About the role
- This is a hands-on data engineering role focused on execution.
- Reporting to the Manager of BI Data Engineering, you'll join a small, high-performing team within LAI that values careful craftsmanship, rolls up its sleeves, and treats data as a product rather than a byproduct.
- You'll work upstream of our analytics engineers and analysts - designing the pipelines, models, and infrastructure they rely on every day.
Responsibilities
- Build production-grade pipelines using Airflow and dbt to orchestrate batch and streaming transformations across GCP, so that downstream analysts and engineers can trust the data they query without checking the wiring
- Implement observability and monitoring standards so that data quality issues surface before stakeholders notice them, not after
- Manage code through GitHub-based CI/CD, contributing to the deployment workflows that keep our platform reliable and our changes safe
- Ability to build creative solutions for unusual problems
Nice to have
- A degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field - or non-traditional background with equivalent practical experience
- Experience with Terraform or other Infrastructure-as-Code tools
- Experience with AI-assisted development or enterprise AI tooling (Gemini Enterprise, Vertex AI).
- We're early but ambitious - we see AI as a lever for engineering efficiency
- A passion for baseball, or prior experience in sports, media, or entertainment
Skills
- The standards are high, the autonomy is real, and the work is visible across the league.
Compensation
- $115,000 - $140,000 (Base Salary) + Bonus
- As a candidate for this position, your salary and related aspects of compensation will be contingent upon your work experience, education, skills, and any other factors MLB considers relevant to the hiring decision.
- In addition to your salary, MLB believes in providing a competitive compensation and benefits package for its employees.
Benefits
- Competitive Benefits Package
- Paid Time Off and Holidays
- Paid Parental Leave
