Software Engineer, Apps
Ollama is the most popular way for developers to access open models. What started as an open-source, local-first runtime is now the largest developer network in the open-model ecosystem: 8.9 million monthly active developers and over 67,000+ community-built integrations. We're backed by Y Combinator, Benchmark, 8VC, and Theory Ventures.
Our team is small and talent dense. We're flat, low-ego, and fast-moving. We like people who are truth-seeking, passionate, design-driven, and who enjoy shipping code.
About the role
In this role, you’ll work on Ollama’s core user experience: the CLI, Ollama’s app and first-class integrations for Ollama. This involves a strong mix of engineering and design: you'll build new interfaces, ship features end-to-end, and shape how millions of developers experience Ollama.
What you'll do
Build and polish the Ollama desktop app, API, and CLI - the daily driver for millions of developers.
Design and implement new product surfaces for Ollama.
Implement and improve integrations with coding tools, IDEs and more.
You may be a fit if
You've built a great product that real people use.
You combine strong engineering with an eye for design and product taste.
You can build powerful tools without compromising ease of use.
You're comfortable across the stack - TypeScript/React on the front end, Go or similar on the back, and native apps where it matters.
You make good calls in gray areas, weighing data, UX, and taste.
Bonus: experience with developer tools, AI products, or shipping native/desktop apps.
