My team is responsible for one of the most complex and data-rich systems in sports technology we work with some of the best sports data in the world and were in the middle of a meaningful evolution: modernizing our stack migrating core systems and expanding what we can do with that data at scale. Were building the infrastructure that powers how football teams collect move and use their data and we need someone to help us do it right.

The Role

  • Own and evolve a robust data pipeline that moves data from a collection system through a central data warehouse and out to multiple downstream databases and front-end systems

  • Drive the migration of core features from Postgres to MongoDB and from Elixir to Python with a focus on zero-downtime transitions and thorough test coverage

  • Propose and gain alignment on schema designs built to scale not just to ship

  • Participate in architecture and system design conversations contributing sound technical reasoning and pushing back on approaches that wont hold up long-term

  • Refactor and improve legacy systems that often lack documentation relying on independent problem-solving to understand how things work and how they should work

  • Contribute to a high standard of code quality through reviews and pull request feedback

What Im Looking For

What You Must Bring

  • 2 years of professional software engineering experience including independently building ETL pipelines

  • Strong computer science fundamentals; a 2 or 4 year degree in CS or equivalent professional depth

  • Experience with database migrations and schema architecture (we use PostgreSQL)

  • Python proficiency with proven experience of design patterns best practices and how to build maintainable systems

  • A consistent practice of writing tests as a standard part of development not an afterthought

  • The ability to operate independently in ambiguous environments including working with legacy systems

  • An object-oriented or functional programming background

Even Better If

  • You have experience with Elixir giving you a head start on our active stack transition

  • You have MongoDB experience

  • Youve worked at a startup or smaller company where ownership and initiative were expected

  • Youre comfortable with Docker and CI/CD tooling as part of your standard workflow

  • You have a background in sports technology sports analytics or another data-intensive environment where accuracy matters

Why This Role

This is an opportunity to work with some of the best sports data in the world and have direct ownership over the systems that deliver it.
