Senior Software Engineer - hybrid working (Permanent)

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 full-stack product development, you will build the critical interfaces and systems that enable scientists to work with our cell manufacturing platform. You will create intuitive, reliable software that abstracts away complexity while giving users powerful tools to customise and monitor cell growth protocols. Your work will directly impact how quickly and effectively new therapies and research tools can be developed, ultimately helping patients worldwide.

• Work directly with customers to translate their scientific workflows into reliable, flexible and simple software solutions.
• Own and deliver end-to-end product functionality spanning experiment scheduling, automated image analysis, and remote operation of our devices.
• Develop and improve our frontend applications using TypeScript, React, and GraphQL to create intuitive interfaces for complex biological workflows.
• Build backend services that communicate with our hardware systems and ensure data integrity throughout the cell manufacturing process.
• Collaborate across disciplines with hardware engineers, biologists, and commercial teams to build reliable and effective systems in record time.
• Leverage tooling and automated testing to deliver quality software at speed.
• Contribute to the core architecture of our systems, improving database performance, data integrity, API design, and distributed system reliability.

Your experience with software resilience will help us build systems that gracefully handle unexpected scenarios.

• Strong experience with full-stack web development using TypeScript or other typed languages.
• Experience with modern frontend frameworks (React preferred).
• Understanding of distributed systems concepts — if you’ve built reliable microservices or dealt with API synchronisation, you already have relevant experience.
• Experience working with databases (PostgreSQL and Prisma or similar ORM experience ideal).
• Experience working with complex data and creating intuitive interfaces to manage it.
• If you’ve worked with systems running at different deployment/update schedules, data migrations for historical data, multiple-environments architectures for regulatory compliance, we want to hear from you!
• If you’ve designed state machines or worked with data pipelines, these skills are relevant.
• Experience with Python for data processing or image analysis.
• Background or interest in biology, lab automation, or scientific instrumentation.
• Experience working with or building distributed systems.
• Experience with UI/product design processes and tools (wireframes, mockups, looks-like prototypes, etc.).

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

• Competitive salary with stock options.
• Lunch covered daily in-office with team.
• 32 days holiday (bank holidays, end-of-year closure, and 21 days discretionary PTO).
• Pension.
• Awesome colleagues and an 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!
