Member of Technical Staff

About the role

We design biological brains. Compile maps the modifiability landscape of complete connectomes, extracts gene-guided circuits, reverse-compiles to growth programs, and grows functional circuits from specification alone. 22 results across 2 species. The computational loop is closed. We are a small team in New York looking for engineers who want to build the infrastructure for connectome-scale circuit design and growth program generation. This is an opportunity to build something that matters.

Responsibilities

• Build and scale the directed evolution engine for connectome-scale edge sweeps
• Implement sequential activity-dependent growth simulation (the pipeline that produced nav score 851 vs FlyWire 577)
• Build the compile.now platform (Next.js, Go, React Three Fiber)
• Scale evolution, growth simulation, and edge sweep infrastructure across AWS
• Build real-time 3D brain visualization, growth program tools, and circuit library APIs

Requirements

• Deep technical intuition and can learn new domains quickly
• Comfortable working across the stack: PyTorch, distributed compute, data pipelines, web
• Can ship production code fast while maintaining quality
• Want to work on hard problems at a small company with a ship fast culture

Nice to Have

• Experience with scientific computing, neural simulation, or agent-based growth models
• Background in connectomics, computational neuroscience, or bioinformatics
• Experience with GPU-accelerated PyTorch models or distributed systems
• Publications or open-source work in relevant areas
