Certified Sign Language Interpreter

About Tive

We're a Deaf-led company, and we provide Video Relay Service and Video Remote Interpreting. We pride ourselves on hiring certified interpreters because every caller deserves qualified, high-quality communication access. Every call you take is someone's job interview, doctor's appointment, or call home. Interpreting isn't a side feature here — it's the work, and we're hiring interpreters who care about getting it right: accurate, impartial, and steady under pressure.

The role

You'll interpret between Deaf and hearing people on VRS and VRI calls, remotely or from our Austin office. The environment is structured, and the technology is in place, so the job is interpreting. It asks for strong ASL and English fluency, professionalism, reliability, and computer skills.

What you'd do

• Interpret accurately and impartially in VRS and VRI settings
• Work in real time between Deaf and hearing callers
• Keep confidentiality and follow the RID Code of Professional Conduct
• Show up for your scheduled shifts, including evenings, weekends, and overnights
• Work from a professional, distraction-free space
• Meet the HIPAA, OSHA, and FCC requirements that apply to this work

What we're looking for

• NIC, BEI, or an equivalent interpreter certification
• Strong ASL and English interpreting fluency
• Professionalism, reliability, and clear communication
• Able to work remotely or on-site in Austin, TX
• Comfortable with interpreting platforms and everyday workplace tools

Nice to have

• Experience interpreting VRS or VRI
• Experience in high-volume interpreting environments
• Familiarity with FCC interpreting regulations and standards

Pay and contract

• Competitive pay, based on experience
• 1099 contractor — remote or on-site in Austin, TX
• Flexible scheduling where the work allows it
• A team that knows why this work matters
