ABOUT OBVIO AI Each year, more than 40,000 people in the U.S. leave home and never make it back due to traffic crashes. At Obvio, we believe these deaths are preventable. We deploy solar-powered, AI-assisted cameras to enforce traffic laws where pedestrians are most vulnerable—automating enforcement in ways that traditional systems cannot. Our approach has already led to a 50% reduction in reckless driving in early partner cities. Founded by the team behind Motive's AI dashcam and backed by Bain Capital Ventures and Khosla Ventures, we are building the intelligence layer for safer streets globally.

This opportunity is ideal for someone who enjoys hands-on technical work, is comfortable working independently in the field after training, and has an interest in AI, transportation technology, public safety, or real-world data collection. Contractors will receive all necessary field equipment, including tripods, cameras, speed sensors, laptops, safety vests, and related materials.
