About the role

Player 15 Group is seeking a Basketball Data Scientist to turn complex basketball questions into rigorous analysis, models, and decision-ready recommendations. You will work with Basketball Analytics, Engineering, and Basketball Operations on high-impact research and data products that influence front office, coaching, scouting, and player development. The role emphasizes building predictive models, developing tools, and communicating results to diverse stakeholders.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
