### About the Role
Join an early-stage AI company building software that connects AI agents with real-world laboratory systems. You will own critical infrastructure for coordinating experiments, connecting agents and instruments, and capturing reliable data across physical and software systems.
### What You'll Do
* Build systems that schedule and coordinate experiments across distributed laboratories.
* Connect AI agents to experiments and instruments through robust agent infrastructure.
* Design data infrastructure to capture system state, actions, measurements, failures, and provenance.
* Architect distributed systems that reliably coordinate software, devices, and experiments.
* Develop APIs and developer tools for new workflows and integrations.
* Debug and optimize systems across software, hardware, and physical environments.
### What We're Looking For
* At least 3 years of experience building production-grade software systems end to end.
* Strong proficiency in Python or Rust, with solid software engineering fundamentals.
* Production backend or distributed-systems experience, including APIs, networking, and asynchronous communication.
* Experience building software as an engineer at an early-stage startup.
* Ability to take ownership in ambiguous environments and debug across software and hardware layers.
* Experience with robotics, physical AI, hardware integration, lab automation, embedded systems, ML infrastructure, data infrastructure, or orchestration systems is a plus. Biology experience is not required.
