Software Engineer

About This Role

Join Science to build SciFi, a ruggedized neural recording headstage, and its accompanying SDK, synapse, revolutionizing neural recording and processing by moving towards distributed, edge-based computation for real-time neural signal processing.

Responsibilities

• Help build out both the SciFi hardware platform and its software ecosystem
• Build the foundation that allows users to implement real-time neural signal processing, decoding inference, and low-latency streaming directly on SciFi
• Ask the right questions to understand how neuroscientists think about their experiments
• Build performant systems and APIs that make sense for neuroscientists' workflows quickly

Requirements

• 3+ years systems programming experience in C++, Rust, or similar low-level languages
• Proficiency with Linux development and debugging tools
• Experience with hardware interfaces, device drivers, or embedded systems
• Understanding of real-time systems and low-latency programming
• Experience with multithreading programming and concurrency

Qualifications

• 3+ years systems programming experience

Nice to Have

• Experience building APIs, SDKs, or developer platforms
• Background in high-performance computing, game engines, or real-time media systems
• Experience with networking protocols and data streaming
• Knowledge of signal processing or DSP programming
• Previous work on IoT devices, robotics, or similar embedded systems
• Experience with scientific instrumentation or data acquisition systems
• Background in medical devices or regulated environments
• Familiarity with wireless communication protocols
