Careers · Interpreters & translators

Interpreting work, on your schedule.

Take audio and video calls from a quiet room, on hours you set. Selected contractors join a live operations desk — not a shift schedule.

This is independent-contractor work. Rates are confirmed in interview. Call volume and assignments vary with client demand and are never guaranteed.

Ongoing applicant pool. This posting is an ongoing applicant pool for future and current interpreter demand. Submitting an application does not guarantee an interview, onboarding, a minimum volume of calls, or a work assignment. VoiceLine LS reviews applications against client demand and qualification requirements, and only selected candidates will be invited to the next stage.

How the process actually works.

Applying adds you to the pool for that language. We only invite people whose pairs match a current need, and commercial terms are confirmed before any calls.

  1. Apply

    Choose your language opportunity and submit your profile. This joins the applicant pool; it does not guarantee an interview or assignment.

  2. Interview

    If your languages match a current need, we invite you to book an interview at a time you choose. No phone tag.

  3. Onboard

    Selected candidates complete documents, assessments, and compliance review. Commercial terms are confirmed before any calls are accepted.

  4. Become available

    Approved contractors set their availability for audio and video calls. Call volume varies by client demand and is never guaranteed.

Requirements

Most people who work with us are already interpreting or translating professionally. Certification helps, but the baseline is simpler: strong languages, a professional manner, and a quiet place to work.

  • Professional interpreter certification preferred
  • Fluency in English plus at least one other language
  • Reliable internet and a quiet workspace
  • Professional demeanor and cultural sensitivity
  • Available for flexible scheduling

Two kinds of sessions

OPI

Over-the-phone interpretation

Audio-only calls routed to you while you're online. Demand runs highest overnight and during US business hours — which makes it easy to fit around other work.

VRI

Video remote interpretation

HD video sessions with a professional backdrop. ASL and DeafBlind interpreters welcome.

The parts that make contract work workable.

Hours you control

Set your availability and sessions route to you while you're online. Log off and they stop. There are no fixed shifts to cover.

Fully remote

Take calls from wherever you're set up. If the room is quiet and your connection is reliable, it works.

Working peers

Slack channels, training pods, and mentorship from interpreters who take the same kinds of calls you do.

Clear onboarding

Selected candidates receive the assessments, compliance steps, and service expectations required before becoming available for calls.

Work that matters

ER triages, asylum hearings, family meetings — sessions where having the right interpreter changes what happens next.

A person on the line

A live ops desk staffed across three regions, around the clock. If something breaks mid-session, you reach a human — not a form.

Ready when you are.

Apply to an open contract, or send a general profile and we'll be in touch within a week if your languages match a need.
