We are creating the future of brain-computer interfaces: building devices now that have the potential to help people with paralysis regain mobility and independence and invent new technologies that could expand our abilities, our community, and our world.

Team Description:

Software Engineers at Neuralink work on a variety of interdisciplinary teams. You will have the opportunity to partner with colleagues across the company to accelerate our pathway to mass market, consumer-grade brain-computer interfaces. We are looking for driven software engineers who thrive in autonomous environments and love to solve hard problems.

  • Software to decode and process neural signals in real-time
  • On-prem & Cloud Infrastructure that enables the company to operate safely, robustly and move at light-speed

About you:

  • You deliver. You may enjoy thoughtful conversations about problems and perfecting designs, but in the end, you know that what matters is delivering a manufacturable solution that works every time.
  • You are a cross-disciplinary team member. You are excited to work with and learn from software, mechanical, electrical, materials, biological engineers, and neuroscientists. You are comfortable communicating across teams.
  • Resourceful, flexible and adaptable; no task is too big or too small.

  • You can design and implement effective software solutions.
  • You are excited about technology, software, and understanding how systems work at fundamental levels.

We believe the best solutions emerge and the best teams are created when you assemble high-performing individuals with different backgrounds, skill sets and perspectives, and allow them to engage in rigorous and thoughtful inquiry. We want to work with exceptional people, and, to the extent that you excel, we want you to take on more responsibility and help all of us succeed. If this speaks to you, come join us.

In your application, please include examples of your technical accomplishments and why you want to work at Neuralink.
