About Wellness at Work AI

People are burning out in front of Laptop screens. Wellness at Work builds products that use computer vision and smart nudges to improve overall people’s wellness. The app runs locally (privacy-first), with selective cloud support on AWS. We are an early stage start-up, building products from the ground-up.

What You’ll Build / Experience

1. Computer Vision on the Edge

   – Facial models, body posture and other cutting edge vision technologies Optimize for low-latency, low-power.

2. Deep OS Integrations

   – Menu-bar/tray apps, background services/daemons, display + power APIs, notifications, accessibility hooks.

3. Edge Compute & Performance

   – Async video loops, multiprocessing, memory/CPU profiling, packaging for Mac and Windows, and auto-update flows.

4. LLMs & Agent Workflows

   – Integrate local/remote LLMs, build automations that help users.

You won’t be siloed. You’ll hop across these areas with mentorship from senior engineers.

Your Day-to-Day

• Ship features in our Python/PyQt codebase (and help us prototype in other technologies when needed).
• Write clean, modular code with tests; open PRs, respond to reviews fast.
• Profile and optimize video pipelines, threading, and UI performance.
• Package and sign desktop builds; debug weird MacOS and Windows OS quirks.
• Prototype agent flows using LLM APIs and evaluate UX impact.
• Own small specs end-to-end: design → build → measure → iterate.

Minimum Fundamentals (Must-Haves)

• Strong CS basics

  – data structures, OS processes, networking, concurrency.

• You code regularly

  in Python, C++ and CSS (Previous job, internship, personal projects, campus clubs, internships, open source). You have a portfolio of apps to show.

• Comfort with Git

  and a fast iteration mindset. Have experience implementing CI/CD pipelines.

• Curiosity + Grit

  – you enjoy working in fast-paced environments and learning fast. 

• Communication

  – You read docs, and communicate effectively in writing.

• Time & Commitment

  – full-time (no passive side-gigging). You want to live in the code on a daily-basis and are disciplined about work.

• Cloud Exposure

  - Familiarity with cloud services like AWS (EC2, S3 and other services). Build scalable cloud based applications.

Nice-to-Haves (Signal Boosters)

• Have a portfolio of 2-3 apps

  published on the MacOS/ Win11 app stores

  . Built/ packaged a cross-platform desktop app (PyInstaller, Xcode, etc.).
• Experience integrating a Micro-Service based architecture in application. 
• Face models, OpenCV, ONNXRuntime, or any CV pipeline experience.
• Experience building beautiful UI. Designed UI yourself in Figma or directly in code.
• Implemented background services on macOS or Windows.
• Hooked up LLMs (OpenAI/ Anthropic/ local) to automate real tasks.
