Tech Lead / Head of Engineering [Islamabad]

We’re building a new interface to intelligent systems — using light, motion, and presence. We're bringing intuition to interaction.

We’re quietly assembling a founding team to lay the foundations of something big — a spatially-aware device that blends perception, and control into one seamless experience.

What You’ll Own

As the Founding Tech Lead, you’ll:

• Architect and build the full system: vision → perception → control
• Lead development from the first prototypes
• Own decisions around platforms, CV pipelines, real-time control, and system scaling
• Lead the hardware and software pieces of the platform
• Debug complex problems across layers — from sensors to software
• Mentor and grow the early engineering team
• You’ll define the product from zero to one.
• This is NOT a role for passive contributors.
• This is for hands-on builders who want to be in the room where it happens — and actually ship it.

What We’re Looking For

You're a hands-on technical generalist with deep expertise in three or more of these areas:

• Computer Vision (MediaPipe, OpenCV, TensorRT, and similar)
• Linux Platform engineering (Linux, MQTT, and similar)
• Web App Experience (Electron, Flutter, node.js, and similar)
• Full-stack prototyping (Python, Node, C/C++)
• Embedded Systems (Jetson Nano, Raspberry Pi, STM32, and similar)
• Motion Control / Actuation (servo/stepper drivers, PID loops, and similar)
• Edge Systems that require low-latency inference or control

You have:

• An obsession to taking on difficult challenges and inventing your way to pragmatic solutions.
• Strong technical organization and communication skills.
• Proven ability to lead technical teams spanning across different technical domains.
• A sense of urgency in getting things done.
• 6+ years of experience shipping technically complex systems.
• Strong architecture instincts and comfort across software + hardware boundaries.
• A bias toward prototyping, testing in the real world, and iterating fast.

Bonus:

• Experience with spatial computing, AR/VR interfaces, or robotic interaction
• Comfort debugging messy sensor data or timing issues across subsystems
• Passion for ambient tech, design, or post-screen computing

The Way We Work

• Customer Obsession
• First Principles Thinking
• Be brave, Invent your way
• Stronger Together
• Iterate, fast
• Leverage Technology
• Commit and deliver
• Extreme ownership
• Relentless Focus
• Intentional Quality
• (Vigilantly) Simplify
• Build Trust and Empower
• Enjoy the Ride

To Apply

Just send a quick note to [team@betterdevices.io] with:

• A few things you’ve built (projects, links, GitHub, teardown, whatever)
• What excites you about this type of product
• Anything that shows how you think and build

We’ll move fast for the right person.

This is your chance to help build something weird, meaningful, and new.
