Halo is building the future of wearable intelligence—technology that feels like a superpower. We’ve already gone viral (80M+ views), been featured on NBC and Forbes, and yes, there are flamethrowers in the office.
We’re a fast-moving team of engineers, inventors, and builders, and we’re looking for a Founding Engineer to manifest dreams and lead product.
You’ll work side-by-side with the founders to take Halo from working prototype to iconic product. This isn’t just a “build the backend” role—it’s a chance to architect the future of human <> AI interfaces.
WHAT YOU'LL DO:
- Own core systems across embedded, cloud, and mobile—from architecture to implementation.
- Prototype fast and ship things that shouldn’t be possible (but are).
- Bridge hardware + software into magical, seamless user experiences.
- Collaborate with world-class engineers, designers, and marketers to make intelligence feel human, wearable, and unforgettable.
- Set the tone for engineering culture, process, and quality as we scale.
YOU MIGHT BE A FIT IF YOU:
- Have been programming for 5+ years
- Have a track record that proves you've built consumer-facing software or architected something mission-critical, with thousands of users.
- Have shipped zero-to-one products, and got significant traction.
- Love solving unsolved problems—from optimizing battery life to building a local LLM pipeline.
- Care deeply about the user, not just the system.
BONUS POINTS:
- Experience in consumer hardware, wearables, AI, or frontier tech.
- Worked with Swift, AWS, built non-trivial AI Agents, and/or embedded programming.
- Enjoy hacking with sensors, cameras, or custom boards in your free time.
Halo is not a typical startup. We value action over perfection, originality over safety, and people who create momentum out of thin air. If that sounds like you—we’d love to meet.

What We Do
Halo is a consumer startup creating next-generation AI wearables to help people live their fullest lives. We design ambient AI assistants, worn on smart glasses, that see, hear, and understand real-world context -- and help users solve problems, master skills, and acquire knowledge in real-time.
Why Work With Us
We are deeply ambitious. We are building to replace screens and bring AI to the real-world -- so people can focus on what truly matters. We value action over perfection, originality over safety, and the ability to create momentum out of thin air. And we care deeply about the people on our team that will make this happen.
