Job Description & How to Apply Below

👋 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 $4 M ARR, $3 M raised, acquired by Toptal

  • 💻 Built the first Omi prototypes (hardware, mobile)

  • 💸 Raised $5 M+ total

  • 🧲 Managed teams across 3 continents

  • 📈 Drove 100M+ organic impressions for Omi

Check me out at

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 1 M+ people or 10 K+ devices shipped

  • Or built something with >$1 M revenue

  • Or raised >$1 M 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 Dev Kit (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. 🥲
