We’re looking for a software engineer to join us in inventing a new, better way to do science. You’ll build novel research tools that will transform how scientific discoveries are made for decades to come.
Your work might include:
You’re likely a good fit if:
Our goal is to achieve 100 years of scientific progress in the next 10 years. The first step in our journey is to build the best tool for industry researchers and graduate students, using a combination of inventive research, design and engineering.
In two years, we’ve grown to millions of users across the world’s most ambitious academic labs and R&D teams, we are fast approaching $10M in yearly revenue, and we raised $3M from Y Combinator and the founders of GitHub and Reddit.
We're a small, tight-knit team of 10 people with huge ambitions. As a founding member, you'll be instrumental in helping us scale revenue from $10M to $100M and then $100M to $1B+.
If you’re excited by the idea of being a part of that, definitely apply.
This is an in-person opportunity in San Francisco.
We’re more than happy to sponsor visas. If we make you an offer, we'll work with an immigration attorney to make sure everything goes smoothly.
We offer premium healthcare (medical, dental, etc.), flexible working hours and office space with a beautiful view of the San Francisco marina and Golden Gate bridge.
