Doist
At Doist, our mission is
empower people with simple yet powerful tools .
We're a multidisciplinary, fully‑remote team that's passionate about creating products, like Todoist and Twist, that improve people's lives. We thrive on innovating new solutions to old productivity challenges and we seek to rethink how productivity tools are made.
Our Core Values
Ambition. You aspire to put a dent in the universe. You set high standards for yourself and those around you. You solve issues that have a high impact on our customers and our company.
Mastery. You care deeply about the quality of your work. You’re continuously learning and pushing yourself to the limits of your ability. As a champion of your craft, you are also a champion of your well‑being – you work intensely, then disconnect completely.
Independence. Others can trust that you’ll deliver on time. You keep your word and trust your teammates to do the same. You are proactive, take ownership, and remain accountable with little or no direction.
Communication. Your communication is clear, concise, and engaging. You keep others in the loop and never go radio silent. You speak respectfully and foster warm relationships through your interactions. You’re culturally and socially aware and can appropriately navigate social situations.
Your Role We’re looking for a native Danish speaker with proficiency in another language who has a demonstrated passion and experience for translation and review.
Day-to-day work In this freelance role, you’ll deliver high‑quality translations that delight our users with a localized app in different platforms, support materials, and marketing content. You’ll collaborate closely with the localisation project manager to shape Doist’s voice for the Danish market (and possibly another one), ensuring localisation quality assurance through consistency, accuracy, and cultural relevance. You’ll also be responsible for maintaining linguistic resources and addressing linguistic issues.
Our approach to AI translation We recognise AI is meaning a significant shift in the translation industry, it may feel challenging. But in our opinion, it’s time to stretch beyond our current skill sets to build our future. The SaaS industry is evolving rapidly with AI, and while it presents challenges, it also opens opportunities to develop new skills. We are here to support you in gaining expertise in AI‑native translation and Localisation Quality Assurance (LQA).
This is about more than just efficiency; it’s about sharpening our ability to ship, iterate, innovate, lead: leveraging. It’s an asset that will pay for itself almost immediately in freed‑up time, increased impact, and more fulfilling work. Our expectation: adopting AI is becoming an essential part of our work, and we’ll provide the tools and support to help you grow while contributing to this project.
Requirements About You Is this role a good fit for you? You might be a great match if you have:
Native‑level fluency in Danish and English
7+ years of translation experience, ideally within tech localisation, preferably the SaaS industry
Proficiency in an additional language, such as Norwegian (native or near‑native level)
A strong passion for localisation quality (LQA)
A proactive mindset, contributing ideas to improve the overall localisation process, and meticulous attention to detail
The ability to work independently and stay self‑motivated
Ease with AI‑assisted tools to improve translation quality and efficiency (e.g., terminology research, consistency checks)
Bonus: Familiarity with translation management systems, glossaries, and translation memories.
Our Process
Submit your complete application. Attach a resume (or manually entered experience) and thoughtful responses to all the application questions. No cover letter needed!
Application screening. We read every application to understand your motivation, skills, and experience. Once your application has been reviewed, you’ll receive a response regarding the status of your application.
Interview. You’ll meet with Dani, one of our amazing marketers leading International Development.
Paid Task Assignment. This will be your opportunity to showcase your role‑specific skills, how you think and work.
2nd interview (if applicable). Depending on the results of your first interview and task, we may invite you for a follow‑up conversation.
Offer to engage.
Benefits
Flexible schedule and location – fully remote position
Work with a diverse, international team spanning 35+ countries
Free Doist product subscriptions (Todoist Pro or Business)
Opportunity to shape the Danish voice of a leading productivity platform.
Contract Contracts are set for six months in accordance with Doist’s freelance hiring policy. In most cases, they are renewed upon mutual agreement.
