Security Platform Engineer

Join us, and you’ll unleash scientists, accelerate their research and help get cures to patients sooner. We’ve developed machines to fully automate human cell production - the most manual process in Biotech. We are live in multibillion dollar biotechs on both coasts of the US, and raised $19m to expand into the market faster, and accelerate our development! Next year, neurons grown on our machines will be going into Parkinson patient brains.

As a Senior Software Engineer focused on Platform & Security, you will take a leading role in evolving and maturing our security and compliance posture while building robust infrastructure for our cell manufacturing platform. You will:

• Represent Mytos to customers' executive, security, and quality teams, effectively communicating our approach to security, compliance and risk management.
• Own Mytos' information security program, developing automated testing and validation strategies that build quality into our development process rather than bolting it on afterward.
• Streamline our deployment processes enabling both rapid development and stable validated environments for manufacturing customers.
• Implement and improve security practices, including code scanning, access controls, and audit logging, ensuring compliance with industry standards.
• Build core product features like electronic signatures, audit logging, and data traceability for customers based on your own user research.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to build a Quality Management System that aligns with regulatory requirements whilst preserving our engineering culture.
• Develop core architecture improvements for system reliability, database performance, API security, and distributed system design.
• Mentor the team on security and quality best practices, helping to build a culture where compliance is a natural outcome of good engineering.

Experience required:

• Experience with cloud infrastructure and DevOps practices (AWS preferred).
• Experience implementing and maintaining security controls and compliance frameworks.
• Strong fundamentals in API design, databases, networks, and distributed systems.
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines and automated testing.
• TypeScript and Node.js proficiency in production environments.
• Understanding of security principles and experience implementing them in production systems.
• Implementation or maintenance of ISO 27001, ISO 9001, SOC 2, or similar frameworks.
• Quality systems implementation: Experience building automated quality checks, validation frameworks, or similar systems.
• Understanding of hardware-software integration.
• Experience with Python for tooling or data processing.
• Experience with database performance optimisation and data integrity enforcement.

Growth: We are solving complex problems at the intersection of software, hardware, and biology—you will constantly learn and develop new skills.

We offer a competitive salary with stock options, lunch covered daily in-office with the team, 32 days holiday (bank holidays, end-of-year closure, and 21 days discretionary PTO), pension, and an awesome office in the Imperial College Innovation hub in White City, where you will be based.

We are building a team that enjoys moving fast, strives for continuous improvement through learning from mistakes, and is passionate about work that contributes to solving real world problems. If you are excited about solving interesting problems at the intersection of software, hardware, and biology while helping us prepare for the next phase of our growth, we want to hear from you!
