You rarely get the chance to change an entire industry. But that's the position we find ourselves in. Join us, and you’ll unleash scientists, accelerate their research and help get cures to patients sooner.
We’ve developed machines to fully automate human cell production - the most manual process in Biotech. Cells are used to discover and develop new drugs, and now they're being used to cure diseases like Parkinson’s and age-related blindness. Mytos will impact cure development across the board.
We're live in multibillion dollar biotechs on both coasts of the US, and raised $19m to expand into the market faster, and accelerate our development! Next year, neurons grown on our machines will be going into Parkinson patient brains.
We’ve assembled a world-class team to take on this challenge, with ex-Dyson engineers and Nature-published scientists working hand-in-hand. You can learn more about your potential Mytos teammates here: Team.
Mytos is backed by Y Combinator, the most successful startup program in the world which produced companies such as AirBnb, Dropbox, and Ginkgo Bioworks.
The Role
As a Senior Software Engineer focused on full-stack product development, you'll build the critical interfaces and systems that enable scientists to work with our cell manufacturing platform. You'll create intuitive, reliable software that abstracts away complexity while giving users powerful tools to customise and monitor cell growth protocols.
Your work will directly impact how quickly and effectively new therapies and research tools can be developed, ultimately helping patients worldwide.
What you'll do
* Work directly with customers to translate their scientific workflows into reliable, flexible and simple software solutions.
* Own and deliver end-to-end product functionality spanning experiment scheduling, automated image analysis, and remote operation of our devices.
* Develop and improve our frontend applications using TypeScript, React, and GraphQL to create intuitive interfaces for complex biological workflows.
* Build backend services that communicate with our hardware systems and ensure data integrity throughout the cell manufacturing process.
* Collaborate across disciplines with hardware engineers, biologists, and commercial teams to build reliable and effective systems in record time.
* Leverage tooling and automated testing to deliver quality software at speed.
* Contribute to the core architecture of our systems, improving database performance, data integrity, API design, and distributed system reliability.
Must-have
* Strong experience with full-stack web development using TypeScript or other typed languages.
* Experience with modern frontend frameworks (React preferred).
* Experience with backend development and API design (Node.js preferred).
* Understanding of distributed systems concepts.
* Experience working with databases (PostgreSQL and Prisma or similar ORM experience ideal).
* Experience working with complex data and creating intuitive interfaces to manage it.
* Ability to work effectively in cross-functional teams.
* Strong communication skills and customer empathy.
At least one of these areas
* Product thinking and design mentality.
* Deep distributed systems expertise.
* Systems control understanding.
Nice-to-have
* Experience with Python for data processing or image analysis.
* Background or interest in biology, lab automation, or scientific instrumentation.
* Experience working with or building distributed systems.
* Experience with regulated environments (GMP, HIPAA, etc.).
* Experience with UI/product design processes and tools.
Why You'll Love Working Here
Impact: Your work will directly enable the production of cell therapies that can transform patients' lives.
