About the role

We’re hiring the first product engineer for our AI smart glasses: AirCaps.

You’ll own core apps and functionality end-to-end: building, testing, and shipping AI experiences for a consumer wearable.

Your ideas and code will directly impact thousands of users across 40+ countries already using our product.

What You’ll Do:

  • Brainstorm, validate, and define new features using real customer data and interviews alongside the founders
  • Define requirements and architect AI-powered wearable applications
  • Build across Android XR (Kotlin/Java), iOS (Swift), and Android (Kotlin)
  • Design and optimize agentic pipelines using streaming multimodal models (audio, vision, text)
  • Push performance across latency, reliability, accuracy, power consumption—and even thermals when it matters
  • Ship fast: test, QA, release → fix bugs as soon as things break → iterate on high-signal user feedback at lightning speed

You Might Be a Fit If You:

  • Thrive in 0→1 environments, from ideation through production and iteration
  • Obsess over craft. The details matter to you across the whole stack, from data models to pixel-level UI details
  • Ship work you're actually proud of and have a track record of doing so.
  • Want to build products that impact thousands of real consumers.
  • Are Claude Code native (or AI of your choice)
  • Have grit: you're willing to chase hard optimization problems where every 100ms matters
  • Are fascinated by how humans will interface with technology (bonus if you’ve imagined building a real-life JARVIS)

Why Join AirCaps:

  • Be early at a company defining the next computing platform
  • See your work in the hands of users across the U.S., Europe, Korea, India, Japan, and 30+ other countries
  • Work directly with the founders and shape product direction

Today’s interfaces were built for the pre-AI era. That’s about to change—for the 4.7 billion people using smartphones today.

The race is on to define the next interface. At AirCaps, we're betting everything on voice-first software and hardware.

If we're right, we'll own the gateway to the next computing platform.
