A London-based biotechnology company. We use breakthrough technologies in synthetic biology, next-generation sequencing, and machine learning to cultivate the 99% previously unculturable microbes. These microbes constitute the biggest bioresource in life, and our exclusive access allows us to discover novel chemicals that can be applied across a variety of markets.
We are impact-driven. Our first goal is to solve the growing antimicrobial resistance crisis through novel antibiotics and stabilise global food security through novel natural biodegradable fungicides.
We prioritize in-office work for fostering collaboration, with most of our computational team in our Vauxhall office 4 days a week. We're flexible when it matters, but this role is not suitable for someone seeking a fully remote position.

You will work closely with dozens of world-class lab scientists, bioinformaticians, data scientists, and robot automation engineers, turning their requirements for research functionality into user-friendly features.
Collaborate with our team to deliver reliable, tested, typed, clean Python code to improve our application and model our scientific domain in code
You will be working alongside subject-matter experts including bioinformaticians and data scientists to ensure that our backend aligns with business priorities
Optimising the infrastructure that we run our application & scientific pipelines on
You will be up to date on current trends and best practices in backend architecture (performance, accessibility, security and usability), giving input on the architecture of new and existing projects
Skills, Knowledge, and Expertise:
Our stack is Python 3, SQLAlchemy, FastAPI, RQ, MySQL with a frontend in Remix, React, TypeScript, CSS Modules with OpenAPI-based API client generation for TypeScript.
We emphasize code quality, employing reviews on top of static analysis tools (pyright, ruff, ruff format) with plenty of tests in place to maintain a high-quality codebase.
We would love you to have experience with some of the tools we use, but it's not a requirement. Instead, we're eager for you to have the desire to learn and develop yourself.
If you are passionate about solving complex problems and working in a team with a strong sense of mission is something you crave, then we would love to talk to you.
