Barkie.ai is building the first AI-native golf platform — not golf software with AI bolted on.
We've shipped ScoreShot (photo-to-GHIN digitization with zero data entry), Broadie (voice-first AI caddie with strokes gained, GPS, and a gambling engine spanning formats most golf apps have never considered), and proprietary course mapping built by a NASA DEVELOP geospatial engineer.
We're a Google Early Access Partner running unreleased Gemini models and a USGA/GHIN affiliate.
We need the person who bridges product, AI, and the boardroom — someone who can talk Gemini Live API internals in the morning and pitch high-net-worth investors in the afternoon.
What you'll own → AI product roadmap across ScoreShot, Broadie voice, and the gambling engine → Gemini Live API integration strategy as our Google EAP partnership deepens → Technical specs that go directly to engineering — no translator layer → Investor conversations, demos, and fundraising materials alongside the CEO → Long-term outcome trading and contextual AI caddie vision
Who we're looking for → Background at OpenAI, Google DeepMind/Gemini, Meta AI, Anthropic, or equivalent → Shipped consumer AI products — voice, multimodal, or mobile → Comfortable in a codebase: PRs, specs, architectural tradeoffs → Deep enough on LLM infrastructure to have real opinions on latency, cost, and context → Bonus: you play golf. We work better with people who live the problem.
What we offer → Meaningful founding-team equity → Access to unreleased Gemini models via Google EAP → Direct collaboration with a top-100 global AI expert and a scratch golfer CEO → Remote-first, active fundraising, real momentum
