Lead development and optimization of our SaaS using the PETAL stack (Phoenix, Elixir, TailwindCSS, Alpine.js, LiveView).

Engineer core functionality for concepts like ‘one-click assays’ and a ‘visual pipeline builder’.

Collaborate closely with scientists and designers to turn deep user research and complex requirements into robust, scalable solutions.

Design and implement secure, maintainable Elixir/OTP systems for complex data, real-time interactions, and long‑running workflows.

Champion technical excellence: best practices for Elixir and LiveView, thoughtful code reviews, mentoring, and performance/reliability focus.

Build backend services that power interactive, publication‑ready graphs and shareable datasets to compress time from experiment to insight.

Example projects: Architect backend + LiveView interactions for a researcher’s co‑pilot; build GenServers and real‑time components for a drag‑and‑drop workflow builder; develop infrastructure for sharing dynamic, re‑analyzable datasets; scale data ingestion and processing pipelines.

Proven experience building and shipping complex PETAL stack applications (Elixir/Phoenix/LiveView).
Deep Elixir/OTP knowledge with strong grasp of concurrency, supervision, and system reliability.
Systems thinking with a long‑term architectural mindset for scalability and maintainability.
User‑centric engineering: strong product sense; comfortable collaborating closely with product/design.
Excellence in code quality: testing, performance profiling, observability, and rigorous reviews.
Advanced degree in CS/Applied Physics/Mathematics/Bioinformatics or equivalent experience (nice‑to‑have, not required).
Genuine passion for accelerating science and solving problems that matter.
Interest or experience in biomedicine, bioimaging, computational biology, or life sciences; fast learner in new domains.
