About Neuralink

Creating a generalized brain interface to restore autonomy to those with unmet medical needs today and unlock human potential tomorrow. Backed by Lightspeed, Sequoia and Founders Fund.

About the role

Neuralink is building brain-computer interfaces that will restore autonomy to people with unmet medical needs — and technology this consequential has to be secure at every layer. The Security team protects both the company and the product. The scope includes corporate infrastructure, endpoints, and identity systems our engineers rely on every day, and the implant, surgical robot, and clinical software platforms our participants depend on.

What they're looking for

  • Hands-on experience in security engineering, security operations, or product/application security — or evidence of exceptional ability in lieu of traditional experience or qualifications
  • Strong technical fundamentals: operating system internals (Linux, macOS, Windows), networking, and authentication/authorization
  • Experience detecting, investigating, and responding to security incidents
  • An attacker’s mindset paired with a builder’s bias: you find problems and then fix them, independently and end-to-end
  • Clear communication with both technical and non-technical stakeholders, and sound judgment under pressure
More about this role
