Lead Data / Rating Engineer

Alex Staff Agency

18d • $7,000 - $7,000 • Remote

About The Position

The product is solving two fundamental problems of the modern information age: the lack of clear monetization for creators and broken navigation within the endless information noise. Core methodologies are already developed, and we have successfully launched ratings for movies, TV shows, and books. Now, we are looking for a Rating Production Lead to transform our existing developments into a scalable production system. In this role, it is essential to know how to work with algorithms, data, and process automation—including leveraging AI agents under the direct guidance of our CEO and CTO.

Requirements

• Strong mathematical foundation in statistics, probability theory, graph theory, and ranking/scoring algorithms.
• Experience with databases, data architecture design, and proficiency in development tools like Python and SQL.
• Proven track record of independently translating product requirements into mathematical models and production-ready code.
• Clear understanding that AI is a practical tool for data processing and automation, not a magic wand.
• Readiness to learn and master tools for working with AI agents and LLM integrations under the mentorship of our CTO.

Nice To Haves

• Preferred background: MSU, MIPT, HSE, SPbSU, ITMO, Bauman MSTU, or an equivalent level of rigorous academic preparation. (The degree itself is not a dealbreaker; what truly matters to us is your systemic understanding of data architecture).

Responsibilities

• Develop, refine, and calibrate rating algorithms, methodologies, and donate-weight normalization.
• Build ratings across multiple dimensions: from global and regional scales to niche, highly professional segments.
• Organize and automate data collection from external sources.
• Design integrations to enrich our rating databases.
• Translate product tasks into development—from raw requirements to fully functioning algorithms, data pipelines, and automation.
• Implement and coordinate AI agents for data labeling, classification, and routine process automation.

Benefits

• Direct B2B contract up to $7,000 / month.
• Fully remote with a flexible schedule.
• A great opportunity to eventually step up into a Head of Department role and build your own team.
