About the role

Software engineering role inside Neuralink’s Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) team, building native applications that translate live neural streams into digital device control with very low latency, and shaping interaction paradigms for neural control of computers and speech.

Responsibilities

  • Talk with users daily, watch them use what you built, and ship improvements the same day
  • Build native applications that convert a live neural stream into digital device control within 15ms
  • Design and ship interaction paradigms for neural control of a computer (cursor, text entry, selection, scrolling, zooming, error recovery) and speech
  • Integrate with operating systems and third-party software through accessibility, HID, and input-injection layers so users can drive any app
  • Extend control to new devices: phones, game consoles, wheelchairs, robotic arms, and more

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, a related field, or equivalent experience
  • Strong computer science fundamentals (data structures, system design, algorithms, operating systems, low latency concurrency programming, memory management, and/or networking)
  • Have shipped code to production or open source that users rely on daily (bonus if native applications on macOS, iOS, or Android)
  • Track record of high-impact delivery with clear metrics and fast iteration
  • Excellent communication skills
  • Deep curiosity to understand and expand human consciousness
  • Note: no neuroscience background required
