About the Role
This is an early-stage opportunity to help build a new category of software at the intersection of AI, robotics, and physical laboratory systems. You will own critical infrastructure spanning experiment orchestration, agent connectivity, and distributed coordination, and will have a direct hand in shaping the technical foundation of the product from day one.
What You'll Do
-
Build experiment orchestration systems that schedule and coordinate work across distributed lab environments.
-
Connect AI agents to real-world experiments and instruments through robust, reliable agent infrastructure.
-
Design and implement data infrastructure to capture state, actions, measurements, failures, and provenance.
-
Architect distributed systems that reliably coordinate software, devices, and experiments at scale.
-
Develop developer tooling and APIs to accelerate new workflows and integrations.
-
Debug and optimize across the full stack, from software through to hardware and physical systems.
What We're Looking For
-
3 or more years building production-grade software systems end-to-end.
-
Strong proficiency in Rust or TypeScript.
-
Deep understanding of distributed systems, APIs, networking, and asynchronous programming.
-
Demonstrated experience designing data infrastructure that captures state, events, and provenance at scale.
-
Experience building orchestration or scheduling systems that coordinate multiple concurrent processes or devices.
-
Experience debugging and integrating across hardware, firmware, and software layers in production systems.
-
Experience building developer tooling, SDKs, or APIs for integration workflows.
-
High agency and comfort operating in ambiguous, fast-moving early-stage environments.
-
Experience with robotics, hardware integration, lab automation, embedded systems, or ML infrastructure is a strong plus.
