About Paradromics

Brain-related illness is one of the last great frontiers in medicine not because the brain is unknowable but because it has been inaccessible. Paradromics is building a brain-computer interface (BCI) platform that records brain activity at the highest possible resolution: the individual neuron. AI algorithms then decode this massive amount of brain-data enabling the seamless translation of thought into treatments.

Our first clinical application the Connexus® BCI will help people who are unable to speak due to ALS spinal cord injuries and stroke to communicate independently through digital devices. However the capabilities of our BCI platform go far beyond our first application. With the brain in direct communication with digital devices we can leverage technology to transform how we treat conditions ranging from sensory and motor deficits to untreatable mental illness.

The Role

As a Software Engineer at Paradromics you’ll work closely with our team of Scientists and Engineers to develop software that enables our clinical applications. You will help design software to restore communication ability for our BCI users enabling successful clinical studies of the Connexus System.

Responsibilities

• Develop data curation strategies for user interaction and BCI data
• Realize BCI decoding algorithms as performant software
• Evaluate software with simulated and real neural data as well as with our BCI hardware in the loop
• Participate in code reviews and contribute to the development of new features and tools
• Work closely with our engineering neuroscience and quality teams to identify and capture needs and requirements
• Regularly travel between our Austin and Oakland offices

Required Education

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science Computer Engineering or a related field; or equivalent real world experience
• 3+ years of professional experience relevant to this role

Required Qualifications

• Highly proficient in Python
• Experience with Rust C++ or Go
• Familiarity with machine learning concepts and experience collaborating with machine learning practitioners
• Demonstrated prior professional experience with multiple programming languages

Preferred Qualifications

What We Do

ENABLING NEUROTECHNOLOGY Paradromics’ Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) platform records brain activity at the highest possible resolution: the individual neuron. Our AI algorithms decode this massive amount of brain-data enabling the seamless translation of thought into treatments. THE MISSION Data-driven BCI-based technologies for brain health Our technology will help millions with unmet medical needs suffering from paralysis and movement disorders to chronic pain addiction depression and other mental health conditions. ABOUT Matt Angle Ph.D. (CEO) founded Paradromics to build a high-data-rate BCI platform capable of addressing critical unmet clinical needs. With early funding from the NIH and DARPA the company developed its core neurotechnology and by 2019 shifted focus to its first product: the Connexus® BCI. Connexus is designed to restore communication through text synthesized speech and computer control for people with severe motor impairments including those caused by ALS stroke or spinal cord injury. Backed by two FDA Breakthrough Device Designations and a successful first-in-human recording in May 2025 Paradromics is now preparing to launch a clinical trial in late 2025 to evaluate the long-term safety and participant benefits of their first product the Connexus BCI.
