Wow, not many of these I can check every single box on

Too bad the cost of living in L.A. is so high that there’s almost no chance they’d offer enough to make moving worth it 🙂

Developer positions pay better than analyst ones. MLB teams aren’t exactly leaders in compensation, but you might be surprised by what the offer is if you go through the process.

Living in LA and travelling to Anaheim would be a massive mistake.
