Founding Engineer

About the role

Hi, I’m Nik. I’m looking for a world-class founding engineer to build Omi with me.

• Omi is AI for your real life.
• Think: wearable memory, voice-first interface, the reverse iPhone.
• In the past 10 months, we’ve:
• Grown to 300K software users
• Hit 100M+ organic video views
• Built 3 working hardware devices

Now I’m ready to go deeper - and I need you.

What You’ll Do

As the first engineer, you’ll

• Own the full stack (Flutter/React Native, Python, firmware, BLE, backend, etc - depending on what you’re best at)
• Architect the next version of Omi SDK / platform / hardware control
• Build prototypes that feel like magic and scale into products
• Help shape product direction, technical stack, and even culture
• Work directly with me every day - we’ll build and launch together

This is not a “here’s what to do” job - this is “what should we do next?”

Someone who’s built and shipped something impressive. For example

• Built a product used by 1M+ people or 10K+ devices shipped
• Or built something with >$1M revenue
• Or raised >$1M as a founder / solo builder
• Or deeply technical + insanely fast - even if early in your journey

You don’t need to check every box - but one really strong signal is enough.

Tech Stack (So Far)

• Flutter (might move to React soon)
• Python / Flask
• Firmware: C
• BLE
• Omi DevKit (custom hardware)

Why This Might Be the One

• You’ll get lots of equity and full ownership over technical direction
• Work on actual AI hardware, not just apps
• Build something that people already love - and want more of
• Help people think and live better with ambient, embodied AI

• Let’s make humans 1000x smarter with AI by 2026.
• Let’s make robots help in every apartment by 2028.
• Let's create the metaverse
• II personally check every candidate!
• If I didn’t respond, something was off.
