- Contribute to our internal AI agent platform by building agents that automate repetitive, template-based, or judgment-light work across departments.
- Document existing workflows clearly and produce simple analyses to support build-vs-buy and prioritization decisions.
- Contribute small interface features to internal applications when an automation requires a user-facing component.
- Present findings, demos, and recommendations to non-technical stakeholders, translating technical work into a clear commercial narrative.
- Collaborate closely with the Platform Engineer and Product Engineer on shared infrastructure, interfaces, and integration points.
Qualifications
Required:
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Data Analytics, Business Analytics, or a related field.
- 1–3 years of experience in software engineering, business systems, process automation, or a similar hands-on technical role.
- Solid proficiency in Python, with a focus on writing maintainable, production-ready automations and integrations.
- Demonstrated experience working with REST APIs, webhooks, and integrating disparate business systems.
- Comfort writing SQL to extract and validate data from relational databases.
- Exceptional written and verbal communication; proven ability to explain technical work clearly to non-technical audiences.
- Ability to work full-time, on-site at our Sunrise, FL offices. This role is based 100% in-person to support close collaboration with the broader BI team and cross-functional stakeholders.
Preferred:
- Experience automating workflows across business systems used in CRM, marketing, finance, or operations.
- Familiarity with cloud-based infrastructure within the AWS ecosystem (S3, Lambda, etc.) and workflow orchestration tools (e.g., Prefect).
- Exposure to LLM applications, prompt engineering, or AI agent frameworks.
- Experience producing simple business analyses or process documentation alongside automation work.
- A passion for sports analytics or previous experience within the sports and entertainment industry.

Position Type/Expected Hours of Work:
This position is on-site in our Sunrise, FL offices (no remote work is available). This is an exempt salaried position. Must be able to work flexible hours including nights, weekend, and occassional holidays.
At the Florida Panthers Hockey Club, Arena Operating Company, Panthers IceDen, Sanza Food Service, War Memorial Benefit Corporation, and FLA Team Shop, we strive to make every employee feel valued and respected for who they are and the unique contributions they make.
