logcat.ai is the AI engineering layer for the operating-system stack. We build agentic systems for Linux and Android devices: we ingest the diagnostic artifacts a device emits (bugreports, logcat, dmesg, modem traces, ramdumps, perfetto, pcap, CAN) and help device makers diagnose, remediate, test, and author features across their OS stack, grounded in their own BSP. Think Datadog and Cursor combined for the OS layer. A VC-backed startup with a small, senior team — you work directly with the founders.

We recently raised a $2.55M pre-seed. The product is scaling and the customer list is growing, but we're still small enough that everyone here shapes what comes next, including you.

We open roles slowly, which means the role you'd be great at often doesn't exist yet, though sometimes it exists a month later.

Our team will read every submission. If there's a fit now, you'll hear from us within two weeks. If there isn't, we'll tell you rather than leave you guessing. And if we think there will be one later, we'll ask to keep your details for 12 months and come back to you when the role opens.

Where we hire

We hire in Seattle, Bengaluru, India and Canada. For niche roles, we open the search up across the United States and Canada as well.

Most of our hiring today is engineering: deep OS and device work (kernel, Android, modem, Wi-Fi, CAN, tracing), the agentic reasoning layer, and forward-deployed engineering inside customer stacks. Everything else gets built as we scale; product and design, go-to-market, marketing, people, operations. Join those early and you shape the function rather than inherit it.

The kind of people we are generally hiring for

• Depth somewhere real. One thing you know really well, and can explain how you came to know it.
• Beyond the technical skill we are hiring for people with curiosity, kindness, and a real instinct to help.
• AI tools in your daily work. Claude Code or equivalent for engineers; for everyone else, some part of your job you've already rebuilt around these tools.
• Comfort with ambiguity. You'll define the approach as often as you execute one.

How to make this worth your time ( optional, but will help earn you some brownie points)

• Two sentences on what you'd want to work on here. Specific beats enthusiastic.
• Show us something; a commit, a campaign, a bug you chased, a process you rebuilt.
• Name your constraints up front: location, timing, visa, comp. None of these disqualify you. Finding out late costs us both.

What we offer

• A front seat as we scale. Customer calls, the roadmap, the pipeline, how the company is actually doing. What you build carries your name on it, and the scope grows faster than the org chart does.
• Top-of-market salary, and founding equity worth having. You're early enough that the ownership is real, not decorative.
• AI, all the way down. We use it for everything: writing code, reviewing it, research, ops, internal tooling. Any tool that unblocks you, we buy. If you already work this way, you'll feel at home in a day.
• Your calls to make, from week one. Architecture, tooling, how the work gets done. These aren't consultations here.
• Support while you make them. The founders are hands-on. You own the decision but you don't make it alone.
• Comprehensive medical insurance for you and your family.
• Start-up perks and flexible time off, the kind people actually take.
• A lean team, senior, and kind in a way that's rare at this pace. People share what they know and help before they're asked. It's the part of this job we're proudest of.
