About the Role

As a Senior Staff Instrument Software Engineer, you will architect, design, and implement high-performance software for electrochemical CMOS based DNA synthesis instrumentation. You will also support the development of new electronic gene sequencing hardware, tightly integrated with back-end web services and bioinformatics pipelines.

Responsibilities

• Developing high-performance systems capable of handling very large data payloads while ensuring end-to-end data integrity.
• Developing software running our highly custom DNA data storage platform.
• Working closely with hardware, electrical and chemistry teams to define requirements and specifications.
• Architecting and implementing using languages such as C, C++ or Rust.
• Applying expertise in Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOS) to inform architectural decisions that meet strict timing and reliability requirements for hardware control.

Requirements

• BS in Computer Science or related technical field.
• Proficiency in C# and/or C++.
• 6+ years industry experience.
• Mastery of object oriented programming concepts and clean software architecture design.
• Familiarity with hardware integration, system bring-up and validation.
• Ability to take a hands-on approach to software and hardware development.
• Experience with Git or similar version control systems.
• 10+ years of professional software development experience, with significant experience in a Staff-level or equivalent senior technical leadership role.
• Expertise in broad set of languages such as C, C++, rust, typescript or python.
• Deep, demonstrable understanding of memory management and allocation strategies across multiple languages and runtimes.
• Proven ability to write performant, low-latency, and highly optimized code, particularly when dealing with very large data payloads (multi-gigabyte to terabyte scale).
• Experience designing and implementing firmware and working with high-speed buses (SPI, 1G/10G Ethernet, USB…)
• Knowledge of Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOS) and their implications on system architecture and design.
• Prior experience working directly with hardware development, bring-up, and troubleshooting.
• Front-end development (typescript, React or similar frameworks).
• Understanding of FPGA and ASIC integration.
• Familiarity with data storage technologies.
• Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) for data storage and deployment infrastructure.
• Image processing experience.
• Master's or PhD in Computer Science or related technical field.
• Electrical and mechanical engineering experience is a big plus.
• Experience with the latest .NET is a plus.
• WPF experience is a big plus, and an eye for clean UI design is greatly appreciated.
• Interest and ability to learn other programming languages as needed.
