Preferred Qualifications * Domain Experience: Experience with LIMS, lab automation, or another life sciences domain * Agent/LLM Experience: Experience building with LLMs or agent frameworks - tool and skill design, evaluation, or getting a model to behave reliably against real systems * Stack Familiarity: Experience with Django, FastAPI, SQLAlchemy, React, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, Docker, or AWS ## Description You'll work across the stack - front end, backend, and the integrations that reach into instruments, Benchling, and agent runtimes - partnering closely with our machine learning, automation, and biology teams.

We'll bring you up to speed in the domain of drug development and back your ideas with real trust and mentorship along the way., Full-Stack Ownership * Ship Across the Stack: Build the React and TypeScript frontends scientists use every day, the Python services behind them, and integrations that reach instruments, Benchling, and agent runtimes * Own It End to End: Take a feature from the first conversation with a scientist through the data model and UI to the alert that fires when it breaks * Do the Normal SWE Things: Write code, review design docs, talk to users, and do code reviews that actually make the codebase better Agentic Tooling & Experimentation * Chase User Appreciation: Ship things that make scientists say "OMG, this is amazing, thank you so much." * Figure Out What's Actually Useful: Test agentic tooling ideas through prototypes, real users, and short iterative loops rather than betting on theory * Move the Needle: Contribute work that meaningfully advances insitro's mission and the pace of drug development Cross-Functional Partnership * Go Watch the Work: Spend time in the lab observing the workflow before you change it * Partner Broadly: Collaborate closely with machine learning, automation, and biology teams to build tools people actually use * Keep Humans in the Loop: Design for provenance and verifiability, so a scientist can always check what an agent did and why ## Related Videos - [Slopquatting, API Keys, Fun with Fonts, Recruiters vs AI and more - The Best of LIVE 2025 - Part 2](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1765-slopquatting-api-keys-fun-with-fonts-recruiters-vs-ai-and-more-the-best-of-live-2025-part-2) - [Developing the Backend with Stefan Lingler, CTO at Shpock](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100360-developing-the-backend-with-stefan-lingler-cto-at-shpock) - [Intro to FastAPI](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/462-intro-to-fastapi) - [Docker Compose: Rediscovered](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1978-docker-compose-rediscovered) - [Nest.js - TypeScript in the backend can also be clean](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1033-nest-js-typescript-in-the-backend-can-also-be-clean) - [Building and Deploying Multi-Agent Systems with ADK and Vertex AI](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1918-building-and-deploying-multi-agent-systems-with-adk-and-vertex-ai) ## Related Articles - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [What Are Large Language Models?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/304-what-are-large-language-models) - [Why Upskilling And Reskilling is Important For Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/428-why-upskilling-and-reskilling-is-important-for-developers) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline) - [Software Engineer Salary London](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/252-software-engineer-salary-london)
