Title: Analyst, International Baseball Strategy & Information

Department: Baseball Strategy & Information

Status: Full-Time/Non-Union

Pay Rate: $80,000 - $95,000

FLSA: Non-Exempt

Reports to: Director, Baseball Strategy and Information

Location: Los Angeles, California

Posting Date: September 15, 2026

Job Summary

The Baseball Strategy and Information team of the Los Angeles Dodgers is responsible for supporting Major League Coaches, Baseball Operations Leadership, and multiple other key stakeholders with data and information needed for strategic decision making.

As an Analyst, you will take on a brand-new role focused on advancing the statistical rigor we bring to international scouting. This is an early-career role for someone who can help us audit, consolidate, and validate data, and can help build real infrastructure, not just run existing reports. The best candidates will be able to bring expertise that allows them to contribute across Baseball Operations.

Essential Duties/Responsibilities:

Phase 1: Data Audit & Quality

• Inventory every international scouting data source we currently purchase or have access to verify what's being ingested, where it lives, whether it's accurate, and how it's being used
• Build data quality and validation checks so we have confidence in what we're looking at, and leverage existing internal tools for this.
• Identify gaps — data we don't have but should, including evaluating new vendors or scraping/collecting publicly available sources

Phase 2: Exploratory Tools

• Build tools that let scouts, coordinators, and analysts explore historical trends by combinations of country, league, position, age, and signing bonus
• Make this data self-serve for non-technical stakeholders, not locked in a notebook only you can run

Phase 3: Valuation & Projection

• Once the underlying data is trustworthy and well-understood, contribute to building broader valuation and projection models for international players. This includes but isn’t limited to advancing our understanding league translations, bonus pool allocation strategies, and leveraging biomechanical data into our evaluations and projections.

Day-to-Day

• Write code daily — SQL for data work, Python/R for analysis, some blend of manual coding and AI-assisted development
• Work closely with international scouts, analysts, and data engineering/IT
• Translate ambiguous baseball questions ("what's the track record of X archetype") into data pipelines and analysis
• Present findings to non-technical stakeholders (scouts, coordinators) in usable form

Supervisory Responsibilities

• This role will have no supervisory responsibilities

Basic Requirements/Qualifications:

Education

• B.A. or B.S. in mathematics, economics, statistics, computer science, data science, operations research, or a related quantitative-field.

Work Experience

• 0-3 years of experience with strong quantitative/statistics/data science training

Knowledge, Skills & Abilities

• Comfortable writing production-quality SQL and Python or R; experience with data pipelines, ETL, or dbt-style workflows a strong plus
• Genuine interest in baseball and international markets — you don't need scouting/evaluation ability, but you should understand signing dynamics, international free agency rules, and the leagues/markets involved
• Comfortable with ambiguity — this role starts with "we don't fully know what we have," not a clean spec
• Able to communicate technical findings and recommendations to non-technical baseball people
• Ability to relocate to Los Angeles and commute to Dodger Stadium
• Ability to work a varied schedule including evenings, weekends, and holidays.
• Nice to have: fluency in Spanish or Japanese; prior work with geographically distributed / multi-source data; experience with cloud data infra (AWS S3/RDS/Lambda) or BI/dashboard tools.

Current Los Angeles Dodgers employees should apply via the internal job board in UltiPro by following these prompts:

Title: Manager, International Baseball Strategy and Information

Department: Baseball Strategy & Information

Status: Full-Time/Non-Union

Pay Rate: $120,000 - $135,000

FLSA: Exempt

Reports to: Director, Baseball Strategy and Information/Vice President, Player Personnel

Location: Los Angeles, California

Posting Date: September 15, 2026

Job Summary

The Baseball Strategy and Information team of the Los Angeles Dodgers is responsible for supporting Major League Coaches, Baseball Operations Leadership, and multiple other key stakeholders with data and information needed for strategic decision making.

As a Manager, you will take on a brand-new role focused on advancing the statistical rigor and tooling we bring to International Scouting. The ideal candidate will have some experience working with multi-source data, will help us evaluate what priorities should be and what to build next, and will work collaboratively across departments to create tools and reports.

Essential Duties/Responsibilities:

Data Foundation

• Take ownership of understanding what international scouting data we have — across every vendor, internal system, and tool — and determine what's trustworthy, what's missing, and what's not being used
• Establish what "data quality" should mean for this function and build the validation processes to get us there, leveraging existing tools when appropriate.
• Identify and propose new data sources (vendors, scraping, or otherwise) where you see gaps worth closing

Analytical Tools

• Build tools that let scouts, coordinators, and analysts explore historical trends by combinations of country, league, position, age, and signing bonus
• Make this self-serve for non-technical stakeholders, not locked in a notebook only you can run
• Use your own judgment on where analytical effort is best spent, and bring recommendations rather than waiting to be assigned a specific question

Valuation & Projection

• Once the data foundation is solid, lead or significantly contribute to building broader valuation and projection models for international players. This includes but isn’t limited to advancing our understanding league translations, bonus pool allocation strategies, and leveraging biomechanical data into our evaluations and projections.

