What are the responsibilities and job description for the Co-Founder, Software & AI position at Somar360?
Build technology that expands human awareness.
Somar360 is building an accessibility-first spatial awareness platform that combines wearable technology, artificial intelligence, environmental sensing, and intuitive haptic feedback to help people better understand the physical world around them.
The idea came from my own life.
I grew up hearing impaired, and for years I relied on constant hypervigilance simply to navigate everyday environments. I found myself continuously scanning my surroundings because I couldn't always hear what others naturally could.
One day I asked myself:
What if technology could bridge that gap?
That question became Somar360.
Accessibility is where we begin, but not where we end.
The long-term vision is a new category of spatial intelligence that can eventually impact accessibility, consumer technology, robotics, public safety, industrial environments, and future human-computer interaction.
I'm looking for a Software & AI Co-Founder who wants to build something from the ground up.
This is not a traditional engineering job.
You won't simply write code.
You'll help invent a completely new product category while shaping the technical direction of an early-stage company.
As Somar360 grows, this role is expected to evolve into Chief Technology Officer (CTO).

This is a founding equity position.

Compensation is founder equity, with the goal of transitioning into a salaried executive leadership role as funding and company growth allow.
Please apply only if you understand and are comfortable with an equity-first founding opportunity.
You'll help create technology that has the potential to improve millions of lives.
You'll help define the culture, architecture, and future of an entirely new company.
You'll build alongside a founder who is deeply connected to the problem being solved through lived experience.
