Senior Software Engineer (Backend) - STDV

We Are:

Strateos has developed the first robotic cloud laboratory platform for on-demand life science research by integrating laboratory processes, instruments and IoT technologies into a single user interface. Top ten pharmaceutical companies and emerging biotech companies use the platform to conduct efficient, reproducible and rapid experimentation from anywhere in the world. Most recently Strateos has been selected to partner with Eli Lilly to develop and operate an 11,500 square ft fully automated compound synthesis and bioassay system.

Our Team:

Our team charter is to build quality software solutions which enable scientists to capture and retrieve experimental scientific intent; creating an idea to data pipeline. We are looking to add experienced software engineers who want to build the future of scientific discovery. We joined this company to fundamentally change the landscape of scientific research and want to work with people who appreciate this mission. Our team focuses on building applications, services, and features that provide users a mechanism to achieve reproducible and scalable experimental execution on the Strateos platform. This includes building an intuitive graphical interface, capturing and tracking critical scientific intent from our users, translating this intent into executable code for robotics, and returning meaningful data to our users. We have a broad technology stack, utilizing multiple languages (Python, Ruby, Java, Scala) and frameworks (Rails, Spring, Node.js).
