This company is building AWS for the sciences, with a mission of improving the world through better healthcare outcomes. They believe that the highest leverage approach to speed up science is through better software and data connectivity.
As a customer solutions engineer (CSE), you'll work directly with client-side scientists and engineers to understand their most important problems and automate them away using their platform. You’ll be the tip of the spear of our efforts to accelerate science, and will have a highly independent and varied role in owning the implementation and success of the company. You will apply your problem-solving, creativity, and technical skills to derive and implement solutions to drive real-world impact.
CSEs are effectively CTOs for clients’ this company builds; you’ll have substantial autonomy to execute projects end-to-end. This company forms the core data backbone of labs and scientific manufacturing, so you’ll wear many hats:
Client Owner: own implementation by working with client executives and users to define and prioritize problems, building a deep understanding of their lab instruments and scientific analysis, and then configuring the company's platform setup and low-code pipelines to automate these details. You’ll be the expert on your clients’ scientific data, processes, and operations.
Software Engineer: You’ll help define the architecture needed for the company's core platform with fellow engineers, integrate our web backend and infra into client systems, and develop applications to interact with biotech lab instrument hardware.
Culture Carrier: You'll also be a key determinant of our culture, and will help us grow and set norms for the business as we scale.
