Why PlayerData?

PlayerData builds next-gen performance experiences that help athletes at every level train smarter and play safer. Our R&D team turns raw sensor data into insights used by pro clubs and grassroots teams alike.

If you thrive on first-principles thinking, you’ll enjoy solving problems without existing solutions.

What you’ll do in your first year

• Prototype: Design and break early models that push wearable-tech limits.
• Research: Deep dive into literature, run experiments, and propose novel algorithms as part of a larger team.
• Ship: Own a concept from whiteboard to live beta, presenting findings to engineering and product leadership.
• Collaborate: Pair daily with engineers from all engineering domains; demo iterations to coaches, athletes and stakeholders for rapid feedback.

Expected Knowledge

Required:

• Python and GitHub workflows.
• Solid grounding in linear algebra, statistics, and calculus.
• Knowledge of software design principles.
• Familiarity with code quality and testing best practices.
• Understanding of maintainable and testable code design.

Nice to haves:

• SQL plus familiarity with a major cloud platform (AWS, GCP or Azure).
• Bonus points: experience with wearable sensor data or a personal project that merges sport and data.

You’ll fit if you

• Enjoy reasoning from first principles and making decisions based on evidence.
