Please do not apply if you have no interest in mental health. Thank you!

Mental Health is an epidemic that’s getting worse day by day. Depression, anxiety, ADHD, suicide, and PTSD are at an all-time high. This needs to change. We humans were not made for this sort of life. We were never designed for the sedentary, indoor, socially isolated, fast-food-laden, sleep-deprived, frenzied pace of modern life. We are being robbed by the same tech that was meant to add value to our lives.

As a 3x founder, I’m looking to change the current ecosystem in which we operate for mental health. I’m against anti-depressants, and most medications that are prescribed to numb our shit. Talk therapy is not as effective. We know ranting does not help solve our problems. CBT and DBT are great starting points, but never enough to improve mental health. Our communities are falling apart ( I mean,they are online yet not really helping us). Tech companies are using human psychology to trick us all into being addicted and exploit our insecurities. This is not the future we should live in.

it’s not

We are seeking a Software Developer with a passion for building breakthrough technology from the ground up. You will be instrumental in developing our neurofeedback platform, working closely with our hardware team to create seamless hardware-software integration. This is a rare opportunity to build a complete product ecosystem from 0 to 1, where your code will directly impact the lives of people seeking relief from mental health challenges.

As a founding member of our engineering team, you'll have the autonomy to make architectural decisions, define development processes, and shape our technical culture while working on meaningful technology that truly matters.

What you'll build:

• Develop low-level drivers and firmware interfaces for our custom hardware
• Create real-time data acquisition systems
• Build communication protocols between hardware sensors and software applications
• Implement signal processing pipelines that transform raw neural data into meaningful insights
• Design and build our complete software platform from the ground up with a team of 3-5 people
• Develop real-time applications that provide immediate feedback
• Build cloud infrastructure for data processing, storage, and analytics
• Write embedded software for microcontrollers and sensor systems
• Develop mobile applications for iOS and Android that interface with our hardware
• Implement wireless communication protocols (Bluetooth, WiFi) for seamless connectivity
• Optimize power consumption and performance for wearable devices

Technical Skills

• Systems Programming: 3+ years of experience in C/C++ for embedded systems and real-time applications
• Hardware Integration: Hands-on experience interfacing software with custom hardware (SPI, I2C, UART, USB)
• Signal Processing: Understanding of digital signal processing, filtering, and real-time data analysis
• Full-Stack Development: Proficiency in modern frameworks (React, Node.js, Python, or similar)
• Mobile Development: Experience with iOS/Android development and hardware connectivity
• Embedded Systems: Experience with microcontrollers, RTOS, and resource-constrained environments

Preferred Technical Skills

• Experience with biomedical devices or sensor systems
• Knowledge of wireless protocols and low-power design
• Familiarity with machine learning frameworks for real-time inference
• Understanding of cybersecurity principles for medical devices
• Cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) and DevOps practices

Core Competencies

• 0-to-1 Mindset: Proven ability to build products from concept to production
• Hardware Collaboration: Experience working closely with electrical engineers and hardware teams
• Problem Solving: Ability to debug complex hardware-software integration issues
• Quality Focus: Understanding of testing, validation, and quality assurance for critical systems
• Learning Agility: Excitement about learning new technologies and domains
• Mission Alignment: Passion for using technology to improve mental healthcare - if you don't care about mental health, do not apply.

Education

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related technical field
• 3+ years of software development experience with at least 1 year in hardware-software integration
• Experience building products from early-stage concepts to production deployment
• Previous startup experience or demonstrated ability to work in fast-paced, ambiguous environments

Here is what is our game-plan and next steps:

• Review your profile and my profile
• Sign NDA about the idea
• Connect via zoom for an interview
• Continue connecting until we reach a consensus
• Start building the hardware and software of the offering
• Start building the team (currently in progress)

As a previous founder, I understand how important it is to make a strong team. My process as a founder is for us to get to know each other in depth, this means all cards on the table. Vulnerabilities about who we are and where we are coming from and what we want. Being honest about the idea and building something for a long term. I want to spend the rest of my life building this mental health organization.

I want to honestly alleviate depression, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD and other mental disorders from those that suffer. Strong sentiments I know. But I will not back down from this mission.
