- Create developer tools and APIs for new workflows and integrations.
- Debug and optimize systems across software, hardware, and physical environments.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
- At least 3 years of professional experience building production-grade software systems end to end.
- Strong proficiency in Python or Rust, with a track record of building production backend or distributed systems.
- Experience designing distributed systems involving APIs, networking, and asynchronous communication.
- Early-stage startup engineering experience and the ability to take ownership in an ambiguous environment.
- Systems-level debugging skills, ideally across hardware, firmware, and software.
- Experience with robotics, physical AI, agent systems, lab automation, ML infrastructure, data infrastructure, orchestration, or developer tooling is beneficial.
- No biology experience is required.

About this listing
Published on Ashby under the board identifier Clera, which is the name the employer’s own job board carries. RoleSprint has not verified the company’s registered or trading name, so it is shown exactly as published rather than tidied up.
RoleSprint is not the employer and not a recruiter. Applications are made on the employer’s own site and never reach us; what RoleSprint does is help you decide whether a role is worth your time and prepare for it if it is.
