Paradromics is bringing to market the first high-bandwidth data interface between brains and computers. We envision a future where data is medicine and some of the hardest challenges in physical and mental health have been reframed as technical problems with clear solutions. By allowing direct readout and modulation of neural activity, brain computer interfaces (BCI) will act like a modem for the brain, allowing it to connect with restorative digital systems. Our first product will be an Assistive Communication Device for patients with severe combined speech and motor deficits as a result of paralysis.

We are seeking dynamic, curious, and driven individuals to join our Austin-based team. We offer a competitive compensation package with stock options, flexible PTO, and a friendly working environment.
