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

What We're Looking For

Three or more years of experience building production-grade software systems end to end.

Strong proficiency in Python or Rust, with familiarity across Rust or TypeScript systems development.

Experience designing distributed systems, APIs, networking, and asynchronous communication patterns.

Experience as an engineer in an early-stage startup and comfort taking ownership in ambiguous environments.

Background in robotics, hardware integration, lab automation, embedded systems, AI agents, or ML infrastructure is valuable.

Ability to debug across hardware, firmware, and software layers is a plus. Biology experience is not required.
