Job description

About Nudge

At Nudge, our mission is to develop the best technology for interfacing with the brain to improve people's lives. We're starting with an approach that we believe can help the most people the fastest, and also allow us to learn as much about the brain as possible: developing a non‑invasive, ultrasound‑based device that can stimulate and image the brain at high resolution and depth. This is a vertically integrated effort building cutting‑edge hardware, software, and research capabilities to create products that can benefit millions — and eventually billions — of people.

About You

We are looking for engineers of all levels but regardless of your career level, you should have:

• Strong engineering / physics first principles
• Experience with full-stack web development (Python, Typescript, etc.)
• Experience with infrastructure engineering and site‑reliability (Kubernetes, AWS, Terraform, etc.)
• Degree in Computer Science or similar engineering discipline
• A demonstrated history of shipping high-impact projects to customers and responding to feedback
• High integrity and strong professional judgement
