How we hire
We keep hiring short and human: a first conversation, a work session on a real problem, and time with the people you'd build alongside. We hire for taste and conviction over pedigree — if the work pulls at you, apply even if you don't tick every box.
About Somnia
Somnia builds intimacy robotics — presence you can hold, engineered end to end: the body, the intelligence, and the story we tell about her. Most of what we need doesn't exist yet, so we're inventing it. We hire for taste and conviction over pedigree, and we give people unusual ownership. (And yes — she/her. We mean it.)
