Software Engineer Intern
Primary Purpose
The Cleveland Guardians are seeking an intern to join their Baseball Systems Engineering team this coming summer. The team of engineers builds software and data products that directly impact the organization’s ability to acquire, develop, and deploy players. The products you help build will facilitate operations and enhance decision-making across all areas of the organization, helping to answer questions such as “which trades should we execute,” “who should we select with our next pick in the draft,” and “how can we show players their data from yesterday’s game?” The position offers the unique opportunity to work with a variety of emerging technologies that span the entire applications stack. From data warehousing to web design, you will have the opportunity to work alongside veteran software engineers as they craft innovative solutions to challenging problems in the pursuit of the organization’s ultimate mission – winning the World Series.
Timing
We recognize that applicants will have differing dates of availability between their academic periods over the summer, and we therefore want to remain flexible with timing so that we can best accommodate each applicant’s specific start date and end date. That said, our expectation is that the internship will last ~10-14 weeks.
