At SEA.AI we are committed to improving safety at sea for leisure and commercial mariners through the creation of automated onboard systems that use sophisticated marine vision and advanced artificial intelligence to detect and track objects in the water that might not be spotted using the naked eye, AIS, or radar.


We are a multinational team of more than 50 colleagues who are experts in a range of disciplines working out of facilities in Linz and Vienna, Austria; Port La Forêt in Brittany, France; Lisbon, Portugal and Miami, FL, USA.

Our work environment is fast paced and agile and our company culture and ethos is centred on five key elements: ambition, autonomy, openness, honesty, and respect.


We pride ourselves on being small enough that every person’s contribution is recognised as valuable, but also large enough to make a significant impact on the marine safety market.
