Role Both roles involve building on top of proprietary tracking and pose data to create metrics, models, and analyses that elite sports organizations actually use. Day-to-day the work looks like this across both:Build and transform new data sources into tables, features, and structures that are easy for the team and our clients to build onDevelop, extend, and validate models — including event-probability models and athleticism models — ensuring data representation supports both current and future use casesBuild metrics and analyses that NHL and NBA clients rely on to make decisions, and support client-facing work by digging into the data to answer their questions directlyExtract meaningful features from high-dimensional tracking and pose data, and update existing models to incorporate new signals as they become availableValidate models and outputs — your own and others' — with enough rigor that the team can trust what shipsWrite clear reports that communicate technical work to the product team and broader organizationThe Hockey role centers on expanding our platform to non-NHL contexts using Sportlogiq tracking data and incoming Hawk-Eye pose data — including stick location, body orientation, and skating models. The Basketball role centers on building metrics and player evaluations on top of our EPV (Expected Possession Value) framework, translating model outputs into tools NBA front offices can actually use.What You Must Bring3+ years of experience working with sports tracking data including the kinds of models typically built and the data challenges that come with themStrong data science fundamentals: you understand how models work, what they need from the data, and how to set data up to support themProficiency in Python or R, with solid statistical foundations and comfort with SQL for building and querying structured dataAttention to detail in how data is structured and represented, with an eye for edge cases, consistency, and how downstream users will interact with what you buildA team-first mentality — both teams are small, and being someone others can rely on matters as much as technical skillEven Better IfFor Hockey: direct experience with hockey data or hockey analytics (inside a team, public work, or academically), and familiarity with pose or skeleton data or other high-dimensional spatiotemporal data sourcesFor Basketball: experience working inside an NBA front office or comparable environment, familiarity with deep learning methods, and public-facing basketball analytics work that demonstrates how you think about the gameRequirements & Compensation Compensation Range: $145KEqual Opportunity Employer Statement Teamworks is an equal opportunity employer - if you live our core values every day and are honest, hardworking, humble, committed, innovative, and an all-around exceptional person, you'll thrive at Teamworks.
