The Opportunity
We're looking for a full-stack engineer who can build applications end to end and bring our software together into one cohesive system.
This is a broad, hands-on role. You'll develop user interfaces, write Python across the stack, and integrate the various tools, services, and components we rely on into a single, well-structured platform. If you like owning problems from front end to back end and enjoy being the person who makes the pieces work together, you'll like it here.
### Key Responsibilities
Design, build, and ship applications and user interfaces across desktop, web, or mobile
Develop and maintain backend services, APIs, and internal tooling in Python
Integrate separate systems, services, and components into one unified, well-structured platform
Build data pipelines and handle data flowing between our software and hardware
Take features from concept through design, implementation, testing, and deployment
Write tests and contribute to code quality, reliability, and performance across the stack
Troubleshoot and resolve issues spanning the front end, back end, and integration layers
Document systems and workflows so the codebase stays maintainable as we scale
Partner with hardware, research, and product to turn early prototypes into usable software
Help set engineering patterns, standards, and best practices as the team grows
### What You'll Bring
Strong Python and solid experience building full-stack applications
Front-end and UI development experience
Experience integrating multiple systems or services through APIs
Self-directed and comfortable with ambiguity in an early-stage environment
Excellent communication skills, with the ability to partner across scientific, engineering, and business teams.
Startup mindset — adaptable, resourceful, hands-on, and highly execution-focused.
