Full Job Description

Description:

DSRT SURF isn't a traditional workplace, and we're not looking for traditional people.

We're building a fast growing hospitality and lifestyle brand where surf culture, guest experience, and high performance come together in a unique way. We're looking for people who thrive in energetic environments, take pride in their work, and want to help build something special from the ground up.

Whether you perform as a DJ, in a band, or as a solo or group live act, you'll set the tone for the guest experience across a range of settings, from laid back daytime sessions to high energy nightlife and private events.
