Description We're looking for a Full Stack Software Engineer to help build, modernize, and scale internal applications and services that support scientific and operational workflows across the organization.

Hands-on experience with Python and at least one backend web framework (Flask, FastAPI, or similar). Proficiency with React or a modern frontend framework. Strong foundation in software engineering best practices — testing, clean code, and maintainability. A track record of reviewing production code and providing constructive, actionable feedback. Familiarity with relational databases and data modeling. Comfort with version control, automated testing, and CI/CD workflows. Strong communication skills, a collaborative mindset, and the ability to navigate ambiguity. Experience designing scalable systems using microservices architecture preferred. Experience with microfrontend architecture preferred. Experience working with distributed or offshore engineering teams preferred. Familiarity with modern frontend frameworks preferred. Experience modernizing legacy systems or workflows preferred. Background in scientific, analytical, or data-driven environments preferred, Responsibilities Design and build backend services and APIs that are reliable, well-tested, and built to last.

Key Skills Full stack ownership — taking a feature from API design to UI polish Engineering judgment — making thoughtful trade-offs between speed, quality, and complexity Readable, maintainable code — writing for the next developer, not just the current sprint Pragmatic problem-solving — finding the right solution, not just the clever one Ownership and accountability — following through from design to deployment Continuous improvement — always looking for ways to make the codebase better Clear communication — explaining ideas, decisions, and trade-offs with clarity Pay Range Disclosure Statement $120,000 - $162,000 USD The range provided is based on what we believe is a reasonable estimate for the annual base salary pay range for this position at the time of posting.
