Job description

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:

Join the Brain Interfaces Software Team and be part of a team of remarkable and driven engineers accelerating our pathway to human ready brain-computer interfaces. We are a small, but fast-moving team that collaborates with other exceptional teams of mechanical, electrical, and firmware engineers.

Neuralink strives to be, as much as possible, a meritocratic environment: we require honest and transparent communication to ensure the best ideas win out, and we believe the best solutions emerge and the best teams are created when you assemble high-performing individuals 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.

Job Description & Responsibilities:

We are looking for a versatile Software Engineer who is passionate about architecting and implementing elegant software solutions and thrives with autonomy to propose creative approaches to problems. You will be responsible for writing software to interact with Neuralink’s implant, as well as building systems for manufacturing and testing the device. Additionally, you will be expected to:

Develop and improve Neuralink’s implant manufacturing line acceptance software and station
Develop and improve Neuralink's implant design verification testing software
Optimize and maintain Neuralink’s implant software build infrastructure
Develop and improve Neuralink’s implant SDK

Required Qualifications:

Fluent in Python and at least one system language including Rust, C++, and C (don’t get hung up on this—being an exceptional software engineer matters above all)
Experience and proficiency with Linux/Unix systems
Evidence of exceptional ability in engineering, mathematics, or computer science
Solid understanding of engineering first principles
Strong intuition for what matters in a production system vs. research-grade environments

Additional Requirements and Competencies:

You find large challenges exciting and enjoy discovering and defining problems as much as solving them
You deliver; you may enjoy thoughtful conversations about problems and perfecting design, but in the end, you know that what matters is delivering reliable solutions (Our ultimate aim is to help people; the “right” solution doesn’t always achieve that)
You are mission-driven and goal-oriented in your approach to solving problems
You feel a sense of urgency to get things done sooner rather than later—because there is so much we, as people, can contribute to the world and accomplish in this life, it’s a shame to waste time
You are resourceful, flexible, and adaptable; no task is too big or too small

The anticipated base salary for this position is expected to be within the following range. Your actual base pay will be determined by your job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
