Software Engineer, Apps & Agents
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, with 8.9 million monthly active developers and more than 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 think from first principles, have strong product instincts, and care deeply about making software feel simple and delightful.
About the role
You'll shape how people use Ollama across the desktop app, CLI, and tools they already use. A major part of the role is making open models work well with existing agent harnesses, coding tools, IDEs, and desktop applications.
This is a product engineering role with broad ownership. You'll design interfaces, build native and backend systems, create integrations, and test complete user journeys across local and cloud models.
What you'll do
Build and refine Ollama's desktop app, CLI, onboarding, and more.
Make agents and developer tools easy to connect to Ollama.
