Think about the last time you tried to book a tennis court.
Think about the last time you tried to book a tennis court. Or sign your kid up for a swim lesson. Or find an open rec league that actually fits your schedule. You probably ended up on a website that looked like it was built in 2003 — or god forbid, filled out a piece of paper.
$3T is spent on recreation globally, and it's built on a completely fragmented system that's largely untouched by technology.
At Rec (recreation.ai http://recreation.ai), we're using AI to change that — reimagining how the world plays, participates in community, and gets active. Our vision is simple: more recreation for everyone. We sit at a rare intersection — a consumer product loved by everyday players and an enterprise platform trusted by the organizations that power recreation.
We're a small team with firepower. Our founders were among the first few hundred at Uber, then led teams at The Athletic and MasterClass. The rest of the team combines builders from Google, Microsoft, Strava, Hipcamp, and Airbnb.
People join Rec for two reasons: you want to build AI that gets people back in the real world, and you want to work with really smart people.
ABOUT THE ROLE
Seb, Rec's AI agent, only gets better if someone is relentlessly closing the loop between how it performs in the real world and how it improves. As our Product Operations Manager - AI, you're that person. You'll run the quality engine behind Seb — evals, annotation, defect triage — and you'll be the connective tissue that keeps AI initiatives moving across product, engineering, and the business.
You care as much about the annotation queue as you do about whether a launch actually shipped on time.
Some days you're deep in eval results deciding whether a regression is a defect or a preference issue. Other days you're making sure we're collecting feedback on a new capability across thousands of customers that use Seb across the country.
