About the role

Circle is looking for two long-term freelance translators for Spanish, with the precise regional variant European Spanish (es-ES). You’ll 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’ll 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'll 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'll 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.
