Job Summary

We are seeking individuals who are excited about the opportunity to work with baseball data sets that span a variety of domains, from player development to scouting to ball tracking and player tracking (including StatCast and Hawk-Eye).

In this role, you will utilize your problem-solving and coding skills to execute and enhance the processes that extract, transform, clean, and load data to and from external sources. You’ll also collaborate with analysts and developers in working to integrate data, playing a role in how it is used to impact players and decisions.

Responsibilities

The main responsibility for this role is in assisting Baseball Informatics staff in the daily operation, reporting, maintenance, and performance of the data assets used within Baseball Operations.

Specifically, the person in this position will be responsible for executing daily reporting and ETL (extraction, transformation, and loading) across departments within Baseball Operations. The person will also ensure that the automated and manual processes used to ETL data to and from external sources are operational and timely. This will involve debugging, improving, designing, and implementing these processes primarily built in Python as they interact with APIs and SQL Server, AWS, Snowflake, DataRobot, and SQL Server Reporting Services.

Through this fellowship, you will get both a high-level understanding of the structure and applicability of baseball data as well as specific knowledge of those data sets. You’ll also work alongside analysts and developers to help create insights from the data.
