- Design, implement, test, and maintain software for our cloud platform. You will work on APIs and distributed microservices that power our patient-facing mobile app, clinical support tool, and data science workflows.
- Build production-grade AI applications that transform neurological data and clinical information into actionable insights, working closely with data scientists to deploy and iterate in a secure environment.
- Share responsibility for production. We’re not perfect, but our infrastructure is fully automated and our stack is instrumented with observability, CI/CD, and strong security practices. You will be responsible for upholding and improving these practices, including writing tests, validating your work, and participating in daily production deployments.
- Mentor and be mentored. Give and receive thoughtful feedback on feature design, code reviews, and more.
- Balance short and long-term technical priorities. You will work with Product, Project Managers, and other engineers to understand and clarify requirements for the projects you are working on. You will help establish tradeoffs between short- and long-term priorities, so that we can deliver reliable new features, lay groundwork for scaling our platform, and keep tech debt to a minimum.
- Be part of a culture of explicit ethical consideration. We apply these considerations to ourselves, our team, and the patients whose data we are entrusted with.
Minimum Requirements
- At least 3 years as a backend software engineer, building cloud-native applications (we’re on AWS).
- Professional experience with Python or Go.
- A track record of using unit and integration testing frameworks to provide high test coverage for your projects.
- Direct experience working on projects that included at least one of the following:
- GraphQL, RESTful, or gRPC APIs
- ETL pipelines
- Relational and NoSQL databases
- Asynchronous/job-based execution (e.g. queues, pub/sub, web sockets)
- Handling of sensitive data (e.g. medical, emergency services, financial)
- Storing and querying time series data
- Building and/or deploying ML models (e.g. with tools like MLFlow, AWS SageMaker, Weights & Biases)
Skills We Look For
- You have strong attention to detail. The data we ingest is complicated and sometimes messy – having a robust, scalable, and reliable data pipeline is critical to everything that we build.
- You are adept at collaborating outside of engineering, including making software concepts accessible to non-engineers and asking questions about domains that are outside your area of expertise (e.g. neuroscience research!).
- Your code is well-commented, well-structured, readable, and maintainable by another human being. You have a strong sense of ownership, but don’t growl anytime someone comes near your code.
- You have a strong belief in automated unit and integration tests, and you’re diligent about monitoring your features and services in production.
- You are eager to help teammates brainstorm and debug, and you're willing to ask for help when you need it.
- You are comfortable working on a remote team that is distributed across timezones (in North America).
Practical Stuff
- You must reside in and be authorized to work in either the U.S. or Canada.
- We are a fully remote team within the U.S. and Canada. We require everyone to be available in general for collective team meeting hours from 10am - 2pm Pacific Time (1pm - 5pm Eastern Time) daily.
Compensation

What We Do
Every day, thousands of brain images and signals are captured during clinical trials and in the course of routine patient care. Our software platform helps partners in med-tech and pharma ingest, organize, and analyze large amounts of brain data, all on state-of-the-art secure cloud infrastructure. Enabled by brain data, StrivePD, our patient and clinician software, delivers precision care in Parkinson's Disease. We’re a team of curious, driven individuals with diverse backgrounds and skills, passionate about creating the next generation of care for people with neurological disorders.
Why Work With Us
We founded Rune Labs to make clinical brain data useful, but we always remember that brains have owners. This human centric view extends to our own company, where we promote a high integrity culture. We believe strongly in work-life balance, having fun along the way, and maintaining a workplace that people are excited to return to every morning.
