## Description

Welocalize, a Welo Global brand, serves localization teams through AI-enabled multilingual content solutions that enable enterprises to operate and scale globally.

We're looking for a native-level Swahili speaker to join a confidential, large-scale AI and consumer technology programme for a major global technology and communications client. In this hands-on, on-site role, you'll evaluate a pre-release AI model in Swahili and test how the product performs on a client-supplied device – a smartphone and a next-generation smart glass.

**Main Responsibilities:**

- Review pre-release AI model output in Swahili and assess its accuracy, naturalness, appropriateness, and overall quality.

- Test the Swahili experience against the English one, confirming feature parity and checking the product handles non-Latin script, diacritics, right-to-left text, and mixed-language input correctly.

- Identify display problems and localization errors, writing up each issue clearly so a developer can reproduce it.

- Share your perspective as a native-level speaker on navigation, usability, and language-specific nuances.

- Work on-site in a private, secure area of the Welocalize office.

- Support other linguistic projects as needed.

**Job Requirements:**

- Native-level or fully bilingual Swahili, written and spoken, with a current feel for how the language is really used day-to-day.

- Confidence with a smartphone and a laptop, and comfort moving between iOS and Android.

- A sharp eye for detail and fair, objective judgement when assessing quality.

- The ability to work independently, follow a detailed test script and guideline, and explain an issue clearly in English.

- Previous experience in software or app testing, localization QA, or linguistic evaluation is a strong plus.
