Despite its significant potential for improving patient outcomes, brain monitoring is still not easily accessible or interpretable in clinical settings. We're going to fix that, and we'd like you to help.
We're a stealth-mode startup founded by numerical programmers, neuroscientists, ML researchers, and practicing neurologists who are committed to translating our best-of-breed clinical research from the lab into hospitals and beyond. We're well-funded, well-connected, and own a well-labeled set of brain data amassed over the past decade at some of the most prestigious medical institutions in the world. This dataset is, as far as we know, the largest of its kind in existence. We intend to put it to good use.
Our team is composed of neuro-experts, open-source enthusiasts, audio/DSP engineers, programming language nerds, and generally easy-going (but dedicated!) folks. We're adamant that...
- ...product development goes off the rails without rapid, early feedback from real users.
- ...honest, frequent, and open communication are more significant contributors to software development than technical wizardry.
- ...diversity is an integral part of strong engineering culture. Differing viewpoints are borne from differing backgrounds, and lack of diversity contributes to stagnation.
- You're an expert in the client-side design and implementation of responsive, multi-platform web applications.
- You believe that "looks great" does not necessarily equal "feels great"...but your favorite applications accomplish both!
- You know that UX/UI optimization for expert users is a game in which minuscule details can wreck workflows or convert users to evangelists in equal measure.
- You're annoyed that modern websites ship megabytes of unnecessary dependencies to user's browsers. You're painfully aware of the difference between "DRY" as an important guiding principle of software development, and "DRY" as a cargo-cult mentality used to justify lazy over-coupling of code.
- You have a heavily-exercised workflow for debugging performance issues and deciding which layer of the stack merits optimization.
- You recognize the tension in the development feedback loop between client- and service-side environments, and derive immense satisfaction from improving development processes to tighten that loop.
- Your productivity bottleneck constantly switches between "idea-to-mockup time" and "mockup-to-implementation" time, because you're constantly improving both in turn.
- You're excited for your designs to lead to better workflows for clinicians and better outcomes for patients.
- You sigh at bullet-pointed job descriptions that try to prescribe visceral emotional reactions to technical opinions.
