Asimov
Senior Backend Engineer, Kernel (Boulder)
Asimov, Boulder, Colorado, United States, 80301
Our mission at Asimov is to advance humanity's ability to design living systems, enabling biotechnologies with outsized benefit to society. We're developing a mammalian synthetic biology platform––from cells to software––to enable the design and manufacture of next-generation therapeutics.We are looking for an experienced engineer with expertise in shipping and scaling backend services. At Asimov, we are creating a state-of-the-art platform to program living cells, named Kernel, that allows bioengineers to design, build, and debug genetic systems at scale.You will be part of an interdisciplinary team that works directly with our internal group of scientists, synthetic biologists, and computational biologists as well as your teammates in software engineering and product.What You’ll Do:
Design, build, and maintain software tools that are used by bioengineers to advance the design and manufacture of biologics and gene therapiesDirectly shape the software architecture and be involved in the long-term product directionWork with a modern backend stack (Python 3, Strawberry, SQLAlchemy)Develop data models and schemas for the complex domain of biologyBe part of an on-call rotation to support the software you’ve helped developInterface directly with members of the synthetic biology team to identify and prioritize improvements to software systemsContribute to Asimov’s technology platform, direction, and cultureWhat You’ll Bring:
A sense of urgency, a strong work ethic, and a desire to ship challenging technical productsThe ability to navigate the ambiguity of building something that is first-of-its-kindMultiple years of experience building and scaling systems to production-level workloadsSound technical judgement that considers quality, performance, and product stagePassion for joining an early stage startup where autonomy, passion to learn, and excitement to engineer biology take precedence over process and egoThe ability to regularly work from our Boulder officeThe base salary range for this role starts at $160,000/year.We're fueled by a vision to transform biological engineering into a fully-fledged engineering discipline. Should you join our team, you will grow with a constantly evolving organization and push the frontiers of synthetic biology. Company culture is key to Asimov, and ours is a culture of recombination; we believe that our mission can only be achieved by bringing together a diverse team with a mixture of backgrounds and perspectives.
