Overview

InteraXon has recently launched the second generation of our consumer wearable EEG product “Muse: the brain sensing headband” in the US, Canada, and internationally(see: http://choosemuse.com). The Muse mobile app teaches users how to meditate while giving them real-time feedback on how they are doing. It helps to solve some fundamental difficulties with learning to meditate, such as: “how do I do it?”, “how do I know if I am doing it right?”, and “how do I stay motivated?”.  Our goal is to unlock human potential.

The Role and Responsibilities

We are looking for a talented and dedicated developer who would like to help us to continue to build out our cloud and big data platform for storing EEG data. The core skills are developing backend web services in Python on Google Cloud Platform. The ideal candidate should have a strong background in computer science with solid OOP and software architecture skills. This person should enjoy writing excellent documentation and tests for their code. We practice “outsourcing” everything except our core value proposition, so part of your work would be to find external libraries or services that will fulfill a need instead of writing it yourself. Since we build a meditation app, part of the job involves learning about and practicing meditation.

What We Are Looking For

There are four main questions we are trying to answer when finding someone to join our team: 1) do you like what we are building?, 2) do you get along with everyone on the team? 3) do you like what you do? 4) are you amazing at what you do?

  • Computer Science degree, Masters desired
