You will seamlessly integrate high quality, up-to-date translations into that flow.• Uber's engineering style is one of continuous deployment. You will make sure the new translations that are available get to the app and services in a matter of seconds.• Uber's micro service architecture is made up of thousands of services in multiple programming languages. You will maintain a consistent experience for both developers and end users (e.g. plurals/genders, ICU / CLDR integrations, bidi, pseudo localization, i18n testing, best practices, etc.)?• Uber has a strong team of localization program managers and linguists, you will work with them to cater to their needs by adding features and building tooling.• Since internationalization is used by 1000s of other engineers are Uber you will work with teams that standardize the best practices for all of Uber engineering and take i18n to that level.
