Product Engineer

AirCaps is bringing AI assistance to in-person conversations.

Our AI-copilot provides live captions, translations, AI meeting notes and insights for in-person conversations in real-time. It's deployed as an app for lightweight AR glasses so you can see visual information overlaid onto your field of vision.

You can think of it like a Zoom AI meeting assistant or Granola, but for in-person conversations, and with the ability to proactively help you in real-time, not just after the conversation.

We’re building the capture and intelligence layer for the 216 billion daily conversations that happen face-to-face.

We’ve already transcribed 40,000 hours of in-person conversations and counting. Today, AirCaps assists with 11% of our users’ in-person conversations.

We previously went viral (75M+ views on TikTok, 150K+ followers) and have been featured by The New Yorker, WIRED, and Forbes.

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.

• 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

• 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)

• 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.
