Founding Software Engineer

MIRA is building the most proactive AI to replace the phone: lightweight AI glasses that remember every conversation, answer any question in under a second, translate 60+ languages, and surface the right context exactly when you need it.

We recently sold out and shipped our first batch of units, and we're moving fast. MIRA has raised over $6M from General Catalyst, Naval Ravikant, Pillar VC, and more.

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

Responsibilities

MIRA is looking for a talented Founding Software Engineer to help build the next evolution of human-computer interaction. This role is full-time, in-person, in San Francisco.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of software engineering experience.
• Strong computer science and systems fundamentals across areas such as TypeScript, Python, C/C++, mobile, backend infrastructure, APIs, databases, and distributed systems.
• Experience building complex technical products end-to-end, ideally across software, AI, and hardware boundaries.
• Strong product intuition and ability to make pragmatic engineering tradeoffs in fast-moving environments.
• Comfortable owning ambiguous problems, moving across the stack, and shipping production systems under tight iteration cycles.

These might make you a great fit:

• Experience with real-time audio, low-latency systems, LLM or AI infrastructure, mobile apps, device connectivity, or embedded systems is a major plus.
• Prior experience at an early-stage startup, ideally as a Founding or early engineer, is a strong plus.
• Prior experience building consumer products is a strong plus.
