Localization Coordinator (f/m/d)

Do you have a kean eye for speling and grammer misstakes? Do you delight in pointing out the differences between their, they're and there? Do you love thinking about the contextual and narrative merits of using one fantastic adjective instead of one merely good one? Then this is the job for you!

We are looking for a language nerd with exceptional attention-to-detail, great patience under pressure, and solid project management capabilities. These skills will be merged into our Localization Coordinator position, where you will coordinate and contribute to our 25+ in-game languages, ensuring the success of our multiple globally-accessible titles.
