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 looking for a hands-on Systems Engineer with deep expertise in data center design, build, and operations. You will own the end-to-end lifecycle of our compute and storage infrastructure, from site buildout and hardware procurement through deployment, automation, and day-to-day operations. The ideal candidate brings equal comfort on the data center floor and at the keyboard, thrives in a fast-paced, high-stakes environment, and has a passion for building reliable, scalable systems from the ground up. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • Experience building and supporting HPC or high-density compute environments: GPU clusters, high-performance storage
  • Hands-on experience with data center power, cooling, and racking design and operations
  • Strong Linux server administration experience, working knowledge of Windows Server
  • Experience automating bare-metal provisioning (PXE/HTTP boot) and configuration management with Terraform, Ansible, or Puppet
  • Familiarity with DCIM tools and infrastructure monitoring (Prometheus, Grafana, or similar)
  • Working knowledge of TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP, and NTP as they apply to server deployment and troubleshooting
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.

Neuralink's Information Technology team owns the corporate environment that every engineer, scientist, and clinician depends on to do their work. Within IT, the Compute function is responsible for the physical and server infrastructure that powers neural recording training, data processing, and engineering workloads: the data center floor itself, the GPU and HPC clusters that run on it, and the storage, provisioning, and monitoring that keep those systems healthy. We build this infrastructure from the ground up, manage it as code, and treat uptime for research workloads as production.
