- Work closely with the NLT test and project management teams (in Dublin and

- Help execute linguistic quality assurance processes to ensure that released
features maintain high linguistic standards.
- Contribute to the development of linguistic features for future Microsoft
releases.

Note: This position is open for undergraduate, graduate and post-graduate
students that have the ability to take a break in their studies. The standard
duration is 12 months.

- €21,789 annual salary. 
- 25 days’ annual holiday. 
- Discounted Microsoft products.
- Relocation assistance of three weeks’ accommodation.
