• Contribute to “gold standard” solutions reflecting best practices across Indian journalism, broadcasting, digital media, and content production environments

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.

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.
