About Neuralink:
We are creating devices that enable a bi-directional interface with the brain. These devices allow us to restore movement to the paralyzed, restore sight to the blind, and revolutionize how humans interact with their digital world.
Team Description:
The Hippocampus Software Team works closely with other teams—neuroscientists, physicists, roboticists, chip designers, pathologists, and mechanical engineers—to build Neuralink’s centralized data aggregation and analysis platform. This data platform collects, organizes, and visualizes a diverse set of data ranging from neural signal recordings and brain histology images to microfabrication manufacturing data. Our team owns projects that drive engineering and experimentation at Neuralink.
We operate like an internal startup – rapidly prototyping and building software that solves problems for the company. This usually takes the form of full-stack tools, but can be any tech stack. If you are obsessed with smooth user experience and love to iterate rapidly on software, you may be a good fit for this role!
Job Description and Responsibilities:
As a Software Engineer on the Hippocampus Software Team, you will have the opportunity to impact engineering and experimentation at Neuralink. You will fully own and drive projects, from interfacing with stakeholders and gathering requirements, to delivering exceptional software. Our ideal candidate has accomplished a record of outstanding achievement in software engineering. Additionally, you will be expected to:
- Take end-to-end ownership of software development projects, including, but not limited to, full-stack development and cutting-edge data engineering work
- Gather requirements in ambiguous problem spaces and design elegant solutions
- Participate in design reviews and code reviews of other team members' projects
- Work directly and iteratively with stakeholders to grow MVPs into mature solutions
- Own the design, development, and testing of software development projects
- Deliver results. You may enjoy thoughtful conversations about problems and perfecting designs, but in the end, you know that what matters is delivering a solution that works
- Be a cross-disciplinary team member. You are excited to work with and learn from software, mechanical, electrical, materials, and biological engineers, as well as neuroscientists. You are comfortable communicating across teams.
- Be resourceful, flexible, and adaptable; no task is too big or too small
