About the Role

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 experiment orchestration, agent connectivity, and coordination across software and physical systems.

What You'll Do

  • Build systems to schedule and coordinate experiments across distributed laboratory environments.
  • Connect AI agents to experiments and instruments through reliable infrastructure.
  • Develop data systems that capture system state, actions, measurements, failures, and provenance.
  • Design distributed systems that coordinate software, devices, and experiments reliably.
  • Create developer tools and APIs for new workflows and integrations.
  • Debug and optimize across software, hardware, and physical systems.

What We're Looking For

  • At least 3 years of experience building production-grade software systems end to end.
  • Strong proficiency in Python or Rust, with solid engineering fundamentals.
  • Experience designing distributed systems, APIs, networking, and asynchronous communication patterns.
  • Experience building software at an early-stage startup and taking ownership in an ambiguous environment.
  • Background in robotics, physical AI, hardware integration, lab automation, embedded systems, AI agents, or ML infrastructure is valuable.
  • Ability to integrate and debug across hardware, firmware, and software layers.
  • Biology experience is not required.
