About the Role
This is a founding engineering role at an early-stage AI/ML infrastructure company building software that connects AI agents to real-world laboratory systems. You will own critical infrastructure across experiment orchestration, agent connectivity, and distributed coordination, working at the intersection of software, robotics, and physical systems.
What You'll Do
-
Build experiment orchestration systems that schedule and coordinate experiments across distributed labs.
-
Connect AI agents to real-world experiments and instruments through robust 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 to hardware to physical systems.
What We're Looking For
-
3 or more years building complex, production-grade software systems end-to-end.
-
Strong proficiency in Rust or TypeScript (Python experience is also valued).
-
Deep understanding of distributed systems, APIs, networking, and asynchronous programming.
-
Experience designing and implementing systems with asynchronous communication patterns.
-
Prior experience as an engineer at an early-stage startup, with high agency in ambiguous environments.
-
Comfort bridging physical systems and software, with the ability to debug across the full stack.
-
Experience with robotics, hardware integration, lab automation, embedded systems, or ML infrastructure is a strong plus.
-
Experience building developer tooling, SDKs, or APIs for integration workflows is a plus.
-
No biology background required.
