About the Role

Circle is looking for two long term freelance translators for Spanish, specifically the European Spanish variant (es-ES). You will translate software UI text and online marketing content from English into clear, natural Spanish that reflects local language and cultural conventions. Your work will help Circle deliver a consistent, culturally relevant product and customer experience for Spanish speaking audiences.

After onboarding, you will work autonomously and asynchronously with Circle and the other Spanish translator, sharing work based on availability and coordinating coverage when needed. This is a remote independent contractor engagement with limited meetings and regular Slack collaboration.

What You Will Be Doing

• Translate English software UI text delivered as keys, preserving meaning, clarity, tone, variables, and formatting requirements.
• Translate online marketing content into persuasive, natural Spanish for the intended audience and confirmed regional variant.
• Apply Circle's translation guidelines, glossary, and style guide consistently across all assigned work.
• Use Circle approved key based translation tools and other approved systems, including any approved AI tools.
• Review and resolve quality assurance issues identified during linguistic review.
• Communicate your availability, typical turnaround time, and delivery risks asynchronously in Slack.
• Coordinate with Circle and the other Spanish translator to share work and maintain continuity when you are unavailable.

What You Will Need to Be Successful

• Demonstrated professional experience translating software user interface text into Spanish.
• Demonstrated professional experience translating online marketing content into Spanish.
• Professional experience working in key based translation or localization tools rather than only document based translation workflows.
• Native level command of the confirmed Spanish variant and strong comprehension of English source content, demonstrated through relevant professional work.
• Ability to work independently, follow detailed language guidance, and make sound judgment calls when source context is incomplete.
• Willingness to participate in a review loop by investigating, reporting, and correcting quality assurance issues.
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills in English (CEFR C2 or equivalent), as most collaboration at Circle happens asynchronously.

Bonus Points

• Familiarity with online communities, creator economy products, or software used by creators.
• Experience localizing content for a SaaS, membership, community, or other digital product.

Compensation

This is a freelance contractor engagement paying $35 an hour, with U.S. benchmarked compensation and equity, regardless of where you live.
