The work

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

Who they want

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

Who they want

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

What you get

Expected Compensation

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. We also believe in aligning our employees’ success with the company's long-term growth.
