Job description

The next great leap in AI will happen in the real world, on your face, in real time. MIRA is that leap, and it gives you a second brain: lightweight AI glasses that remember every conversation, answer any question in under a second, translate 60+ languages, surface the right context exactly when you need it, and use your memories as context for agents.

We recently sold out and shipped our first batch of units, and we're moving fast. MIRA has raised $6.4M from General Catalyst, Naval Ravikant, Pillar VC, and more.

We're a small team of engineers and builders in San Francisco solving some of the hardest problems in consumer AI and wearable hardware: real-time responses, all-day wearable design, ambient context understanding, and human-AI interaction that just works.
