About arenaflex – Pioneering the Future of Entertainment

With a library that spans petabytes of high‑definition content, arenaflex relies on cutting‑edge cloud infrastructure, sophisticated recommendation algorithms, and a relentless commitment to delivering a seamless viewing experience. At the heart of this ecosystem is Open Connect, arenaflex’s global content delivery network that ensures every title streams smoothly, no matter the device or bandwidth. As we continue to expand our catalog and reach new markets, the accuracy and richness of our metadata become critical to helping viewers find the right story at the right moment.

Why This Role Matters

The Remote Content Tagger & Data Entry Specialist is a cornerstone of arenaflex’s content operations. By creating precise, comprehensive, and searchable metadata, you directly influence the quality of recommendations, the discoverability of titles, and the overall satisfaction of our global audience. Your work fuels the recommendation engine, powers advanced search filters, and supports accessibility features such as subtitles, audio descriptions, and genre‑based navigation. In short, you help turn raw video assets into a curated, user‑friendly library that delights millions every day.

Role Overview

This is a fully remote, full‑time position that offers a competitive annual salary of $72,000, flexible working hours, and the opportunity to collaborate with a diverse, international team of engineers, product managers, and content curators. You will be part of arenaflex’s Open Connect division, working closely with the engineering group that builds the micro‑services and streaming infrastructure that power our platform. While your primary focus will be metadata creation and data entry, you will also gain exposure to the technical challenges of large‑scale content delivery, giving you a unique bridge between content operations and engineering.

Key Responsibilities

• Analyze and ingest new titles—movies, series, documentaries, and short‑form content—into arenaflex’s metadata system.
• Apply industry‑standard taxonomies (genre, sub‑genre, mood, language, region, age rating, etc.) to each title with meticulous attention to detail.
• Enter and validate technical data such as runtime, resolution, audio formats, subtitle tracks, and closed‑captioning information.
• Collaborate with the Open Connect engineering team to ensure metadata aligns with streaming micro‑services, load‑balancing algorithms, and content delivery pipelines.
• Perform quality‑assurance checks on existing metadata, identifying gaps, inconsistencies, or errors and initiating corrective actions.
• Utilize internal tagging tools, spreadsheets, and custom data‑entry platforms to maintain a high‑throughput workflow while preserving data integrity.
• Participate in regular cross‑functional meetings to share insights on emerging content trends, regional preferences, and viewer feedback.
• Contribute to the continuous improvement of tagging guidelines, documentation, and best‑practice workflows.
• Assist in the development of automated validation scripts (in collaboration with software engineers) to streamline large‑scale metadata ingestion.
• Maintain strict confidentiality and compliance with data‑privacy regulations, especially when handling region‑specific licensing information.

Essential Qualifications

• Minimum 3 years of professional experience in data entry, content management, or metadata creation for media, entertainment, or related industries.
• Demonstrated ability to work with large datasets and maintain a high degree of accuracy under tight deadlines.
• Familiarity with industry‑standard metadata schemas (e.g., MPEG‑7, EIDR, TV‑Anytime) and an understanding of how they impact recommendation engines.
• Strong written communication skills in English; additional language proficiency is a plus, especially for regional content.
• Proficiency with cloud‑based collaboration tools (Google Workspace, Microsoft 365) and experience using custom data‑entry interfaces.
• Comfortable working independently in a remote environment, with a self‑motivated approach to task management.
• Excellent problem‑solving mindset and the ability to ask clarifying questions when faced with ambiguous content descriptions.

Preferred Qualifications & Nice‑to‑Have Skills

• Experience with micro‑service architectures or exposure to engineering teams that build streaming platforms.
• Basic programming knowledge (Python, JavaScript, or similar) to assist in creating simple validation scripts or data‑transformation utilities.
• Prior work with Open Connect or other content delivery networks, understanding the relationship between metadata and streaming performance.
• Background in film studies, media production, or a related field that provides a nuanced appreciation of genre and storytelling.
• Familiarity with accessibility standards (e.g., WCAG) and the ability to tag content for audio descriptions and subtitles accurately.
• Experience working in a fast‑growing tech company or startup environment, where agility and rapid iteration are the norm.

Core Skills & Competencies

• Attention to Detail: Ability to spot inconsistencies, typographical errors, and missing data points across thousands of titles.
• Analytical Thinking: Interpreting content descriptions, trailers, and promotional material to assign appropriate tags.
• Collaboration: Working effectively with engineers, product managers, and regional content teams across multiple time zones.
• Time Management: Prioritizing high‑impact titles while maintaining a steady throughput of metadata entries.
• Adaptability: Embracing new tagging guidelines, tool upgrades, and evolving industry standards without disruption.
