About The Position

We're looking for a freelance AI agent developer or data scientist to help us build a suite of intelligent automation tools across editorial and revenue operations. You'll be working in a fast-paced digital media environment, turning data pipelines into actionable, Slack-integrated agents that help a small team move faster and smarter. This is a hands-on, build-first contract. Most projects are scoped at 5–15 hours each, with a backlog of roughly 18+ agents ready to go.

Requirements

• Experience building data pipelines and API integrations (REST APIs, Google APIs, Slack API).
• Comfortable using LLM APIs (Gemini, OpenAI, Anthropic) as part of multi-step workflows.
• Ability to scope and ship quickly.
• Clear communication about project status, blockers, and trade-offs.

Nice To Haves

• Experience in media, publishing, or SEO/ad tech environments.

Responsibilities

• Design and deploy lightweight agents across editorial intelligence and revenue/ad operations.
• Pull and analyze data from sources like Google Ad Manager, Google Search Console, GA4, and third-party APIs (Ahrefs, Reddit, YouTube, SimilarWeb, etc.).
• Surface anomalies, trends, and performance signals automatically.
• Deliver alerts, reports, and recommendations directly into Slack or Google Sheets.
• Use LLMs (Gemini or equivalent) to generate content briefs, scoring outputs, and editorial angles.
