A firm that is using AI to locate ancient shipwrecks is sending out a call to seafarers to salvage sunken treasure. The general impression of the state of the tech job world might be that people are being fired left and right, and the only open jobs are AI-related. But what if you could use your sailing and diving experience all the same? That's what AE Studio, a software consultancy and AI research firm, is looking for: a literal pirate to hunt for treasure in the ocean. The work location is "extremely remote."
The requirements are quite extensive, requesting a lifetime of nautical experience, diving certifications, and the ability to do so "in conditions insurance companies decline to cover," plus bureaucratic handling of permits, ports, and sea creatures. Bonus ballast includes having pre-1800 salvage experience, proficiency in Spanish, Portuguese, and Dutch, sailing certifications, owning your own dinghy, and "operational experience in Somalia, Hormuz, or Malacca" — clearly indicating this job is not for the weak of mast or faint of sail.
