Qualifications

  • 2+ years of professional interpreting experience (immigration, asylum, NGO, legal, or government strongly preferred).
  • Strong knowledge of interpreter ethics, confidentiality, and impartiality.
  • Cultural familiarity with Mandinka-speaking communities in West Africa.
  • Must be a U.S. Citizen or permanent resident eligible for Tier 3/Tier 5 federal clearance.
Compensation & Benefits

  • Competitive pay: $3038/hour (rare-language premium).
  • Remote work using secure USCIS-approved platforms.
  • Paid onboarding and professional development.
  • Consistent workload under a federal contract.
  • Opportunities for advancement in quality assurance or linguist leadership.
