Head of Taste

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

- Omi https://omi.me 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 https://omi.me/manifesto and can help achieve it

ABOUT ME

- 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

WHAT YOU’LL DO

As the Head of Taste, you’ll:

- Plan omi's roadmap https://omi.me/manifesto 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?”

WHAT I’M LOOKING FOR

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.

WHY THIS MIGHT BE THE ONE

- 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.
