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

As a Software Engineer on the Robot Manufacturing Team, you'll work directly with robot engineers and surgical engineers to understand what they need, then build it. You won't be handed a spec doc from a product manager three layers removed from the problem.

What they're looking for

  • A bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or equivalent demonstrated work experience
  • Strong full-stack engineering skills. Our stack is Ruby on Rails and React/TypeScript, but we care more about your ability to learn and ship than your resume matching our package.json
  • You've built software that real people use
  • You can talk to users, understand their problems, and translate that into well-built software. This role is deeply collaborative
  • You take ownership. When your software breaks on the floor, you fix it
  • You're comfortable with ambiguity. Manufacturing at this scale hasn't been done before for this kind of device
More about this role

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.

The Robot Manufacturing Software team allows Neuralink to build neurosurgical robots at a scale that has never been done before. Every robot that ships was tracked, assembled, calibrated, and verified through the software you'll build. This is the backbone of how we scale from early production to meeting real clinical demand.

We're a small, tightly knit team - and this role is the first dedicated owner of the robot manufacturing software stack. As the company scales, so will the complexity, and you'll be the one designing and building the systems that make all of that possible.

We operate as a tight, high-trust team. You'll have direct ownership and the autonomy to solve hard problems, but also high expectations.

We're moving fast to meet clinical demand and keep up with deployments. 60-hour weeks are not uncommon, and there are stretches where the pace is high. This isn't for everyone.
