What is remote sports engineering?

Remote sports engineering involves designing, developing, and supporting technical systems that allow sports events to be broadcast, analyzed, or managed from off-site locations. This field combines sports knowledge with engineering skills to enable real-time data collection, video streaming, and communication technologies. Professionals in remote sports engineering help ensure seamless live coverage and analysis, especially for events that require remote operations due to logistical or safety reasons. The work may involve setting up remote camera systems, data analytics platforms, and cloud-based broadcast solutions.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a remote sports engineer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Remote Sports Engineer, you need a solid background in engineering, sports technology, and data analysis, often supported by a relevant degree in engineering or sports science. Familiarity with broadcast systems, sensor technologies, and specialized sports performance software is typically required. Strong problem-solving abilities, teamwork, and clear communication help engineers collaborate with coaches, athletes, and technical teams. These skills ensure the reliable delivery and optimization of sports technology solutions, directly impacting performance analysis and broadcast quality in remote environments.

What are some common challenges faced by professionals in remote sports engineering, and how can they be addressed?

Professionals in remote sports engineering often encounter challenges such as coordinating with on-site teams across different time zones, ensuring reliable data transmission from sporting venues, and troubleshooting technical issues without being physically present. To address these obstacles, clear communication protocols, robust remote monitoring tools, and regular virtual check-ins with the on-site crew are essential. Additionally, building strong relationships with local staff and maintaining detailed documentation of system setups can significantly improve efficiency and problem-solving.

What is the difference between Remote Sports Engineering vs Remote Mechanical Engineering?

AspectRemote Sports EngineeringRemote Mechanical Engineering
Required CredentialsBachelor's or higher in sports engineering, mechanical engineering, or related fields; certifications in sports technologyBachelor's or higher in mechanical engineering; professional engineer (PE) license often preferred
Work EnvironmentPrimarily project-based, focused on sports equipment, wearable tech, and athlete performance systems; often collaborativeDesign, analysis, and testing of mechanical systems; can include product development and simulation work
Employer & Industry UsageSports teams, athletic equipment companies, sports tech startupsManufacturing firms, engineering consultancies, industrial companies

Remote Sports Engineering and Remote Mechanical Engineering share a foundation in engineering principles and often require similar educational backgrounds. However, Sports Engineering focuses specifically on sports-related technology and equipment, while Mechanical Engineering covers a broader range of industries. Both roles can be performed remotely, but their applications and industry focus differ significantly.

Job description

Job Summary
Sports Reference, LLC is searching for a Scrum Master to assist our Agile teams by facilitating and coordinating Agile processes within the engineering department and cross-functional teams. The engineering team currently has 22 team members consisting of developers, testers, DevOps, and Scrum Masters.
We currently serve 20 million (and growing) monthly users on our free, ad-supported Reference Sites (Baseball-Reference.com, Basketball-Reference.com, FBref.com, etc.) and Stathead.com, our SaaS offering that provides powerful search and filtering capabilities for deeper exploration of our vast databases. In 2023, we acquired ImmaculateGrid.com, the viral baseball trivia game, and have since launched ad-supported grid games for basketball, football, hockey, and soccer.
To Apply
Please visit our jobs website at https://sports-reference-llc.breezy.hr/ and submit your resume and a cover letter for this position.
We plan to begin the phone interview process the week of August 31st, but may start earlier depending on the volume of applications we receive. Applications arriving after phone interviews begin will be collected, but will receive consideration at the discretion of the hiring manager based on the progress we have made in filling the position. We have provided a general outline of our interview process here: https://www.sports-reference.com/job-interview-process.html
Our Purpose and Values
We democratize data, so our users enjoy, understand, and share the sports they love.
We value:
  • Respect for our users, the athletes we cover, and our team;
  • Craftsmanship in building tools and products;
  • Reliable tools and services that meet our users' needs every day; and
  • Data democratization. We publish many data sets for emerging and underserved sports. The New York Times covered our recognition of the Negro Leagues as major leagues in the summer of 2021. We added women's college basketball data to our site in 2023 and now have the only publicly available database of every score in women's NCAA Division 1 history.

