SetBuddy AI • Google Play • Meet the Team • Portland, OR
SetBuddy uses AI pose detection to watch your form and tell you what to fix — in real time. We've built the prototype. Now we need a team to make it real.
SetBuddy AI started as a duo project between Hassan Fakhry and Sherjil Khan — built from scratch, launched on Google Play, and demoed to a U.S. congresswoman through the Congressional App Challenge. The core tech works: film your set, and the AI analyzes your form using TensorFlow and MediaPipe pose detection.
A prototype isn't a product. We need engineers to build out the full platform, researchers to define what "bad form" actually means biomechanically, and marketers to get it in front of the people who need it. That's where you come in.
Not a school project. A live app on Google Play with real users and real engineering problems to solve.
Join early, shape the direction, and own a meaningful part of what gets built.
Work directly with TensorFlow, MediaPipe, and pose estimation — not tutorials, real implementation.
Ship features on a published app. That's worth more than any club membership.
You own the technical direction of SetBuddy's codebase and coordinate the engineering team's output. You're the bridge between what needs to get built and how it gets built.
You build and ship features on the SetBuddy app. You work directly with the codebase every week — writing code, fixing bugs, and improving the product for real users.
You support the Project Lead and step in when they're unavailable. You help keep day-to-day operations running smoothly across all teams.
You run interviews for incoming applicants and help decide who joins the team. You evaluate both skills and reliability — we need people who deliver, not just people who are interested.
You proactively find and reach out to potential team members. Instead of waiting for applications, you go find the right people in communities, schools, and online spaces.
You own the marketing strategy and coordinate the entire content pipeline. You decide what gets posted, when, and where — and you make sure the team hits its weekly quotas.
You write the words that get people to care about SetBuddy. Captions, scripts, ad copy, landing page text — if it's written content going out to the public, it starts with you.
You connect SetBuddy with fitness communities, influencers, and potential partners. You're the person who gets us in the room — or in the DMs — with people who can amplify what we're building.
You create video content that shows SetBuddy in action. Demos, tutorials, promo clips — you shoot or screen-record it, and you make it look good enough that people stop scrolling.
You design the visual assets that represent SetBuddy across all platforms — social posts, banners, app store graphics, and anything else that needs to look sharp and on-brand.
You're the final set of eyes before anything goes live. You edit video footage, polish graphics, and make sure every piece of content meets quality standards before it's published.
You get assigned an exercise (e.g. squat, deadlift). You research what any form issues are for that exercise, then write your findings as basic code — things like "if arm angle > 80°, flag as critical." You classify each issue as critical, moderate, or minor, write a short message explaining how to fix it, and link a video tutorial. Research Consultants work in pairs and submit their code to a Google Doc. The Team Lead — who needs to be a software engineer — takes that code and puts it into the actual codebase. No prior coding experience needed for consultants — it's very simple and we'll teach you. New exercises get added every 1–2 weeks.
You lead the research effort and are responsible for putting the final code into the codebase. This role requires software engineering experience — you're the one translating the consultants' findings into working detection logic.
You work in a pair with one other consultant. Together, you get assigned an exercise each week, research the form issues, and write your findings as basic code — things like "if arm angle > 80, flag as critical." You submit that code to a Google Doc, and the Team Lead puts it into the actual codebase. No prior coding experience needed — it's very simple and we'll teach you.
Our stack is built around mobile AI — real-time pose detection running on-device. If you've worked with any of these, you'll feel at home.
No office, no location requirements. What matters is that work gets done on time and communication stays clear.
Deadlines are collaborative. If something's off, say so early — not the day it's due.
Small PRs, clear commits, one review minimum. No shortcuts.
Everyone's contribution is visible and everyone's absence is felt.
Critique the code, not the person. Credit contributions publicly.
Applications close April 12th. If selected, we'll reach out to schedule a short interview.
Apply to SetBuddy AIA note on pay
This is a pre-revenue project. No one's getting paid yet, including me. I don't want SetBuddy to just be a line on my resume or anyone else's. I see a real future for this product.
The moment the app starts making money, I'll sit down with the team and we can compensate fairly.
If you're asking about pay, that actually makes me happy. It means you see the vision too. Reach out to me directly and I can walk you through the plan.
