Like many jobs in the gig economy

Ross

I believe the answer is:

freelance

(Other definitions for freelance that I've seen before include "Self-employed person offering services where needed" , "Independent" , "Self-employed worker for hire" , "He works alone" , "not regularly employed" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