More on our values and history can be found on our about page. To meet these expectations, we encourage team members to participate in company discussions and share new ideas, features or potential solutions to problems.
Background
As a Scrum Master, you will facilitate and coordinate Agile processes within cross-functional teams, ensuring the team can work collaboratively and efficiently to deliver high-quality solutions.
You will work closely with the team to ensure that the work progresses on schedule and to the desired level of quality. Additionally, you will help to foster a culture of continuous improvement and ensuring that the team is meeting its objectives consistently.
This is an entry level position, and Sports Reference will work with you to train your skills on the specifics of the role. This is a position within our engineering department, but no development skills are required.
We are searching for the role of a scrum master, but do not expect Scrum certification for this role. We provide continuing education benefits and would support you earning your Scrum certification.
Goals and Tasks for Your First Year (In rough order of importance)
Must-Reach Goals and Tasks
  • Organize project work in dashboards and project management tooling, and keep the status up to date
  • Help coordinate small to medium sized projects within the company
  • Report status of projects regularly verbally in small meetings, as well as written asynchronous communication when needed
  • Help create small tasks in project management software and assign as appropriate
  • Facilitate meetings (standups, iteration boundary, retros) ranging from 3-45+ people
  • Keep metrics about the status of work that is currently being worked on
  • Continually improve our process by analysis and holding retrospective meetings
Nice-to-Reach Goals and Tasks
  • Manage issues, small features and defects for teams
  • Facilitate demos of completed issues and requests
  • Help understand resourcing constraints for upcoming projects and suggest potential candidates based on skills within the engineering team
Qualifications and Skills
A qualified candidate will satisfy the following:
  • Evidence that you are capable of meeting many of the goals listed above.
  • Have a history of getting things done (and done well).
  • If you don't think your application will have evidence that you can meet all of the 'nice-to-reach goals and tasks' above but still are interested in the job and otherwise qualify, please apply. Nobody checks every box-we're looking for candidates that are particularly strong in a few areas, and have some interest and capabilities in others.
Salary
Our salary range starts at $84k for U.S. based employees. We are a remote-first company and determine our pay range for this position based on the market rates for Philadelphia, our home base. The salary offered will be based on your experience and skill level.
Annual bonuses are variable and are tied to a percentage of the company's end of year profits and the employee's time worked and salary earned during the year. In the last three years, they have averaged 15% of an employee's annual salary.
Benefits
Even though we are a small company, Sports Reference has a generous benefits package.
  • The total value of our benefits package is up to $30,000.
  • We cover full health and dental insurance costs for full-time employees and their dependent children. We cover 70%-80% of plans for an entire family.
  • We have a 401k with a match on your contributions up to 4% of your base salary. The 401k has many low cost investing options.
  • We pay all premiums for company-sponsored life and long-term disability insurance for all employees.
  • We provide up to $7,000/year in continuing education benefits.
  • Even if you live in or near Philly, you have the option to work remotely as much as you choose. We generally work a standard workday, but with flexibility to adjust hours within that framework.
  • Any parent welcoming a new child to their family is entitled to 13 weeks of fully paid leave, and up to an additional 39 weeks at half-time.
  • Employees begin with 18 days of PTO per year and an additional 8 paid company holidays and accrue sick leave at the rate of one day per month.
  • We will generally buy you whatever equipment will make you the most productive.
  • We typically will pay for reasonable moving-related expenses related to your acceptance of a position with Sports Reference. Please ask if you have questions regarding this benefit.
  • We provide a $68/month remote work stipend to cover the cost of internet access and incidental expenses.
Other Information
  • Sports Reference's first site was launched in 2000. We have bootstrapped ourselves to 45 full-time employees and have no venture capital backing.
  • Applicants must have a legal right to work in the United States or Canada. Hiring an employee not based in the US or Canada would be difficult to coordinate at this time.
  • We are willing to provide accommodations for candidates for whom the timing or structure of our interview process may be challenging. This may include early morning or evening interview times or provide payment to cover child care expenses if needed. If you are applying for a role where verbal communication is not a significant requirement, we may consider an alternative form of interview as is reasonably possible and suitable. Similarly, if an extended period of internet connectivity is a challenge, we may consider an alternate form of interview. If we invite you to interview, please let us know of any possibly necessary accommodations.
  • Our typical interview process is described at https://www.sports-reference.com/job-interview-process.html
  • Sports Reference is a remote-first company. Sports Reference is located in Philadelphia and non-Philadelphia candidates will be considered on an equal footing to those who are local. Presently, all Sports Reference employees are working remotely at least some of the time, but those in the Philly area may work from the office on days of their choosing.
  • This is a full-time position.
  • Employment at Sports Reference LLC is at-will and this position is an at-will appointment.
  • 100% of our merchandise sales support youth sports.

Sports Reference is a growing company, and your work will be highly visible and have a definite and immediate impact (Read about us in the New York Times and The Athletic ($)). We reached over 20 million users each month and served over 2.0 billion pages in 2023.
