Software Engineer, Data Engineering

Neuralink is at the forefront of brain-computer interface technology, developing devices that enable direct communication between the human brain and computers. As a Software Engineer on the Data Engineering Team, you'll be part of a revolutionary mission to restore movement to the paralyzed and sight to the blind.

The role involves working with a diverse, cross-functional team including neuroscientists, physicists, roboticists, and various engineering specialists. You'll be responsible for building Neuralink's centralized data aggregation and analysis platform, which handles everything from neural signal recordings to brain histology images and microfabrication manufacturing data.

The position operates like an internal startup, emphasizing rapid prototyping and iterative development. You'll own end-to-end projects, from gathering requirements to delivering production-ready solutions. The work involves building data systems, maintaining low-latency pipelines, creating user-friendly dashboarding platforms, and growing MVPs into mature solutions.

This is an ideal opportunity for a software engineer with 1-2 years of leadership experience who excels at both technical implementation and cross-team communication. The role offers competitive compensation ($124,000 - $180,000) and comprehensive benefits including medical, dental, vision insurance, equity, and 401(k).

The position requires exceptional software engineering abilities, demonstrated through past achievements and leadership in delivering products or features. While experience with Python, Rust, and data analytics systems (Clickhouse, Delta Lake, Apache Spark) is preferred, any exceptional software engineer is encouraged to apply.

Working at Neuralink means being part of a dynamic environment where adaptability is key - you might work on projects ranging from neural data interpretation to developing surgical tools. The company offers growth potential for high-impact team members and the chance to work with some of the smartest minds in various fields.

This is an in-person position based in Austin, Texas, offering the opportunity to work on cutting-edge technology that could fundamentally change how humans interact with computers and help those with neurological conditions.
