Senior Software Engineer at Pramana, Inc.

At Pramana, we are building cutting edge applications and platforms for professional sports. Trusted by teams and leagues at the pinnacle of sports, Pramana’s platform and applications sit at the crossroads of AI and actionable intelligence. From Draftpoint for language-based scouting analysis to NHL SHIFT for enhanced historical information, Pramana is the industry go-to when the best in sports need bottom-line answers.

Pramana's Draftpoint solution for scouting and talent identification relies on the principle that tacit knowledge and the vast written experience of your scouting department should be emphasized in decision making. Draftpoint does just that - harnessing the power of our platform to create current draft comps utilizing the descriptive lexicon of past scouting skill evaluations. By utilizing the Pramana platform to reveal historical comps of players with similar skill commentary, Draftpoint provides individual Major League teams a competitive advantage in drafting & acquiring players.

Pramana's SHIFT solution provides the NHL and its partners the ability to retrieve answers to complex statistical questions at scale and on-demand. NHL SHIFT is the tool they rely on to do so, providing an intelligent platform to query their robust historical database.
