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 software engineer, you'll help them build the their product, architect our technical strategy, and leave your mark on the company, as well as the biotech industry and broader sciences. You'll wear many hats:
Span the stack, from frontend, backend, cloud infra, data infra, to maybe some direct work with biotech hardware too! (No experience needed in hardware or frontend - just a willingness to learn what it takes in a rapidly evolving startup environment)
Day-to-day work will be a combination of scrappy implementation to maintain our pace, and careful strategic planning to avoid and reduce tech debt in the future.
You'll play an important client-facing role with our founding customers as we prioritize our roadmap and scope out the exact details of our releases. In a technical environment like theirs, engineering and product are inseparable
You'll also be a key determinant of our culture, and will help us grow and set norms for the business as we scale
