Über diese Founding Engineer Stelle bei Omi
👋 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.
About Me
25 y.o.
🇷🇺 Born on an island in the Pacific (Russia), now in SF
🧠 Thiel Fellow
💰 Sold 2 startups — scaled the last to $4M ARR, $3M raised, acquired by Toptal
💻 Built the first Omi prototypes (hardware, mobile)
💸 Raised $5M+ total
🧲 Managed teams across 3 continents
📈 Drove 100M+ organic impressions for Omi

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?”
What I’m Looking For
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. 🥲
