What they need
- Neuralink is building brain-computer interfaces that will restore autonomy to people with unmet medical needs — and technology this consequential has to be secure at every layer
- The Security team protects both the company and the product
- The scope includes corporate infrastructure, endpoints, and identity systems our engineers rely on every day, and the implant, surgical robot, and clinical software platforms our participants depend on
- This role spans both sides of Neuralink’s mission, combining IT Security Operations and Product Security in one hands-on engineering seat
- As a Security Engineer on this team, you will defend our fleet, networks, and cloud by building detections, responding to incidents, and hardening systems
- You will threat model, review, and test the software we ship, from firmware and mobile apps to cloud services
- You will work as an individual contributor embedded with the Software team, close to the engineers who build these systems, with wide latitude to find the highest-impact security problems and fix them
- Run and improve security operations: triage and investigate alerts across endpoint, identity, network, email, and cloud, and lead incident response from detection through root cause and remediation
- Build and tune detections and response automation (SIEM, EDR, SOAR), and write tooling that eliminates manual security work and scales coverage as the company grows
- Partner with IT to harden corporate security infrastructure: SSO/MFA and identity lifecycle, endpoint management, email security, and vulnerability management
- Perform threat modeling and secure design and code reviews for Neuralink products — implant firmware, surgical robotics, BCI, infrastructure, ASIC, clinical and consumer-facing applications, and cloud backends
- Find vulnerabilities before attackers do: run internal security assessments and penetration tests, triage external vulnerability reports, and drive remediation with owning teams
- Establish and improve security standards, incident response runbooks, and secure development practices, partnering cross-functionally with software, infrastructure, IT, and compliance teams- Experience detecting, investigating, and responding to security incidents
- Clear communication with both technical and non-technical stakeholders, and sound judgment under pressure
- Hands-on experience in security engineering, security operations, or product/application security — or evidence of exceptional ability in lieu of traditional experience or qualifications
- Strong technical fundamentals: operating system internals (Linux, macOS, Windows), networking, and authentication/authorization
- An attacker’s mindset paired with a builder’s bias: you find problems and then fix them, independently and end-to-end
- Product security depth: threat modeling, secure code review at scale, or penetration testing of web, mobile, or embedded targets
- Experience securing cloud environments (AWS or similar), Kubernetes/containers, and infrastructure-as-code
- Embedded, firmware, or hardware security experience — especially for medical devices or other safety-critical systems
- Familiarity with security in regulated environments (FDA premarket cybersecurity guidance, HIPAA, SOC 2)
- CTF, bug bounty, or public security research track record, or relevant certifications (e.g., OSCP)
- Detection engineering or security automation experience across a modern SecOps stack
- Experience mentoring engineers or independently owning security processes end-to-end
