About Us
Circle is building the world’s leading AI-powered, all-in-one platform for digital businesses. We make it possible for creators, coaches, educators, and businesses to bring together their audience with engaging discussions, live streams, events, chat, courses, and payments, all in one place, all under their own brand.
We’re proud to be a fully remote company of around 270 (and growing!) team members from 30+ countries around the world. We work with talented people from around the globe who bring fresh perspectives, take ownership of their work, and make a meaningful impact on what we're building. We move quickly, hold ourselves to high standards, and value thoughtful, proactive collaboration. Our team works across time zones, embraces asynchronous communication, and prioritizes clear documentation to keep everyone aligned.
As a contractor at Circle, you'll have the opportunity to contribute to meaningful projects, collaborate with talented people, and help shape a product used by digital businesses around the world.
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.
Prepare your application
Use the description above to assess your fit for Circle. This checklist is guidance from Resumize, rather than additional requirements from the employer. Imported listings can be shortened or change after collection, so confirm the complete description and current availability before sending an application.
Match requirements to evidence
Identify the responsibilities and skills the employer explicitly names. For each important requirement, choose one example from your work, education, training, or projects. Explain what you did, how you did it, and what changed as a result. Include a measurable outcome when you can support it. If you lack a requirement, describe related experience accurately instead of adding an unfamiliar skill to your resume.
Put the most relevant examples near the top of your resume. Keep job titles, dates, qualifications, and contact details consistent across your application materials. Use the employer’s terminology when it describes your experience accurately; a copied list of keywords does not explain your contribution. A short, specific bullet is easier to review than a paragraph that mixes several unrelated duties.
Check the working arrangement
Confirm the location, schedule, employment type, and any eligibility requirements on the employer’s site. A remote label does not establish worldwide eligibility or flexible hours. If compensation, benefits, equipment, travel, or contract duration are missing from this listing, write down your questions for the recruiter. Do not assume details from another opening at the same company apply to this role.
Review before submitting
Follow the employer’s requested file format and application instructions. Open your exported resume and check that its text is selectable, its sections read in order, and its links work. Proofread names, dates, and contact information. Share confidential work samples only when you have permission, and use an anonymized example when necessary.
Submit through a trusted employer or recruiting destination. If the original listing has disappeared, search the employer’s careers page for the title rather than assuming the vacancy remains open. Save the application date, job reference, and the version of your resume you sent. Those details help you prepare for a later conversation and avoid submitting conflicting information through several job boards.
Review your resume for writing and readability feedback, or browse other openings if this opportunity is unavailable.
