• Comfortable working across the stack — from data pipelines and simulation tooling to user-facing applications

• Interested in real-time data processing, scientific computing, and working close to cutting-edge neuroimaging hardware

• Able to quickly learn new technologies, dive deep into unfamiliar problem spaces, and contribute in multiple areas

• Excited to learn neuroimaging and neuroscience context (we will support you in getting up to speed)

Preferred Qualifications/Experience

• BS or higher in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mathematics or related STEM field; exceptional self-taught engineers also considered

You do not need all of these — we value depth in some and curiosity for the rest

• Experience building backend systems, APIs, or cloud-based infrastructure.

• Familiarity with real-time or high-throughput data processing pipelines.

• Exposure to scientific computing, data infrastructure, or simulation tooling.

• Experience with databases, distributed systems, or cloud deployment.

• Comfort working with Python, C/C++, and/or modern web frameworks.

Nice-to-have

• Experience with GPU acceleration, parallel computing, or HPC.

• Familiarity with neuroimaging, medical imaging, or other scientific data domains.

• Full-stack skills for building internal tools and user-facing applications.

• Interest in ML pipelines or model training workflows.
