Data Engineer

The Cleveland Guardians are seeking a data engineer to join the organization’s Baseball Systems team. As a baseball team, we generate and store data from a plethora of data sources (e.g. FieldVision), and use this data to answer a variety of questions that include "what trades should we make," "who should we select with our next pick in the draft," and "how can we show players their data from yesterday's game?" To answer those questions, this position will closely collaborate not only with its Baseball Systems teammates, but also with the organization’s R&D department and all types of end-users – Front Office, Coaches, Scouts, and Players – to support their needs.

The ideal candidate will possess a solid foundation in data or computer science, along with the ability to effectively work in a collaborative, cross-functional environment. The position offers the opportunity to craft innovative solutions to challenging problems, grow from both an engineering and leadership standpoint, and work with teammates side by side in pursuit of the organization’s ultimate mission – winning the World Series. We are open to a remote role for the right candidate, but relocation to Cleveland, OH is preferred.

We know that people from historically marginalized groups and those who have not yet had direct experience in the sports industry are less likely to apply for a job unless they meet every requirement. That being said, we encourage anyone who meets some of the qualifications above to apply or reach out for more information.

In Baseball Operations and Data Engineering, our shared goal is to identify and develop diverse players and front office teammates who contribute to our mission. By working together effectively and collaboratively, we create a family atmosphere that supports learning as we strive for excellence in everything we do. We believe that we will achieve our goals by making evidence-based decisions and creating environments that support our people and empower them to learn.
