Localization Specialist - Spanish LATAM

We are a crowdfunded company and have a dedicated and enthusiastic community of backers who are helping us create the "Best Damn Space Sim Ever". We want to build the best we can deliver and we believe wholeheartedly in the value of exceptional diverse talent.

Our diverse international communities deserve an equally seamless experience in their own languages, and our Localization Specialists are key to making that happen.

As a Localization Specialist I, you'll get hands-on experience with the full localization pipeline: from translation and proofreading to subtitling and in-game testing. You'll work closely with both internal teams and external partners to ensure that every line of dialogue, UI string, and subtitle is carefully adapted to resonate with local audiences, all while maintaining the vision of our games.

Founded in 2012, Cloud Imperium Games creates cutting-edge videogames that defy expectations. We're currently developing Star Citizen, a record-breaking multiplayer online space sim, and Squadron 42, a cinematic single-player adventure set in the same universe. Join us as we break boundaries and make videogame history.
