About the Opportunity:

Bond Communications was established in 2023 and in April 2025 launched BondVRS with a mission to reimagine the VRS space both for the Deaf user and the interpreter. As a private company that gets its funding from both hearing and Deaf individuals and leveraging no institutional money, we have the flexibility to take a step back and build our service together with the Deaf community. Every week, based on our learnings from our users and from our interpreters, we are iterating on our existing features and launching new ones. As a result, our users now have closed captions for all of their VRS calls, can share context with the interpreter ahead of the call, and with a click of a button — can invite our interpreters to any external video conferencing platform (Zoom, Google Meet, Team, WebEx, FaceTime, etc.).

Our greatest pride and differentiator is our talented team of passionate, highly skilled American Sign Language (ASL) interpreters, who help us bring our mission to life. Beyond delivering top-tier ASL interpretation, our interpreters play a key role in testing innovative approaches to better serve our users. Interpreters collaborate closely with our product, tech, and Human Resources teams, and actively contribute to enhancements that improve the overall experience for both interpreters and customers.

We are looking to add highly experienced interpreters to our team. Individuals who beyond delivering top-tier ASL interpretation are also eager to co-create something new and shape the future of accessible communication. Candidates must demonstrate strong proficiency in American Sign Language (ASL) and English, along with a commitment to delivering exceptional customer experience. To ensure the highest quality of service, all applicants will be required to pass a skills screening assessment.

If you are passionate about innovation, accessibility, and reshaping the future of VRS, come and join us!
