brands โ we’re looking for a Python engineer with a solid understanding of LLMs and localization to help develop and maintain our internal AI-powered translation tool in the long term. Youโll work closely with project managers and localization engineers to bring automation and efficiency to real-world localization workflows.
๐ Fully remote within CET/GMT/EESTย
Weโre only considering applicants within the listed time zones. If youโre outside these zones (e.g., GMT+4, GMT+5, PST, EST, IST, etc.), we wonโt be able to move forward with your application.
๐ Approx. 40 hours/month *
*After an initial 2-month onboarding period, weโd be happy to increase your hours, as weโre looking to build a stable, long-term collaboration. Depending on our needs and how the collaboration develops, we anticipate that the workload could increase to 60โ80 hours per month or more.
Youโll be joining a fast-moving team of localization specialists working on projects for some of the worldโs leading action and outdoor sports brands. You will work closely with our current localization and operations teams, first shadowing and supporting our Python engineer during handover and then taking over responsibilities and whole projects. You will gradually become our go-to person for AI requests related to clientsโ or TAST-internal projects.ย
๐ฏWhat you’ll be doing
- Support, develop and maintain our AI-based translation tool using Python as the primary programming language
- Investigate and implement ways to improve the quality and consistency of the AI output
- Run and monitor our AI tool on ongoing localization projects
- Help PMs prepare and structure localization projects to work seamlessly with the tool
- Analyze feedback from linguists and Project Managers, translating their insights into measurable improvements to the AI toolโs output quality.
- Act as a hybrid product owner/developer in a lean setup, balancing technical implementation with strategic input on AI tool development
๐ What we’re looking for
- Strong Python skills with experience working with LLMsย
- Solid grasp of LLMs โ how they work, when to use them and how to craft effective prompts
- Experience developing or contributing to tools in the localization space (or deep familiarity with CAT/TMS tools – preferably Phrase TMS)
- Understanding of localization concepts: translation memory, alignment, glossaries, style guides, etc.
- Proven ability to work independently and own projects end-to-end
โ ๏ธIMPORTANT: Because of the specific nature of our projects, only candidates who meet all the listed requirements will be considered.
โจ Nice to have
- Familiar with Phrase TMS and Phrase API
- Tracked record of open-source projects you created/contributed to
๐ Why youโll love it
- Your work will contribute to helping outdoor and action sports brands get their multilingual content right.
- Youโll join a highly specialized and collaborative team and work closely with our localization engineers, head of operations, translation and copywriter project and account managers in a dynamic and cooperative environment.
- Long-term collaboration and consistent workload: we’re looking to build an ongoing relationship
- Flexibility in how you organize your working day, as long as you’re responsive during the agreed CET / GMT / EEST working window
- Youโll get access to meaningful gear discounts on brands you actually use outdoors!
If you’re excited about using your coding skills and AI knowledge to drive efficiency and shape the future of localization workflows, weโd love to hear from you!ย
