The Association of Professional Football Analysis is seeking a Football Infrastructure Analyst to assist in building AI-driven infrastructure for football analytics. The role involves working on projects for professional football clubs, developing data infrastructure, and enhancing the Shortlistr platform.

Responsibilities

A flexible analytics hub where dashboards and tools get built as use cases come up — pre-game prep, post-game benchmarking, player scouting, KPI tracking, squad wage and expense tracking. New requests will land regularly. Some of this exists on the Shortlistr platform already - and a lot of infrastructure can be transferred over
• Shortlistr. The platform is live and runs on Next.js, Vercel and Supabase. Work here covers extending and developing the platform and building the automated-agentic side: agents running automated social and ad campaigns, and automation of day to day admin with humans in the loop where needed

Skills

• Active experience building with LLMs and AI coding tools — Claude Code, the Anthropic ecosystem or similar. You should already be using these
• Examples of things you've built. GitHub, deployed projects, demos
• Football data analytics experience, or demonstrable interest. Anything built with football data will stand out
