• Native English fluency and great writing skills.

Nice‑to‑haves:

• Familiarity with content briefs and writing outlines.
• Experience doing outreach or link‑building (email, forums or social).
• Interest in media, subtitling, or language tech.
• Familiarity with Notion, Google Sheets, or CMS platforms.

Company Culture

🤝 A company culture built on trust, autonomy, and independence

🍽️ We’re remote‑first, office‑encouraged – We work asynchronously and with high trust, but value in‑person collaboration for creativity and speed.

✨ Have an impact on millions of people – Change how users and language professionals make transcriptions, translations and subtitles.

👫 Work with a small team of bright people – When we talk with most people, they have a hard time understanding how we got so far with few people. Looking at this, we’re close in ARR to a typical Series B company, but our ARR per employee is 10x the industry average.

⏱️Flexible working hours – Work on the schedule that makes you the most happy and productive.

🏰 Beautiful office in Gràcia – One of the best areas in Barcelona. Our offices are much more than just a place to work. We like to see them alive 24/7, filled with friends and creative activities. Want to organise a community event, a breakfast with other designers, developers, etc.? The place is yours.

🌏 International, English‑speaking environment – We’re building an international team and want to create an inclusive environment where anyone can feel at home.
