About the role

Machine-translated subtitles range from perfectly natural to hilariously wrong — and the difference is often invisible to automated quality metrics. BLEU scores can't tell you that a subtitle is grammatically correct but culturally inappropriate, or that it's technically accurate but reads at a pace no human can follow. Our QA system catches the quality issues that metrics miss. You'll build quality checks that go beyond translation accuracy: reading speed validation (characters per second must match subtitle display duration), line break optimization (subtitles shouldn't split in the middle of a phrase), timing alignment verification (subtitles must appear when the speaker starts, not 2 seconds late), and cultural sensitivity flagging for potentially inappropriate translations. The localization QA team is three engineers. You'll start with the timing and reading speed validators — objective checks that can be fully automated. As you learn the domain, you'll progress to the more subjective quality dimensions that require ML-based assessment.

Fully remote.
