Role Type: Permanent or Contract

The Mission

Our platform is at the bleeding edge of life sciences automation. It already saves lives -- but our next challenge is scaling it globally, bridging

cloud + edge

, backend + frontend, infrastructure + product.


This is your chance to work as a

staff-level Full Stack Engineer

on problems that are both technically complex and deeply meaningful. You'll help shape how our platform runs -- from distributed data pipelines to edge-deployed solutions powering labs across the world.

The Role

As a

Staff Full Stack Engineer

, you'll be a

hands-on contributor

who can move fluidly across the stack while also influencing architecture and direction. Your primary strength will be in

Python and backend engineering

, but you'll also bring experience with containerisation, distributed infra, and frontend development where needed.


You'll design systems that work not just in AWS, but also at the edge -- turning ambitious product goals into scalable, production-ready solutions.

What You'll Do

Backend & Infra:

Build robust Python-based services, with strong containerisation and orchestration (Kubernetes, Docker).

Distributed Systems:

Work with technologies like

NATS, ScyllaDB, Authentik, Vault, Traefik, Consul

to deliver resilient, scalable services.

Cloud + Edge Deployments:

Design solutions that span

AWS cloud

and

edge clusters

, including hybrid IoT/edge architectures.

Frontend Contribution:

Support product delivery by contributing to the

JavaScript/React frontend

when needed.

Influence Direction:

Help shape architecture and technology choices across the stack.

Deliver at Pace:

Thrive in a high-performance team that moves quickly but builds for scale.

What You Bring

Strong expertise in

Python

development. Hands-on experience with

Kubernetes, Docker

, and containerised services. Familiarity with

NATS, ScyllaDB, Authentik, Vault, Traefik, Consul

(some, not all, required). Experience in

hybrid deployments

(AWS + edge), ideally with IoT or edge-deployed solutions. Willingness to contribute to the frontend using

JavaScript/React

. Startup/scaleup experience -- you know how to ship quickly without cutting corners.

Nice to Have

Deep IoT or edge solution engineering experience. Broader frontend development experience. Exposure to mission-critical industries (life sciences, healthcare, manufacturing).

Why Join Us

Work at the

intersection of backend, cloud, edge, and frontend

-- a true fullstack role. Build systems that directly impact

global scientific research and human health

. Join a

senior, high-calibre engineering team

working closely with product and design. Hybrid working: 3 days in our London office, with balance for focus time. Competitive package, plus the opportunity to do

career-defining, meaningful work

.

If you're a staff-level full stack engineer who thrives across Python, infra, and edge -- and wants to build products with global impact -- this is your role.
