About the Role
This is a founding engineering role at an early-stage wearable tech startup backed by Y Combinator, building a consumer device that reads and interprets real-time emotional states. You will own the companion iOS app end-to-end, translating sophisticated AI inference outputs into intuitive, polished experiences for users. As one of the first engineers on the team, you will shape the primary consumer touchpoint for the product and grow into a leadership role as the company scales.
What You'll Do
- Own the companion iOS app from architecture through deployment and ongoing iteration.
- Surface emotional-state outputs from the core AI inference model through clean, intuitive app interfaces.
- Build and ship a polished, consumer-grade mobile experience that meets high product standards.
- Make autonomous technical decisions as a founding engineer on a lean, distributed team.
