    Description

    Staff Software Engineer

    We are looking for an ambitious Staff Software Engineer to help us reverse-engineer the human brain.

    This role spans a broad spectrum of activities:

    • Define and architect high-performance infrastructure for training large-scale models and running complex simulations.
    • Design and optimize custom RL environments informed by neuroscience.
    • Set the organizational standard for clean, fast, production-grade code that boosts our research velocity.
    • Turn research prototypes into scalable production systems.
    • Identify and resolve the most critical and ambiguous technical bottlenecks, from low-level optimization to high-level strategy, to unblock the research team.

    Qualifications

    • High-Velocity Craftsmanship: You set the bar for clean, maintainable, and well-tested code at a startup pace. You know how to balance engineering rigor with the need to iterate quickly on research prototypes.
    • System Architecture Intuition: You have proven success architecting complex systems from scratch. You understand multi-year trade-offs, and you can design infrastructure that survives the chaos of research.
    • Extreme Adaptability: You might be an expert in distributed systems today, but you are ready to become a novice in neuroscience tomorrow. You have a track record of diving into complex domains, mastering them quickly, and guiding others through them.
    • Mastery of Hard Problems: You have a track record of leading the resolution of difficult engineering challenges, whether it is massive scale distributed systems or kernel-level optimization. You do not shy away from what your peers consider hardcore.

    Location & Visa

    • This role is in-person in Emeryville, CA.
    • Visa sponsorship may be available for qualified candidates.
