What is a Data Engineer at Kraft Analytics Group?
At Kraft Analytics Group (KAG), data is the core product. As a Data Engineer, you will be responsible for building, optimizing, and maintaining the data pipelines that power the sports and entertainment industry. Kraft Analytics Group works with some of the biggest names in professional sports, live entertainment, and venue management, meaning your work will directly impact how organizations understand their fans, optimize ticketing strategies, and drive operational efficiency.
You will design and implement robust data architectures that ingest, transform, and store massive volumes of transactional, behavioral, and spatial data. This is not a typical back-office engineering role; you will work closely with data scientists, business consultants, and client-facing teams to transform raw data into actionable strategic insights. Whether it is optimizing real-time venue operations or structuring multi-source fan profiles, your engineering decisions will have a visible impact on the fan experience.
This role requires a unique blend of technical mastery, analytical curiosity, and business acumen. You will face complex data integration challenges, requiring you to build scalable solutions that can handle both highly structured ticketing databases and unstructured streaming data. For an engineer who thrives on solving real-world problems at the intersection of technology, sports, and entertainment, this position offers an incredibly dynamic and rewarding environment.
