Mobile Engineer (SDE 3)

WHO WE ARE

Lumos Labs is the world leader in brain training. Since 2007, over 100 million people have used the Lumosity brain training program to train and improve their cognitive skills. Designed like a gym for your brain, Lumosity offers daily workouts that draw from a library of over 40 games targeting cognitive areas, including Memory, Attention, Flexibility, Information Processing Speed, and Reasoning. Lumosity is available on the web and as mobile apps (iOS and Android).

Today, our vision has expanded to the exciting new frontier of digital medicine. We are applying Lumosity technology and science—including an unprecedented data set and over 100 peer-reviewed research articles—to explore and develop digital programs to treat, monitor, or rehabilitate those with cognitive and neurological conditions. We are nearing the completion of clinical trials for our first digital therapeutic product, which targets adult ADHD.

We are working toward several major product and business milestones in 2024 that will spark company growth:

- Completion of an entire rebuild and relaunch of Lumosity on a new tech stack

- Regulatory clearance and commercial launch of our digital therapeutic for ADHD

- A rebuild and extension of our research platform, which supports internal research as well as dozens of ongoing research studies from academia and industry

Lumos Labs is headquartered in San Francisco, California, with remote colleagues country- and world-wide.

We are creating a new team in India to extend our product development capabilities, helping us hit our upcoming milestones and capitalize on the growth opportunities they will unlock. 

The India team will initially extend the engineering and marketing capabilities of the US-based team as we work toward the rebuild and relaunch of Lumosity. The team will rapidly grow into a cross-functional product development hub that can drive business-critical pieces of our consumer, medical, and research roadmaps. In the longer term, there may be an opportunity to add functions beyond product development.
