Beacon Biosignals is on a mission to revolutionize precision medicine for the brain. We are the leading at-home EEG platform supporting clinical development of novel therapeutics for neurological, psychiatric, and sleep disorders. Our FDA 510(k)-cleared Waveband EEG headband and AI algorithms enable quantitative biomarker discovery and implementation. Beacon’s Clinico-EEG database contains EEG data from nearly 100,000 patients, and our cloud-native analytics platform powers large-scale RWD/RWE retrospective and predictive studies. Beacon Biosignals is changing the way that patients are treated for any disorder that affects brain physiology.
Beacon Biosignals is seeking a talented software engineer to scale up our scientific outputs, which power novel clinical diagnostics and enable therapy development to improve brain health.
As part of the Analytics Suites Team, you'll build and maintain scientific software tooling and automated analytics pipelines that process raw biosignal data and machine learning outputs, generate biosignal-derived metrics, and combine them with clinical metadata to render scientific outputs. You will own a wide swath of the analytics stack, from library-level tools to platform-hosted services and versioned data models, CI/CD pipelines, and customer-facing reports and dashboards. This is a product-oriented role - you'll work with clinicians and cross-functional stakeholders to identify high-impact improvements to our analytics platform. You'll also collaborate closely with neuroscientists, data scientists, and other engineering teams to develop composable, reliable tooling that powers both productized analytics and custom scientific endeavors.
Why this role? You'll combine rigorous software development practices and a strong understanding of scientific analysis and experimentation to strengthen our analytics platform and deliver reproducible scientific insights at scale.
At Beacon, we've found that cultural and scientific impact is driven most by those who lead by example. As such, we're always seeking out new contributors whose work demonstrates innate curiosity, a bias toward simplicity, an eye for composability, a self-service mindset, and most of all, a deep empathy toward colleagues, stakeholders, users, and patients. We believe a diverse team builds more robust systems and achieves higher impact.
Beacon's robust asynchronous work practices ensure a first-class remote work experience, and we also have in-person office hubs located in Boston, New York City, and Paris.
