3+ YearsWhat We're Seeking

We're looking for a versatile and experienced software engineer to lead the development of our web-based application that allows customers to collect R&D data and query our AI models to simulate lab experiments and create entire optimized formulas. You will work directly with the founders and a small team of engineers, and as the very first employee, you will have tremendous say and impact on the direction and prospects of our company.‍ What You'll Be Doing

Taking ownership of full stack development and working alongside other engineers on web applications (end-to-end experience with React.js and Node.js preferred, though we welcome anyone with interest in learning new tech stacks)

Establishing continuous deployment of automated build, test, and release pipelines

Writing clean, testable, scalable, efficient, and well-documented code in an agile environment (JavaScript, Python, SQL, C#, etc.)

Contributing to product road-mapping alongside the founding team and prioritizing features according to customer needs

Taking on an entrepreneurial mentality to independently identify and pursue opportunities for the organization

Your Existing Skills

You have high levels of self-awareness and empathy combined with a strong work ethic

You are a curious person with a strong desire to grow. You are passionate about solving complex problems in a rapidly changing environment and have an interest in keeping up with emerging technologies

You have made major contributions to full-stack engineering projects, preferably having started from scratch and worked through all phases of product development, from planning and design to execution and release

You are highly self-directed and resourceful, with experience working on collaborative teams and translating technical language and concepts to non-technical people

You have hands-on experience working with automated release pipelines (bonus for an AI/ML environment)

You have the ability to design and implement automated testing to ensure the production of robust code (CI/CD, Gitlab, Github, Docker, Kubernetes, etc.)

You are proficient in server-side code and the design of web applications (e.g., APIs, source system extraction, deserialization, microservices, etc.)

You exhibit a willingness to test, learn, and iterate by validating new features and quickly moving on if they don't work

Bonus points

You have experience or interest in chemistry, AI, enterprise SaaS, or an end market in which we operate (e.g., beauty)

You value design and would enjoy building a web application that has the complexity of enterprise software combined with the user experience of best-in-class consumer products

You have been in a "tech lead" position in the past and have experience with hiring & management of engineers

You have experience in or exposure to ML engineering

You have experience interfacing and collaborating with B2B clients and have a desire to continue doing so

You have opinions on company culture!
