Frontend-Developer in Lab Automation

We are looking for an experienced Front-End Developer who can take ownership of projects, break them down into clear work packages, and delegate tasks effectively.

Our mission is to simplify lab workflows through innovative software that helps lab technicians and scientists design, execute, and analyze experiments.

You will primarily shape our web app, where devices, experiments, and samples come together. Our platform spans from optimized C++ firmware on microcontrollers to cloud applications, but our front-end stack is close to a modern web app or SaaS product; with fewer users and a strong focus on real-time data.

We work closely with our in-house scientists: you will clarify requirements, plan implementation, gather feedback from internal tests, and challenge feature requests.

Our goal is not to blindly implement features, but to build a consistent, usable product with a clear software philosophy.

Our Tech Stacks

Web App/Cloud (your focus)

• Next.js/React/TypeScript
• PostgreSQL
• WebSocket/REST
• Docker
• Tailscale/Cloudflare

Robot/Embedded Systems

• python/flask
• C(++)
• CAN/RS232/I2C/SPI, * Contribute significantly to the development and technical direction of our real-time web software.
• Improve our stack with focus on security, data integrity, maintainability, and developer experience.
• Lead and participate in architecture, design, and code reviews.
• Deliver features end-to-end, from implementation and testing to user feedback and support.
• Collaborate with scientists to turn workflows into user stories and technical tasks.
• Mentor junior developers and support onboarding.
• Improve engineering practices, including reviews, testing, and delivery processes.

• Minimum 5 years of professional software development experience.
• Proven experience developing, debugging, and deploying software used in real-world applications.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience.
• Experience contributing to or leading projects end-to-end, ideally with first team coordination or mentoring experience.
• Experience with our tech stack or comparable technologies.
• Solid understanding of real-time software and respective protocols, including where performance optimizations are meaningful.
• Experience with UI/UX, consistent design systems, and critically evaluating feature requests against product goals.
• Familiarity with version control, CI/CD, and modern software development workflows.
• Strong communication skills in English and German (min. C1 or equivalent)
• Ability to work effectively in a dynamic environment with changing needs and requirements.

Note about AI/LLM usage

We use AI/LLM tools in development, but this role requires strong engineering fundamentals. You should understand architecture, design, protocols, safety, and performance, and be able to use AI tools critically and responsibly.

• Join a fast-growing, VC-funded startup and help shape our product portfolio.
• A clear product direction with the freedom to shape the way.
• Work in a modern office and lab space in Hamburg-Eppendorf, with supermarket, bakery, and many lunch options in the same building and near by.
• Modern hardware, typically MacBook Air/Pro; alternatives can be discussed.
• Wellpass sports membership
• HVV Profiticket
