How this role works

You join the bench. You apply with your weekly hours and start time. We set your hourly rate from your résumé, and we may name you on proposals that match this role. If we don't win, you owe nothing.
A contract is awarded. The award funds the team named in the proposal. Your engagement begins at the hourly rate we agreed on.
You work remote, paid from the contract. ~120–600 hrs per funded award — and if no award ever funds, you owe nothing and lose nothing.

Build and tune ingestion, chunking, embedding and retrieval pipelines for Spanish and mixed Spanish-English content
Design and build backend services and Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers that connect models to real data sources and tools safely
Test answers in Spanish for accuracy, citation, tone and regional variation, and tell us plainly where the system falls short
Review our translations, prompts and evaluation sets so a native reader would trust them

Professional working proficiency in Spanish, reading and writing, at a level where you could review technical and public-facing content
