Software Engineer (Mid to Senior Levels)

Join Nomic, a pioneering biotech company, as a Software Engineer. In this role, you will design, build, and support our world-class software stack, which includes a full-stack LIMS, data pipelines, and a customer-facing web portal. You will have the opportunity to make substantive changes and play a critical role in developing core improvements to our software infrastructure. This position requires strong Python skills, experience in software engineering, and a background in the biotech or life sciences industry.

• Concevoir, construire et soutenir un logiciel de classe mondiale qui permet aux utilisateurs de nELISA d'exploiter les super-pouvoirs de la protéomique.
• Développer des composants essentiels de la pile logicielle nELISA, y compris des schémas de base de données, des pipelines d'analyse et de nouvelles algorithmes d'analyse.
• Collaborer avec les équipes d'ingénierie, commerciales et opérationnelles pour construire des outils internes qui créent et soutiennent des boucles de rétroaction basées sur les données.
• Strong Python skills and experience working as part of a small software team; ability to rapidly prototype and ship modular software that extends an existing codebase — and the judgment to harden it for production
• Bachelors or Masters degree in engineering or computer science (or related field), or equivalent industry experience
• Experience developing new data analysis pipelines and algorithms for biochemical assays (or similar), such as ELISA, flow cytometry, mass spec, and/or NGS
• Nice to have / strong plus: experience building agentic systems: LLM tool use, MCP servers, skills, RAG, or eval harnesses. A thoughtful approach to using AI on a codebase that handles sensitive customer data (review, secrets management, and verification)
• Full-stack software engineering experience, ideally including time spent in the biotech and/or life sciences industry
• Fluency in English is required as our customers and vendors are primarily located in the USA. In addition, this position will interact with our team members within our USA entity
• Excellent communication skills — written, verbal, and in a codebase — including the ability to write clear specs and context for both human teammates and AI agents. An independent problem solver
• Experience developing at least one of the following: built extensions on an existing LIMS in close collaboration with scientists as your end-users (e.g. Benchling), written software that interfaces with lab equipment (such as liquid handlers or cytometers), and/or established high performance data pipelines and data stores for biological data that support user workflows (data lakes, viz layers, etc)
• Hands-on experience with AI coding tools (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor, or similar) and a real point of view on them — you're comfortable directing agents, reviewing their output critically, and writing the specs and context that make them effective
• Technical skills in one of algorithm development, signal processing, image analysis, computational biology and/or bioinformatics
• We are hiring mid to senior levels. The bars below describe what a strong senior candidate looks like; for earlier career candidates we weight demonstrated ability, strong fundamentals, and fluency with modern AI-assisted development over raw years of experience
