About the Role

Join an early-stage industrial AI team building wearable AI products for field technicians. You will own the product layer around the AI core, delivering a dependable experience across smart glasses, backend services, and companion applications.

What You'll Do

  • Build and ship the end-to-end product experience across wearable devices, backend services, and companion apps.

  • Establish deployment and release processes for safely updating software running on hardware in the field.

  • Shape product architecture and engineering practices, and troubleshoot issues across frontend, backend, and device layers.

What We're Looking For

  • 2 to 5 years of post-graduate software engineering experience, ideally including early-stage startup work.

  • Experience independently building and shipping a complete product, including backend, APIs, data layer, and a user-facing frontend or mobile client.

  • Strong full-stack skills with technologies such as TypeScript, Python, React, React Native, Node.js, and PostgreSQL.

  • Experience with modern cloud and deployment tools such as AWS, GCP, Supabase, Railway, and Docker.

  • Ability to make sound architectural decisions and build scalable systems from an early stage.

  • Experience with real-time video, streaming, low-latency systems, mobile applications, or AI features shipped into a product is valuable.

  • Strong CS or engineering fundamentals, or an equivalent track record of building and shipping software.
