Amazon is one of the most innovative and customer-centric e-commerce businesses on earth. Aiming at improving the experience of its customers, Amazon has been the pioneer of many innovations. Did you know that customers can use amazon.de in 5 more languages other than German? They can shop using the website in Turkish, Polish, English, Dutch and Czech! This is where we need you!

We are currently looking for a motivated and talented Dutch linguist to join our Localization Team in Barcelona as a Translation Specialist (DE-NL).

What is so special about our team?

As the Amazon Localization Team we have more than 100 Translation and Outsourcing Specialists coming from more than 15 different nationalities and based in 3 international locations! Working with this multicultural team, you will help us deliver excellence not only to our European customers but to all customers around the world.

The Role:
As a Dutch Translation Specialist, you will:
- Post-edit machine-translated output in an efficient way to improve the information on the detailed product pages in Dutch on the website.
- Conduct quality checks by proofreading and reviewing work from your peers and external vendors and also provide feedback and coaching when needed.
- Maintain a terminology base for Dutch.
- Control and improve the quality of machine-translation engines.
- Provide ad-hoc and varied linguistic support (translation, linguistic review, testing) for other internal customers.

We are proud to say that in our team, the scope of a Translation Specialist is not limited to linguistic tasks. Depending on your skills and interests, you will have opportunities to get involved in hiring, training, mentoring, technical or business support, project and people management.

We do not expect you to be able to do everything. We work as a team with everyone bringing their own unique strengths and mix them together for perfection. We provide trainings to help everyone succeed and grow.
