About the Role
We are seeking a generalist software engineer to build experimental applications and workflows in close partnership with our SDK engineer. You will translate instrument APIs into user-configurable software and contribute to various parts of the technology stack, including APIs, data integration, testing, and deployment improvements. This role offers clear project ownership and support for developing broad system knowledge.
Responsibilities
- Build applications and interactive tools for configuring experiments, monitoring execution, visualizing results and capturing metadata.
- Pair directly with the SDK engineer to integrate instrument capabilities and improve the interfaces that applications and scripts share.
- Keep reusable experiment logic separate from presentation code so workflows can support both interactive use and automation.
- Implement practical failure handling, cancellation, recovery, logging and testing.
- Connect application outputs to data services with clear metadata and version information.
- Contribute to backend services, data integration, developer tooling, CI, packaging and other parts of the stack as priorities require.
- Diagnose problems beyond the UI and work with specialists on performance, concurrency, native code or hardware interfaces.
- Work directly with scientists and engineers to understand a workflow, ship a useful first version and improve it through use.
- Own your changes through review, release, documentation and follow-up.
Requirements
- Strong coding and debugging fundamentals and examples of software you completed and helped others use.
- Experience building applications, services or tools, with the curiosity to understand how the adjacent layers work.
- Comfort using APIs, writing tests and collaborating through version control and code review.
- A practical approach to learning unfamiliar systems and asking for help early.
- Care for clear user workflows, trustworthy data and understandable failure behavior.
- Interest in broad startup responsibilities alongside concrete, achievable project ownership.
