About the Team
The Innovation team is a sharp, agile group of engineers and designers defined by a single purpose: to build something better. We don’t just upgrade technology; we question it. We exist to prototype the future of living, translating conceptual ideas into the practical, multi-device systems that will define the Essential Operating System. We are tackling the industry's most critical problems—creating adaptive, expressive interfaces that feel less like tools and more like human connection. We move fast because we are small and independent, using foundation models not for the buzz, but to create useful outcomes that could only come from Nothing.
What You'll Do
- Architect and build transformative user experiences within the Essential Operating System, leveraging foundation models to create features that are genuinely useful rather than just hype.
- Take experimental concepts from "zero to one," rapidly prototyping new interaction models across mobile, ambient computing, and multi-device systems.
- Dig deep into the OS kernel and Android framework to build adaptive systems and recommendation engines that feel seamless and native to the device.
- Drive features from a hacked-together prototype to stable, production-grade code, ensuring we maintain a high velocity of shipping without compromising quality.
- Optimise for performance and efficiency, ensuring that our "always-on" behavioural understanding features respect battery life and system resources.
- Collaborate intimately with researchers and designers to ensure every interaction is designed to inspire and spark emotion, rather than just function.
- Champion the integration of emerging technologies by focusing strictly on the outcome for the user, ensuring we remain a challenger brand that punches above its weight.
What We're Looking For
- Technical Excellence. You have a clear track record of delivering code that is stable, scalable, and beautifully engineered, with at least two years of hands-on industry experience.
- Deep Pragmatism. You know when to hack a prototype together in an afternoon and when to slow down and build robust architecture for the long term.
- Ownership and Drive. You don't wait for permission. You have a history of launching products quickly and scaling them successfully in fast-paced environments.
- System-Level Curiosity. You possess a challenger-minded passion for hacking mobile interfaces and the OS kernel, always looking for a better way to build.
- AI Fundamentals. You understand the mechanics of LLMs and foundation models, with a desire to integrate them into consumer-facing products in a way that feels natural, not forced.
- Direct Communication. You speak plainly and with intention, avoiding jargon to collaborate effectively across global marketing, design, and engineering teams.
- Foundational Knowledge. A Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related technical field (or equivalent rigorous experience) that grounds your engineering decisions.
How We Work
We build better tech by moving fast. That speed demands direct collaboration and shared creative energy. We believe the best work happens when we're together.
- Location: London (Kings Cross & Farringdon offices).
- Working Pattern: This is a full-time, in-office role (5 days a week). We move fast, and that means being physically present. We design flexibility around personal needs, but we focus on the magic that sparks when we’re all in the same room.
- Commute: We ask that you live within a 60-minute commute of your home office location.
