Love games? Love languages? As part of 2K’s Global Loc 2.0 initiative, we’re building a more embedded and quality-focused approach to localization—and LQA Analysts are at the heart of it. As an LQA Analyst I, you'll be among the first to experience our games in your native language and help shape how they resonate with players across the globe.

This is an entry-level role perfect for linguistically sharp, detail-oriented professionals looking to break into games or localization. You’ll test pre-release content for linguistic accuracy, cultural relevance, and UI functionality—while learning the tools, systems, and collaboration models that bring 2K’s global experiences to life.
