🌊 About Surf Eye, a Sports Eye brand
Sports Eye is building the world’s largest AI video network for action sports. Our cameras automatically film, track, edit and analyze every ride. We are already live in 9 countries, with over 40,000 users across the top wave pools in the world. We recently expanded into ski resorts with our second vertical: Snow Eye .
Our mission is to revolutionize how action sports are captured and experienced, making automated, professional-quality footage available to every rider, every session, anywhere in the world.
To make that happen, we’re building an ambitious team.

You’ll own projects end-to-end, help shape product strategy, and play a key role in scaling our platform as we expand to new locations, sports, and user groups.
