## 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.

## What they're looking for

- 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
