Senior Software Engineer

Our mission at Asimov is to radically advance humankind's ability to design living systems. We're developing a mammalian synthetic biology platform––from cells to software––to enable biotechnologies with outsized impact, with an initial focus on gene therapies, cell therapies, and protein therapeutics.

What would software engineering be like without an IDE? How could humans design a modern plane without CAD? Genetic engineering will be even more demanding—and we're building the tools to make it possible. Kernel is our platform for bioengineers to design, build, and debug genetic systems as confidently as we ship code. We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer to help us build it.

You'll join an interdisciplinary team that works directly with scientists, synthetic biologists, and computational biologists alongside your teammates in software engineering and product.

About the Role :

• Design GraphQL APIs for searching, editing and analyzing tens of thousands of genetic constructs using Python 3, SQLAlchemy and Strawberry.
• Shape the software architecture and be involved in the long-term product direction. Collaborate on data models that represent the genuine complexity of biological systems.
• Interface directly with synthetic biologists to understand their workflows and identify tools that would transform their productivity.
• Be part of an on-call rotation to support the software you’ve helped develop.

About You :

We're fueled by a vision to transform biological engineering into a fully‑fledged engineering discipline. Should you join our team, you will grow with a constantly evolving organization and push the frontiers of synthetic biology. Company culture is key to Asimov, and ours is a culture of recombination; we believe that our mission can only be achieved by bringing together a diverse team with a mixture of backgrounds and perspectives.
