- Bazel and Nix
- Kubernetes
- GitLab CI
- AWS
- Ubuntu, Fedora
Focus:
- Developing the foundations for teams to build the software and systems required for record-breaking BCI experiences.
- Enhancing developer experience with robust tooling and build-system infrastructure.
- Building foundational infrastructure for HITL (hardware in the loop) testing across firmware, BCI, and robot teams.
- Ground-up infrastructure of on-premise solutions as well as cloud architecture.
- Foundational software engineering with a focus on serving internal software teams.
Qualifications:
- Experience using IAC tools such as Terraform, Docker, Packer, Ansible, Cloud-Init, Kickstart.

About Neuralink
Neuralink is a team of exceptionally talented people. We are creating the future of brain-machine interfaces: building devices now that will help people with paralysis and inventing new technologies that will expand our abilities, our community, and our world. Our goal is to build a system with at least two orders of magnitude more communication channels (electrodes) than current clinically-approved devices. This system needs to be safe, it must have fully wireless communication through the skin, and it has to be ready for patients to take home and use on their own. Our device, called the Link, will be able to record from 1024 electrodes and is designed to meet these criteria.
