Summary

Who we are

Sportraxs is a small company born out of the frustration to follow niche sports such as trail running and mountain biking in a compelling manner. With this in mind, we have gone about creating a new future for adding greater spectator value to sports.

Our mission

Sportraxs aims to be a next-generation sports live GPS tracking and analytics platform. Think Formula 1 type live tracking, data analysis, and media, but for all sports. The goal is to provide a service that goes over and above providing just GPS locations with dots on a screen. This is achieved by integrating live GPS tracking with analytics, media (photo and video), social media, and timing to create visual stories of athletes progress.

Our Culture

We are a very small, young, and energetic team that is focussed on redefining the technology of sporting. We move fast and adapt quickly to a rapidly changing environment, with a focus on independently driving your work.

Why Work for Us

As a young startup, with recent large investment, you will be actively involved in defining a company that is at the forefront of redefining the sporting space. The small team environment means we cover a wide range of technology areas. All the way from hardware to software (front and backend). This will allow you the freedom to work on many aspects of the stack.

Who we are looking for

We are looking for people as driven and passionate as us to change the status quo in sports. If you can dream it, built it!
