DO THE BEST WORK OF YOUR LIFE

 

Would you like to be a part of an innovative venture-backed startup that is pioneering the next frontier in human communication? Cognixion is building a revolutionary sensory communication platform with an audacious goal of being able to communicate with anyone around the world via a direct brain computer interface, augmented reality and other nonverbal inputs. Specifically, translating brainwave patterns into digital controls that can be utilized to give people with severe disabilities greater access to communication, giving professionals access to data that helps them make better choices, and new more natural user interfaces for communicating with others. We’re unlocking human potential by working at the intersection of artificial intelligence (A.I.), augmented reality (AR) and neurotechnology and are developing a platform of accessible solutions that accelerate communication access for those who need it most.

We have a very team-oriented environment and work in a collaborative fashion. We have grown over the past four years and now have offices and employees based in Santa Barbara California and Toronto Ontario.

 

We are seeking a hardworking, outcome-driven Cloud & Full-Stack Software Developer. It is an Intermediate level role with potential to rapidly develop and grow into a senior level position – working across a variety of innovative human interface challenges.

The role requires an individual that is a self-starter, highly organized and entrepreneurial with a leaning toward crisp communication (brevity) but also depth when explaining complex ideas, insights or solutions – that help non-technical people understand the solutions as easily as the most technical expert. This individual can get lots of things done themselves and via collaboration, as well has the leadership qualities of influencing decisions with sound first principles logic.
