ABOUT ORBIT We're a team of engineers, neuroscientists, and designers working to deepen our understanding of the human brain. We're building a wearable brain-computer interface and models that decode emotion, with the goal of putting human experience and wellbeing at the center of technology. Our work spans neural sensors, embedded systems, scientific software, and AI. We're venture funded, with backing from founders and executives across AI, neurotechnology, consumer hardware, and pharmaceuticals, including Google, Hugging Face, Apple, Stability, Microsoft, and Dropbox. ABOUT THE ROLE Build the data foundation that connects neural recordings to scientific discovery. This is a greenfield opportunity to shape our backend architecture, data model, database design, and the services that make recordings accessible and useful. You'll have real influence over technology choices and how the platform grows. Leading candidates include Supabase and PostgreSQL, with S3-compatible object storage and Zarr v3 for scientific arrays. We favor focused services and managed infrastructure that give a small team room to build ambitious capabilities. YOU WILL - Shape the backend architecture and select technologies around the needs of our product, researchers, and engineering team. - Design the data model and relational database schema, including recording identity, configuration, provenance, relationships, indexing, and schema migrations. - Build APIs and services for ingesting, storing, discovering, and retrieving recordings and their metadata. - Design authentication, authorization, and credential flows that make access secure and straightforward. - Collaborate with desktop engineers on robust upload and synchronization workflows that preserve recording integrity. - Develop scientific data storage around useful access patterns, balancing performance, scalability, and cost. - Establish automated testing, continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD), and observability that keep the plat…
