Head of Taste at Omi

👋 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

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 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.
