Join an early-stage AI and robotics company building software that connects AI agents with real-world laboratory systems. You will own core infrastructure for coordinating experiments, devices, and distributed workflows, helping establish a new category of software for physical systems.

What You'll Do

* Build orchestration systems that schedule and coordinate experiments across distributed labs.

* Develop robust infrastructure connecting AI agents with experiments and laboratory instruments.

* Design data systems that capture state, actions, measurements, failures, and provenance.

* Architect distributed systems that coordinate software, devices, and experiments reliably.

* Create developer tools and APIs for new workflows and integrations.

* Debug and optimize systems across software, hardware, and physical environments.

What We're Looking For

* At least 3 years of professional experience building production-grade software systems end to end.

* Strong proficiency in Python or Rust, with a track record of building production backend or distributed systems.

* Experience designing distributed systems involving APIs, networking, and asynchronous communication.

* Early-stage startup engineering experience and the ability to take ownership in an ambiguous environment.

* Systems-level debugging skills, ideally across hardware, firmware, and software.

* Experience with robotics, physical AI, agent systems, lab automation, ML infrastructure, data infrastructure, orchestration, or developer tooling is beneficial.

* No biology experience is required.
