Beacon Biosignals is transforming precision medicine for the brain through at-home EEG platforms for clinical development and diagnostics. The company combines EEG and cardiopulmonary signals to deliver reimbursable assessments for sleep and central nervous system disorders.
The Datastore team sits at the heart of Beacon's platform, defining the foundational data model and serving as the centralized repository and API for brain data collected from clinical studies. This Senior Software Engineer role focuses on designing and scaling backend systems for data infrastructure, including PostgreSQL data models, Kafka-driven event pipelines, and a GraphQL API that enables scientific and clinical data use.
Key responsibilities include leading the design and integration of new services and components for data and event processing, owning pipelines that deliver dataset snapshots into the data warehouse, and collaborating with platform and application teams to implement APIs that unlock new workflows across Beacon's expanding portfolio of clinical studies and digital health products. You will write SQL by hand and reason about schema design, indexes, and query behavior as a matter of course.
Success means partnering with product managers, scientific and clinical stakeholders, and development teams to translate requirements into scalable solutions. You'll implement features with attention to data integrity, design soundness, and maintainability. You'll draft RFCs to lead complex technical design phases, hold a high bar for correctness when data moves between systems (completeness, idempotency, predictable behavior under partial failure), and leverage feedback to improve operational robustness through documentation, tools, and dashboards.
Beacon maintains robust asynchronous work practices for a first-class remote experience, with in-person office hubs in Boston, New York, and Paris. This role is fully remote, working anywhere in the US.
