Jobs

Junior AI Product & Automation Engineer — Freelance

EV Analytics is looking for a technically capable, AI-native builder to help us automate internal workflows, build new tools, and prototype AI-powered products across our sports analytics platform.

This is a freelance role for someone who is comfortable being given a business problem rather than a perfectly defined technical specification. We’re looking for someone who can investigate, make reasonable assumptions, use modern AI development tools aggressively, and turn ideas into working solutions quickly.

You may work on projects such as:

• automating monitoring for stale or missing odds, projections, stats, and other data
• building AI-assisted player usage and projection workflows
• identifying actionable information from sports news and social sources
• creating tools that analyze line movement and betting-market behavior
• automating customer-support and internal workflows
• building internal tools that make EV Analytics data easier to query and use
• prototyping new AI-powered sports analytics products
• improving data ingestion, QA, and reporting systems

What we’re looking for

You should be comfortable with:

• Python
• SQL
• APIs
• working with structured data
• Git / version control
• using AI coding and development tools as a core part of your workflow

Experience with sports betting, sports analytics, machine learning, web development, or data engineering is helpful, but not required.

We care more about what you can build, how quickly you can solve problems, and how effectively you use AI than about degrees, titles, or years of experience.

How you work

This role is a strong fit if you:

• like figuring things out without constant direction
• communicate clearly and reliably
• enjoy building practical tools rather than overengineering
• are comfortable learning unfamiliar systems quickly
• can explain your assumptions and tradeoffs
• naturally look for things that can be automated or improved

Engagement

This is initially a freelance role.

We expect to begin with a limited engagement and expand the scope and responsibility for strong performers.

We are looking for someone who can provide meaningful overlap with Eastern Time business hours.

Compensation

Hourly freelance compensation will depend on experience, availability, and fit.

Please include your expected hourly rate in your application.
