Job Description

We're rebuilding computing from the ground up: the hardware, the software, and the interactions between them. This is a playground where nothing is siloed, and everyone gets to dive into a bit of everything. Every role here helps shape something no one has built before.


What we are looking for

  • We are looking for the best talent, regardless of if you have a college degree or not (students welcome)
  • Being based in or willing to relocate to San Francisco
  • Strong C/C++ skills and experience writing firmware for microcontrollers or embedded Linux
  • Experience with real-time audio pipelines: I2S/TDM, audio codec configuration, DMA-driven buffering, and low-latency processing
  • Familiarity with RTOS concepts (FreeRTOS, Zephyr) or bare-metal development, and communication protocols (SPI, I2C, UART, USB, BLE)
  • Bonus: DSP experience (filters, resampling, echo cancellation)
