Software Engineer, Full Stack – Registry and Inventory

Role Overview

• Drive complex, end-to-end projects: Lead the design, implementation, and delivery of high-impact features and systems across the stack (React + Python). Translate product requirements into scalable architecture and thoughtful user experiences, while proactively identifying risks and tradeoffs.
• Shape technical direction and architecture: Make foundational engineering decisions that improve system performance, reliability, and scalability. Collaborate with other senior engineers to evolve our platform and influence long-term technical strategy. Collaborate cross-functionally: Work closely with product managers, designers, customer success, and other engineering teams to create clarity and ensure alignment on goals, seamless handoffs, and shared understanding of scientific user needs.
• Identify and address technical debt: Own proactive improvements to the codebase and infrastructure. Refactor critical systems for maintainability and performance, and champion investments that improve long-term developer velocity.
• Design for performance and scale: Build systems that can handle the complexity and scale of life sciences R&D. Optimize backend performance, frontend responsiveness, and system reliability.
• Mentor and support other engineers: Act as a technical mentor and sounding board for other engineers. Help grow the team’s technical skills through guidance, pairing, and knowledge sharing. Be a force multiplier for the team.
• Elevate code quality and engineering practices: Set high standards for code quality, testing, documentation, and operational excellence. Lead by example, perform thorough code reviews, and help raise the bar across the team.
• Embrace ambiguity and domain complexity: Operate effectively in a fast-paced environment with evolving scientific requirements. Rapidly learn new technologies and help the team do the same.
