About the Role

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. What You'll Be Building Across two tracks — editorial intelligence and revenue/ad operations — you'll design and deploy lightweight agents that: 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 Agents range in complexity from simple scheduled data pulls to multi-step pipelines with classifiers, scorers, and recommendation layers. You're a Good Fit If You: Have experience building data pipelines and API integrations (REST APIs, Google APIs, Slack API) Are comfortable using LLM APIs (Gemini, OpenAI, Anthropic) as part of multi-step workflows Can scope and ship quickly — these are lean builds, not enterprise architecture projects Have worked in media, publishing, or SEO/ad tech environments (a bonus, not a requirement) Communicate clearly about what's done, what's blocked, and what trade-offs exist Tech Stack / APIs You'll Work With Google Ad Manager · Google Search Console · GA4 · Ahrefs · Reddit API · YouTube Data API · SimilarWeb · Slack API · Google Sheets · Gemini · Claude How to Apply: If you are interested in this role, please send us one of the following: Links to relevant past work A portfolio Our hiring team will review your application and contact you if we believe that your experience could be a match for this role.
