About SEA.AI

Using artificial intelligence and machine vision, we provide crews on boats and ships with the most accurate digital understanding of a vessel ‘s near-field surface surroundings. We make marine mobility safer and more convenient, providing a better mobility experience at sea.

We are a multi-national team based in Austria, France, Portugal and the US. We offer a fast and agile workplace for experts from a variety of disciplines. We share a common culture shaped by ambition, autonomy, openness, honesty, and respect. As a fast-growing team of ~60 colleagues, we are large enough to create impact. We are also small enough that each team member has an influence on the way we work. To grow our R&D-Team in Austria with a preferred location in Vienna (optional Linz), we look for a Head of Software Development (m/f/d).

You have experience with cloud platforms and web technologies and are comfortable contributing to or shaping emerging cloud initiatives.

You approach challenges with a solution-oriented mindset and focus on making progress.
You communicate clearly and directly, especially when technical trade-offs need to be explained.
You work independently, take ownership and move things forward.
You combine a strategic view with a strong bias for execution.

A collaborative and results-oriented international culture.
Flexible working hours and locations, including remote working options.
Company organized team building events including workshops, remote working in Europe, sailing trips and more.
