You'll work across the stack- designing and building backend services, APIs, and data pipelines, while also contributing to user-facing features that make those capabilities accessible and intuitive. Our mission is to build an AI scientist, and you'll help build the tools, interfaces, and data systems it relies on. While this role leans heavily toward backend engineering, you'll regularly collaborate with frontend engineers, designers, and researchers to deliver end-to-end functionality. At Edison Scientific, full-stack engineering isn't about doing "a little bit of everything." It's about owning features from concept to production, understanding how systems fit together, and building reliable foundations that accelerate humanity's ability to ask bigger questions- and find answers faster. This role is on-site at our San Francisco office in the Dogpatch neighborhood. Our office is a converted warehouse with high ceilings, open space, and a team that genuinely believes in what they're building., * Design, implement, and maintain backend services, APIs, and databases that power the scientific discovery platform. * Contribute to frontend features and workflows, partnering closely with design and frontend teammates to deliver cohesive user experiences. * Build and extend data pipelines that support AI agents and research workflows. * Implement monitoring, observability, and automated testing to ensure system reliability and uptime. * Troubleshoot issues across the stack and proactively improve system quality. * Collaborate with engineering, design, and research teams to ship new AI-driven features and services. * Grow as a software engineer within a highly collaborative team working at the frontier of AI for science. ## Related Videos - [MySQL Protocol Features You Should Be Aware Of](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100267-mysql-protocol-features-you-should-be-aware-of) - [Docker Compose: Rediscovered](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1978-docker-compose-rediscovered) - [Putting the Graph In GraphQL With The Neo4j GraphQL Library](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/257-putting-the-graph-in-graphql-with-the-neo4j-graphql-library) - [Shipping Faster with Less: Render on Cloud Hosting, AI Workloads, and the Future of DevOps](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1894-shipping-faster-with-less-render-on-cloud-hosting-ai-workloads-and-the-future-of-devops) - [GraphQL + Apollo + Next.js: A Lovely Trio](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/311-graphql-apollo-next-js-a-lovely-trio) - [Docker build without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100114-docker-build-without-docker) ## Related Articles - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Navigating the AI Shift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/629-navigating-the-ai-shift) - [Where To Find Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/396-where-to-find-software-engineering-jobs)
