š Hi, Iām Nik. Iām looking for a world-class founding engineer to build Omi with me.
- Omi https://omi.me is AI for your real life.
- Think: wearable memory, voice-first interface, the reverse iPhone.
- In the past 10 months, weāve:
- Grown to 300K software users
- Hit 100M+ organic video views
- Built 3 working hardware devices
Now Iām ready to go deeper ā and I need you.

- 25 y.o.
- š·šŗ Born on an island in the Pacific (Russia), now in SF

WHAT YOUāLL DO
As the first engineer, youāll:
- Own the full stack (Flutter/React Native, Python, firmware, BLE, backend, etc ā depending on what youāre 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 ā weāll build and launch together
This is not a āhereās what to doā job ā this is āwhat should we do next?ā
WHAT IāM LOOKING FOR
Someone whoās 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 ā even if early in your journey
You donāt need to check every box ā 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
- Youāll get lots of equity and full ownership over technical direction
- Work on actual AI hardware, not just apps
- Build something that people already love ā and want more of
- Help people think and live better with ambient, embodied AI
Letās make humans 1000x smarter with AI by 2026.
Letās make robots help in every apartment by 2028.
Let's create the metaverse
II personally check every candidate!
