Science
Base pay range
$113,000.00/yr - $210,000.00/yr
About the company Science is a clinical stage, vertically integrated technology company focused on solving some of neuroscience’s hardest questions and most serious unmet medical needs. We work to restore quality of life to those with debilitating conditions for which there are no treatment options, creating devices aimed at restoring vision, cognition, and mobility to patients who have lost it. To support progress across our industry, we provide state‑of‑the‑art components and vertically integrated infrastructure for others to build on via Science Foundry.
Job Overview Science is developing SciFi, a ruggedized neural recording headstage, and the accompanying SDK, synapse. This platform will enable neuroscientists, researchers, and medical device implementers to write high‑performance code that runs directly on the device. We are looking for an experienced systems software engineer to join onsite in Alameda, CA to help build out both the SciFi hardware platform and its software ecosystem. This represents a new way to think about neural recording and processing. We are moving away from bulky, centralized recording setups towards distributed, edge‑based computation. You will be building the foundation that allows users to implement real‑time neural signal processing, decoding inference, and low‑latency streaming directly on SciFi. We’re looking for technical and product judgement above all: can you ask the right questions to understand how neuroscientists think about their experiments, then turn around and build performant systems and APIs that make sense for their workflows, quickly?
Key Qualifications
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
Preferred Qualifications
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
Science is required under California law to include a reasonable estimate of the compensation range for this role. We determine your level based on your interview performance and make an offer based on the indicated salary band. The base salary range for this full‑time position is $113,000 – $210,000 annually + equity + benefits. Within the range, individual pay is determined by several factors, including job‑related skills, experience, and relevant education or training. Please keep in mind that the equity portion of the offer is not included in these numbers.
Benefits
Competitive salary and equity
Medical, dental, vision and life insurance
Flexible vacation and company‑paid holidays
Healthy meals and snacks provided onsite
Paid parental, jury duty, bereavement, family care and medical leave
Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account, subsidized by Science
Flexible Spending Account
