The Panthers are led by President of Hockey Operations & General Manager Bill Zito entering his seventh season, and President of Business Operations Michael White who begins his first full season. As the NHL’s southernmost team, the Panthers operate four facilities in Broward County, Florida: Amerant Bank Arena in Sunrise; the Panthers IceDen in Coral Springs; the state-of-the-art Baptist Health IcePlex in Fort Lauderdale; and the renovated War Memorial Auditorium, which hosts concerts and events for the South Florida faithful year-round.

The Panthers remain committed to empowering our fans to live sustainably and to strengthen the resiliency of our diverse communities throughout Florida and the tri-county area.

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. Team & Environment You will join a lean, fast-moving Data Science team where creativity and speed are essential. We operate in a championship-winning environment that is structured yet agile; you will often be given open-ended business problems that require you to be both the architect and the builder of the solution. We are looking for a teammate who is eager to apply technical craft to the exciting world of professional sports.
