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.
• We don't actively check inbound applicants so find a way to find me
• If I didn’t respond, something was off. 🥲
