Hi, I’m Nik. I’m looking for a world-class founding firmware 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.
26 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 $7M+ total
Managed teams across 3 continents
Drove 100M+ organic impressions for Omi
Check me out at nikshevchenko.com
As the first firmware engineer , you’ll:
Own firmware for omi devices
Hack other devices to integrate them with omi ecosystem (i.e. apple watch, meta glasses, etc...)
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:
Wrote firmware for 1k+ devices
Or Built a product used by 1M+ people
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.
Flutter (might move to React soon)
Python / Flask
Firmware: C, Nordic chips
BLE
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
