Head of Taste

👋 Hi, I’m Nik. I’m looking for a world-class visioner to build Omi with me.

• Omi 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 and can help achieve it

• 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

As the Head of Taste, you’ll:

• Plan omi's roadmap 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?”

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.

• 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.
