Full Stack Software Engineer

What We're Building :

At Medra, we’re building an autonomous robotic platform that enables scientists to automate complex laboratory protocols and achieve continuous science with unmatched precision and scalability. By integrating advancements in AI, robotics, computer vision, and natural language processing, we are transforming how science is done to tackle some of humanity’s greatest challenges, from curing disease to advancing climate technology and beyond.

Our goal is to enable the next biggest leap in scientific discovery, unlocking a world where experimental data generation is no longer limited by the pace of human scientists or the rigidity of traditional lab automation. Our Continuous Science Platform executes lab protocols exactly as scientists do, constantly learning / improving to help optimize protocols.

This is an incredibly ambitious mission, but we believe that a team of ambitious people with high ownership can accomplish incredible things.

The Team :

We’re a team of passionate, mission-driven engineers from companies like Tesla, Amazon, SpaceX, and Neuralink. We’re collaborative and love moving fast, both with our product and on team trips skiing or go-karting!

As a team, we love nerding out about engineering and robotics — plus other topics like race cars or cooking. We like learning new things and then sharing our new knowledge with each other.

Our team is opinionated and straightforward. We don’t mind intense discussions about design tradeoffs. If we have arguments or miscommunication, we resolve conflicts quickly and empathetically.

In this role, you will :

Design and implement user experiences that spark joy in our customers

Build kick‑ass internal tools to allow us to build and support our robotic fleet with ease

Let's talk if you have :

Proficiency with Python and the ability to rapidly implement and iterate on ideas.

Experience building interactive front-ends with React or similar

Experience with Typescript

Understanding of programming for the web (HTML, CSS, JS, HTTP, REST)

Backend system design and implementation experience

Willingness to wear many hats / a flexible attitude towards responsibilities and scope

Ability to move fast in an environment where things are sometimes loosely defined and you may have competing priorities or deadlines.

Passion for learning and expanding your skillset

2+ years of relevant engineering experience at tech and product-driven companies

Nice to have :

Experience with database technologies like Postgres and Redis

Interest and experience in robotics, machine learning, or computer vision (bonus points for past experience working with hardware)

This position is 100% in-person, you must be able to come on-site to our San Francisco office. We offer relocation benefits for applicants who need to relocate.
