## Description

Join a well-funded deeptech startup at the intersection of AI, robotics, and materials science. This infrastructure engineering role sits at the heart of an autonomous laboratory platform - the coordination layer between scientific intent and physical execution. Your work will directly shape how scientists and engineers discover new materials, with reliability, observability, and usability treated as first-class product priorities., * Build and maintain backend services in Python (FastAPI, Pydantic) to orchestrate real scientific workflows.

 * Develop data pipelines that convert raw experimental output into actionable signals.
 * Create internal dashboards and interfaces (React, TypeScript, Tailwind, Streamlit) used daily by scientists and engineers.
 * Maintain containerized environments and CI/CD pipelines to keep systems running smoothly.
 * Improve observability so teams understand system state proactively - before users report issues.
 * Drive reliability improvements grounded in real failure modes and production experience.
 * Support job orchestration and ML systems, including integration with SLURM-based simulation clusters.
 * Treat infrastructure as a product that directly affects scientific productivity and discovery outcomes.
