About the Role

This is not a traditional translation-focused campus role.

• We are looking for culturally fluent, high-potential talents who can help us rethink how localization is done in this era — combining language excellence, creativity, and new tool adoption.

• You will work at the intersection of language, culture, technology, and games — contributing to global titles while being a part of shaping the future workflow of localization.

What You Will Do

• Conduct linguistic review, editing, and LQA for in-game content and marketing materials

• Identify cultural risks, tone inconsistencies, and localization opportunities

• Provide cultural insights and player perspective feedback to cross-functional teams

• Explore and adopt new localization tools, new workflows, and automation solutions

• Contribute to improving terminology management, QA standards, and process innovation

• Participate in discussions that shape localization strategy for your market

Who We Are Looking For

• Native-level proficiency in Korean / Japanese / English

• Deep understanding of local culture, trends, internet language, and player behavior

• Strong writing, editing, and linguistic sensitivity

• Passion for games and interactive storytelling

What We Value Beyond Language

• Creativity and design sense (tone, style, player experience awareness)

• “Language + N” profile (e.g., language + tech, language + data, language + marketing, etc.)

• Curiosity and openness toward AI and new tools

• Demonstrated ownership mindset (school projects, internships, communities)

• Empathy and collaborative personality

• Sensitivity to cross-cultural nuance and player expectations

Why Join Us

• You will not only localize games, you are not hired to “translate more,” but to think better - we value cultural sensitivity and creativity as much as language accuracy

• Long-term growth includes potential ownership of language or market-level decision, you will help redefine how global games speak to players.

• This is an opportunity to become part of a globalization system that values culture, technology, and long-term talent development.
