WHY COLLABORATE WITH LILT?

• Get paid quickly and fairly. We respect your time and your expertise. Competitive rates, prompt payments, no chasing invoices.

• Work on projects that actually matter. Contribute to cutting-edge AI and language technology that is shaping how humans and machines communicate.

• Be part of something bigger. Join a global community of linguists, subject matter experts, and language professionals who are advancing human knowledge together.

• Grow without limits. As a Lilt contractor you get access to diverse, innovative projects that expand your portfolio and sharpen your skills across industries and domains.

• Have fun doing what you love. Bring your language skills to life on projects that are as interesting as they are impactful.

WHAT TO CONSIDER BEFORE APPLYING

• Not ideal as a full time job or primary income source. Work availability fluctuates with project demand, making this better suited as a supplemental income stream. As a 1099 contractor, you won't receive benefits such as health insurance, paid time off, or retirement contributions, and hours are not guaranteed.

• Requires reliable availability and commitment. Once you accept a task, we expect quality work and on-time delivery. Most tasks require a minimum of 2 hours per day or 10 hours per week. If your schedule is unpredictable, this may not be the right fit.

• Geographic restrictions may apply. We cannot engage contractors in regions subject to international embargo or sanctions. As a 1099 contractor, you are solely responsible for your own tax obligations. We recommend consulting a tax professional before engaging.

HOW TO JOIN OUR EXPERT COMMUNITY

Step 1: Submit your application, including an updated copy of your CV in English.

Step 2: If a test is required, you will be asked to take a test in specific domains you specialise in.

Step 3: Once you are selected to join our translation team and you have passed the test, we'll guide you through the remaining onboarding steps — completing an application form, getting you set up for payments, and welcoming you into our community.

AI is changing how the world communicates — and LILT is leading that transformation.
