Analytics positions for the Miami Marlins (baseball)

Cross-posted from the Stan forums jobs board.

Work with Alex Andorra

Alexandre Andorra, of Learning Bayesian Statisticspodcast and PyMC/ArviZ fame, is now working for the Miami Marlins. If you don’t know Alex’s podcast, I’d encourage you to check it out—he has interviewed a number of the Stan devs, including two live interviews during the last StanCon.

All new Marlins

As those of you who follow baseball know, the Marlins were an expansion team in the early 90s who had some early success, but have been underperforming recently. Look for that to turn around because Peter Bendix, the former general manager of the Tampa Bay Rays, the most analytics-oriented team in the sport, has moved to become president of baseball operations and general manager in Miami.

The analytics job openings

The Marlins are recruiting for two positions:

• Baseball Analyst
• Senior Data Scientist

Both jobs have the following line item in the Skill Requirements section:

Experience with probabilistic programming languages preferred (Stan, PyMC)
