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:
The Data Engineering Team works closely with other teams-neuroscientists, physicists, roboticists, chip designers, pathologists, and mechanical engineers-to build Neuralink's centralized data aggregation and analysis platform. This data platform collects, organizes, and visualizes a diverse set of data ranging from neural signal recordings and brain histology images to microfabrication manufacturing data. Our team owns projects that drive engineering and experimentation at Neuralink.
We operate like an internal startup - rapidly prototyping and building software that solves problems for the company. If you are obsessed with smooth user experience and love to iterate rapidly on software, you may be a good fit for this role!
