Our technology begins with video capture in the stadiums, detects player movements and actions, and delivers insights to coaches and players in the form of video clips with overlay illustrating high-level tactical concepts. Currently we are analyzing all the matches of La Liga but we need your help to scale to other markets and use cases!
This position is currently mixed remote/office at the discretion of each individual and each team. Most engineering roles come to the office less than once a month. Nevertheless, we prefer candidates in the Barcelona area or Spain more generally more administrative reasons but will consider international applications as well, within 1-2 time zones.
