We're seeking a Spanish-fluent Editorial QA Specialist and Copy Editor to ensure the accuracy, clarity, and grammatical integrity of materials translated through machine-translation workflows.

  • Collaborate with internal teams as needed to clarify intent or resolve translation nuances.
  • Uphold Kiddom's commitment to equity and accessible learning through clear, accurate language.

What we're looking for...
  • Native or near-native fluency in Spanish with strong command of grammar, syntax, and regional nuances.
  • Strong English reading comprehension and ability to interpret complex instructional content.
  • Prior experience with translation, linguistic QA, editing, or localization strongly preferred.
  • Ability to deliver accurate, polished revisions on tight deadlines.
  • Comfort working with machine translation tools and digital workflows.
  • Exceptional attention to detail and ability to self-manage workload.

Preferred Qualifications
  • Familiarity with educational terminology or K-12 learning content.
  • Experience working with structured content (e.g., curriculum, assessments, platform UI text).
  • Background in localization management or QA processes.

What we offer
  • Full time permanent employees are eligible for the following benefits from their first day of employment:
  • Competitive salary
  • Meaningful equity
  • Health insurance benefits: medical (various PPO/HMO/HSA plans), dental, vision, disability and life insurance
  • 401k plan
  • One Medical membership (in participating locations)
  • Flexible vacation time policy (subject to internal approval). Average use 4 weeks off per year.
  • 10 paid sick days per year (pro rated depending on start date)
  • Paid holidays
  • Paid bereavement leave
  • Paid family leave after birth/adoption. Minimum of 16 paid weeks for birthing parents, 10 weeks for caretaker parents. Meant to supplement benefits offered by State.
  • Commuter and FSA plans
