About the role
👋 Hi, I’m Nik. I’m looking for a world-class visioner to build Omi with me.
- Omi https://omi.me is AI for your real life.
- In the past 20 months, we’ve: - Grown to 300K software users - Hit 100M+ organic video views - Built 3 working hardware devices
As the programming became obsolete, what now matters is taste, execution and vision. I'm looking for someone who agrees with our vision https://omi.me/manifesto and can help achieve it
ABOUT ME
- 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

WHAT YOU’LL DO
As the Head of Taste, you’ll:
- Plan omi's roadmap https://omi.me/manifesto to help humans be 1000x more productive
- Architect all Omi products and design
- Build prototypes that feel like magic and scale into products
- Help shape product direction and 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
You don’t need to check every box — but one really strong signal is enough.
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 2028.
