Delivering measurable results.\n Sutherland Global Services is seeking a Senior Localization Engineer with 3-5+ years of experience in engineering multi-format localization workflows. As a Senior Localization Engineer, you'll own the TMS configuration and file engineering for a 40-language document localization engine, preparing files for the LSPs and rebuilding them cleanly once translation is complete. You'll configure the TMS's advanced filters to protect code tags in XML and InDesign IDML files, so that multi-language files import without breaking structural integrity, and you'll collaborate with project managers and coordinators who route your prepared files to the LSPs.\nResponsibilities:\nConfigure and maintain TMS server workflows, custom project templates, translation memory (TM) rules and reference corpora for 40 foreign languages.\nAnalyze, parse and prepare complex XML schemas, Adobe InDesign (IDML) and other source files so that text is extracted without tag destruction.\nBuild custom cascading import filters and Regular Expression (RegEx) rules in the TMS to lock code fragments, script tags and non-translatable text variables.\nRun pseudo-translation tests to catch character encoding issues and corruption before files are released to the LSPs.\nRebuild target-language files into their native formats after translation, including font corrections, layout flipping and XML schema integrity.\nCollaborate with program managers to map automated handoff and handback loops between content repositories and the translation pipeline.\n 3-5+ years of hands-on localization engineering experience, including multi-format workflows for 30+ simultaneous locales.\nExpert-level configuration knowledge of TMS filter architectures, including XML/HTML parsing, embedded object handling and tag control.\nStrong skills in writing Regular Expressions (RegEx) for text manipulation and tag definition.\nFamiliarity with character encodings (UTF-8, UTF-16), complex layout directions (bidirectional/RTL for Arabic and Hebrew) and double-byte character handling for CJK.\nExperience with file formats including XML, XLIFF, CSV and MS Word.\nBasic scripting capability in Python or PowerShell would be advantageous.\n Experience with memoQ is preferred.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3307,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":3,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"All
