Key Responsibilities
Evaluate closed captions for accuracy, synchronicity, completeness, and placement. Test live, linear, and on-demand content as applicable.

Rate: $40-70/hr (1099 or Corp. To Corp.). This range represents a good-faith estimate and is not a guarantee; final compensation is determined by factors such as experience, qualifications, and government contract labor rate requirements and may fall outside the stated range.
