Software Engineer Intern, Implant

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.

The Brain Interfaces Software Team is responsible for the end‑to‑end software stack that manages implant communication, verification, manufacturing and monitoring. We own client side SDKs and full‑stack platforms that are used by various divisions within the company. We are looking for versatile engineers who are interested in architecting and implementing elegant software solutions and who thrive with the autonomy to propose creative approaches to problems.
