CypherBio AI - Senior Software Engineer

Connecticut Innovations is Connecticut’s strategic venture capital arm, passionate about serving its portfolio of companies. They are seeking a Senior Software Engineer to build AI-native infrastructure for life science R&D, focusing on developing production-grade lab software and improving engineering standards.

Responsibilities:

• Design and ship end-to-end features across our Node/React stack and AI agent layer
• Take ownership of meaty problems — LIMS data models, agent tool execution, multi-tenant infrastructure — and see them through to production
• Raise the engineering bar: testing patterns, code review, on-call quality
• Work directly with customers and founders to turn fuzzy problems into shippable software

Requirements:

• 7+ years building and operating production software; comfort across the stack
• You lead, collaborate, and consistently deliver compelling and innovative solutions
• Strong backend foundations (Node, MongoDB or similar, AWS) and willingness to own UI work too
• You orchestrate AI agents to produce code that other engineers — and other agents — can easily work with; you debug things others would give up on
• Experience shipping AI / LLM-powered features in production is a strong plus
• Bonus: prior work in lab software, scientific data, or bioinformatics
