Researcher, Consciousness and Connectomics

About Limitless 👋

At Limitless, our vision is to free the human mind from its biological limitations. We are starting with memory. 90% of memories are forgotten after just a week. Not only that, but our memory gets worse as we get older. If there is a hearing aid for hearing and glasses for vision then why isn’t there the equivalent for memory? That question is why we started the company. We build software and hardware to capture what you see, say, and hear and make it useful.

The products we have today are just the first step toward our audacious vision.

We have raised over $33m from top-tier investors including Sam Altman, First Round Capital, Andreessen Horowitz, and NEA to help make that vision a reality.

Why Limitless 👀

The work you’ll do will have a tremendous impact on not just our company, but on society as a whole. We believe the best version of the future is one in which we augment - not replace - human intelligence with artificial intelligence. This is the key to unlocking humanity’s full potential, and you will play a critical role in helping us get there. Join us.

Why we need you ✨

• At Limitless, we’re building AI that understands you as a whole person: across what you see, say, and hear. To do that, we need to go deeper than just perceptual inputs. We’re looking for a researcher obsessed with the mysteries of the human mind: someone who lives at the intersection of neuroscience, connectomics, and AI. Your work won’t be speculative or siloed. You’ll help us ground our products in the most advanced understanding of consciousness, attention, and the self. If you’ve ever asked, “What would it take for a machine to feel real?”...this is your lab.

What will be your responsibilities 📓

• Connectome-Inspired Research: Lead explorations at the intersection of brain architecture and machine systems. Translate insights from human and animal connectomes into principles that inform our AI’s memory, attention, and sense of self.

• Applied Consciousness Modeling: Help define and test hypotheses about what it means for a system to be “aware” of its inputs, past interactions, and internal states. Contribute to building models that mimic or approximate aspects of human-like consciousness.

• Research-Driven Prototyping: Design experiments that push the boundaries of applied neuroscience in AI. Collaborate on prototypes that make these ideas real, usable, and testable in our product ecosystem.

What will help you be successful 👏

• Background in Neuroscience, Connectomics, or Cognitive Science: You’ve worked with large-scale brain data, neural circuit mapping, or computational models of cognition. You think in networks, not just neurons.

• Translational Instincts: You can bridge theory and practice. You don’t just want to understand consciousness: you want to help build systems that exhibit its traits in a real and useful way.

• Startup Mindset: You’re energized by ownership, speed, ambiguity, and impact; not by long roadmaps and red tape.

What cultural values you need to embody 💥

✅ Decisive: Bias for action and learning.

🧠 Resourceful: Prioritize well in order to maximize impact with the least effort.

📈 Craft: Good judgment & consideration when deciding something is done enough

✋ Candor: Give candid feedback, receive it well, and speak up if you disagree

🗣️ Communication: Be transparent, create clarity out of ambiguity, and do it with zest

🙏 Collaboration: Help each other out, have empathy, and listen well.

Internally we aren't fixated on titles & levels since that can lead to needless hierarchy that distracts from the team's collective success. If you're interested in this job, we strongly encourage you to apply: we'd love to see you on our team working toward our audacious vision of freeing the mind from its biological limitations.
