San Francisco | Full-time
Soma is a neurotechnology company building the world’s first software brain computer interface. Our cognitive fitness platform (think Strava for the brain) surfaces trends and insights on mental clarity, cognitive load, stress, and more. Our mission is simple & ambitious: to make brain health accessible, measurable, and actionable.
We’re a small but world-class team backed by investors in Oura, Canva, Coinbase, SpaceX and others when they were our size and stage. We're looking for a Head of Engineering to help driv technical roadmap and scale the team that will enable a new frontier for health and performance.
About the role
This is Soma's first dedicated design hire. You won't be inheriting a design system or style guide - you'll be building them. You'll work directly with our Founder to own the full design surface: from early concept exploration through shipped product.
We're building something genuinely new: an ambient product category that doesn't have a design language yet. We want someone who has strong opinions about what should be built, can stress-test those ideas with real users, and can ship something that holds up in production.
Ideal qualifications
The kind of person we're looking for: a bit of a mad artist. Someone who takes risks, challenges conventions, and brings a multidisciplinary perspective. Deeply curious. The kind of designer who pushes back when something feels wrong.
Nice to haves
