Founding Software Engineer

Mira

The next great leap in AI will happen in the real world, on your face, in real time. MIRA is that leap, and it gives you a second brain: lightweight AI glasses that remember every conversation, answer any question in under a second, translate 60+ languages, surface the right context exactly when you need it, and use your memories as context for agents.

We recently sold out and shipped our first batch of units, and we're moving fast. MIRA has raised $6.4M from General Catalyst, Naval Ravikant, Pillar VC, and more.

We're a small team of engineers and builders in San Francisco solving some of the hardest problems in consumer AI and wearable hardware: real-time responses, all-day wearable design, ambient context understanding, and human-AI interaction that just works.

Responsibilities

MIRA is looking for a talented Software Engineer to help build the next evolution of human-AI interaction. This role is full-time, in-person, in San Francisco. The ideal candidate will be responsible for developing high-quality applications, designing and implementing testable and scalable code, exhibiting exceptional product sense, and more.

Qualifications
  • 3+ years of experience.
  • Experience with firmware.
  • Familiarity with mobile development.
  • Familiarity with concepts such as fine-tuning, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), and multi-modal LLMs is essential.
  • Exceptional product sense.
  • Prior experience as a Founding Engineer at an early-stage startup is a big plus.
  • Prior experience with hardware products is a big plus.

You'd actually get to help shape the direction and future of the product, and work with a team that's locked into building something truly revolutionary.
