Job description

👋 Hi, I’m Nik — founder of Omi Omi is AI for your real life. Think: wearable memory, voice-first interface, the reverse iPhone. We’ve built a community of 9k people in Discord, shipped devices, and hit 100M+ organic views. Now it’s time to scale our community — fast.

Your job is simple — make Omi the most visible hardware brand in the world. You’ll:

  • Build and lead an Ambassador Program (10 core ambassadors, 100+ creators)
  • Generate 100+ events per year (mostly hackathons)
  • Drive 100+ YouTube videos annually featuring Omi products and apps
  • Make Omi show up everywhere — online and IRL

Who You Are

You’ve already done this before. Specifically:

  • Built or managed a team of 10+ people
  • Organized large-scale events (ideally tech, hardware, or creator focused)
  • Can send me proof — links to events, campaigns, or communities you’ve built
  • You move fast, think bigger than anyone else in the room, and know how to rally people

If you haven’t led before or can’t show proof of execution — this role is not for you.

Why Join Omi

  • Real product. Real users. 100M+ organic views and counting
  • Hardware + AI — not vaporware, but something people wear every day
  • You’ll define what “community” means for a brand that’s already viral
  • Direct access to me — zero bureaucracy, full ownership

We’re building something that people already love — and you’ll make the world love it louder. If you’ve ever thought, “I could build a global movement,” this is your shot.

Why work at Omi

  • Culture: “We build, ship, break things (then fix them), and push boundaries” – a fast-moving, founder-led startup in San Francisco. Team is small (~14 people) and highly selective.
  • Hiring Philosophy: The fastest way to join is to contribute to the GitHub repo (submit meaningful pull requests). Every current engineer joined this way.
  • Perks & Compensation: Roles listed with $200k–$300k salary + 1%–20% equity; in-person in San Francisco; roles include Co-Founder, Founding Engineer, Head of Taste, and Community Lead.
  • Mission-Driven: Work on technology that “changes how humans interact with AI forever” – focusing on memory enhancement and brain-computer interfaces.
  • Remote / Hybrid: Most full-time roles are in-person in San Francisco; an Ambassador role is remote/part-time.
  • Engineering Focus: Emphasis on open-source, hackathons, and bounties; the team uses Flutter, Next.js, Swift, Rust, Python, and firmware (nRF, Zephyr, C).