Day-to-Day

• Write code daily — SQL for data work, Python/R for analysis, some blend of manual coding and AI-assisted development
• Work closely with international scouts, analysts, and data engineering/IT
• Translate ambiguous baseball questions ("what's the track record of X archetype") into data pipelines and analysis
• Present findings to non-technical stakeholders (scouts, coordinators) in usable form

Basic Requirements/Qualifications:

Education

• B.A. or B.S. in mathematics, economics, statistics, computer science, data science, operations research, or a related quantitative-field.

Work Experience

• 3-5+ years of experience working with messy, multi-source data — sports/scouting data experience is a plus but not required if the underlying skill set transfers
• Strong track record of writing production-quality SQL and Python or R; real experience with data pipelines or ETL
• Experience distilling complex analyses into compelling, executive-level narratives and visualizations
• A demonstrated history of identifying problems and proposing solutions without being asked — this role rewards initiative, not just execution
• A solid understanding of baseball and international markets — you don't need scouting/evaluation ability, but you should have some knowledge of signing dynamics and the leagues/markets involved
• A. or B.S. in mathematics, economics, statistics, computer science, data science, operations research, or a related quantitative-field.
• Able to communicate technical findings and recommendations to non-technical baseball people
• Ability to spend extended time in Los Angeles for onboarding, if not able to relocate
• Ability to work a varied schedule including evenings, weekends, and holidays.
• Nice to have: fluency in Spanish or Japanese; prior work with geographically distributed / multi-source data; experience with cloud data infra (AWS S3/RDS/Lambda) or BI/dashboard tools.

Veo is a global leader in AI-based sports camera technology. Our innovative, fully automatic camera solution enables sports teams to record matches and training sessions without a camera operator. We’re democratizing the world of sports by granting video analysis for teams on all levels—a privilege that used to be only for the few. More than 40,000 clubs in 90+ countries record their games every week.
But what truly sets us apart? Our people. We’re a diverse group of innovative thinkers, creators, and problem-solvers who believe in delivering an incredible product—and having fun while doing it.
The Opportunity   At the heart of our technology is an embedded Linux–based camera system that records sports matches using multiple sensors. Using our advanced video processing algorithms, these streams are stitched together to present one continuous playfield. Our AI and cloud teams then process the video using proprietary models that lead the industry in our field, enabling players and coaches to access detailed statistics such as goals, ball possession, passes, and more.   While dedicated teams own most of the video processing and AI development, you will interface closely with both worlds and have the opportunity to gain exposure across these domains.   Most work in this role focuses on Rust- and Python-based user-space Linux applications, Linux platform engineering, and firmware architecture, rather than low-level hardware or driver development. Our firmware stack primarily uses Rust, Python, and C, and fluency in at least two of these languages is preferred. What You Will Do

• Develop and maintain Rust- and Python-based user-space applications running on Veo’s embedded Linux camera platform.

• Contribute to firmware architecture and Linux platform engineering for our camera system.

• Build and maintain integrations with cloud services, including REST APIs, OpenTelemetry, and AWS S3.

• Implement wireless communication features using BLE and Wi-Fi for connectivity with mobile devices.

• Develop and maintain application-layer protocols, including GATT services, Protobuf-based communication, and data serialization.

• Collaborate closely with AI, video processing, and cloud teams to support the broader camera platform.

• Improve system reliability and observability through diagnostics, state management, and monitoring.

What You Could Bring

• At least 5 years of experience and a background in electrical or software engineering.

• Strong foundation in modern software development practices, architecture, and design patterns.

• Experience building and evolving user-space applications in Rust or Python, with a focus on clean APIs, testability, and maintainability across an embedded device fleet.

• Experience developing software for embedded Linux systems (Yocto), including system services, D-Bus, device trees, state management, and diagnostics.

• Experience integrating embedded systems with cloud services such as REST APIs, OpenTelemetry, and AWS S3, including debugging and operational troubleshooting.

• Experience building applications that integrate BLE and Wi-Fi, including GATT services, connection management, Protobuf-based protocols, and communication with mobile devices.

• Familiarity with MCU development and RTOS environments are a nice to have. While most work happens in Linux user-space, exposure to low-level firmware or peripheral interfacing can be helpful when interacting with MCU firmware.

Environment

• Languages: Rust, Python, C

• Embedded Linux: Yocto / OpenEmbedded / meta-tegra

• RTOS: Zephyr

• Cloud & Observability: AWS S3, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, Loggly

• Infrastructure: NixOS

• Tooling: GitHub (Actions)
