Requirements and responsibilities
About the roleHelp build the software platform that enables scientists to design and engineer living systems the same way engineers build modern software. The company is developing a synthetic biology platform that allows scientists to design, simulate, and debug genetic systems at scale, combining biology, software engineering, and advanced computation to accelerate next-generation therapeutics. The team is building tools that transform biological engineering into a true engineering discipline. They are now hiring a Staff Software Engineer to help architect the core platform used by scientists and researchers to design complex biological systems.You will play a key role in designing and evolving a platform used by bioengineers to design, search, and analyze genetic constructs. This is a highly technical role with significant architectural ownership. You will collaborate closely with synthetic biologists, computational scientists, and product teams to build systems that model complex biological data and workflows. The platform handles highly structured scientific data and requires thoughtful API design, scalable architecture, and robust backend systems.What You’ll DoDesign and implement backend architecture that will shape the platform for yearsBuild GraphQL APIs for querying and analyzing genetic construct dataDevelop services using Python, SQLAlchemy, and modern backend frameworksArchitect complex data models representing biological systemsCollaborate directly with scientists to understand workflows and translate them into software toolsDesign systems that scale as usage and data volume grow significantlyParticipate in on-call rotation and support production systemsWhat They’re Looking For10+ years building production-grade software systemsDeep expertise in PythonExperience designing APIs (GraphQL preferred)Strong experience designing scalable backend architecturesExperience modeling complex data systems and relational databasesAbility to make long-term architectural decisionsComfort working in highly ambiguous, first-of-its-kind product environmentsStrong collaboration skills across technical and scientific teamsNice to have:Experience with GraphQL frameworks such as StrawberryExperience with SQLAlchemy or similar ORM toolsExperience working with scientific, research, or highly complex datasetsWhy This Role Stands OutWork on software that accelerates next-generation therapeuticsArchitect a platform used by scientists designing living systemsHigh ownership and influence over system architectureDeep technical challenges involving complex biological data modelsWork at the intersection of biology, software engineering, and AI-driven researchIf you enjoy designing systems from first principles and want your work to influence the future of biotechnology, this is a rare opportunity.
