Neuralink has introduced a new careers page. Love how they lay out the kinds of applicants that they want and don't want:
"OUR VALUES
How we actually operate:
• Focus on the user: Every decision traces back to the people who depend on this technology. Their outcomes are the only metric that can't be argued with.
• Think from first principles: Reason from physics and evidence instead of precedent.
• Deliver urgently without compromise: Speed and rigor aren't trade-offs here. The work has to be fast because people are waiting, and right because it ships into human beings.
• Demand excellence: The bar is the best work of your life. Hold it for yourself and expect it from the person next to you.
• Act with kindness: Direct feedback, hard problems, decent humans. Brilliance is not an excuse.
WHO SHOULD NOT APPLY
This job isn’t for everyone:
• You enjoy the comfort of a 9-to-5: The pace is intense. People are waiting on this technology, and our schedule reflects that.
• You need certainty before you're willing to start: We're building without precedent. If the standard approach worked, this would already exist.
• You want to own one layer and hand off the rest: Problems cross silicon, robotics, and biology. Follow yours until it works in a human being.
• You prefer remote work: The lab, the robot, and your teammates are in the building. So is the job.
• You expect seniority to win arguments: The best idea wins here, whoever it comes from. Bring evidence, not tenure."
