Senior Full-Stack Engineer

We are seeking a Senior Full-Stack Engineer to help build the next generation of AI-driven products that empower researchers worldwide. In this role, you'll work across the full stack — front end, back end, and integrations — to deliver performant, scalable, and intelligent applications that directly advance scientific research and discovery. You'll help architect the future of research technology, developing agentic AI systems and intelligent collaboration experiences that remove barriers to discovery. The products you build will be used by scientists and researchers worldwide, accelerating breakthroughs that improve lives. If you are motivated by purpose, excited by cutting‑edge technology, and thrive in an environment that values autonomy, velocity, and excellence, we'd love to meet you.

What You'll Do

Design and build next‑generation platforms that empower researchers and accelerate scientific discovery — from scalable web applications to intelligent, AI‑driven experiences.
Develop and maintain high‑performance front‑end and back‑end systems using modern technologies such as React, Next.js, Node.js, PHP, and Python, ensuring exceptional quality, speed, and reliability.
Integrate agentic AI systems that augment human creativity and automate complex research and writing workflows.
Contribute to architecture and system design, ensuring scalability, security, and alignment with the organization’s long‑term technology strategy.
Drive innovation by experimenting with new frameworks, tools, and methods that increase development velocity and platform performance.
Collaborate closely with cross‑functional teams — Product, Design, QA, AI Engineering, and DevOps — to translate product vision into elegant, executable solutions.
Deliver clean, maintainable, and testable code through disciplined development practices, thoughtful peer reviews, and proactive documentation.
Take ownership of your work from concept to deployment, ensuring smooth releases and reliable post‑launch performance.
Mentor and collaborate with peers, sharing knowledge, supporting growth, and contributing to a culture of engineering excellence.
Continuously improve systems and processes, identifying opportunities to enhance automation, observability, and developer productivity.
Operate with autonomy and accountability, making technical decisions that balance velocity, scalability, and long‑term sustainability.

Requirements

A full‑stack craftsman with deep experience designing, building, and maintaining complex web applications across the stack using technologies such as React, Next.js, Node.js, PHP, Python, and modern databases (MySQL, Postgres).
A systems thinker who understands how architecture, scalability, and performance fit together and can design solutions that are both elegant and pragmatic.
AI fluent — excited by the intersection of software engineering and AI, with the ability to integrate AI APIs, workflows, and agentic systems into real‑world applications.
Driven by purpose, motivated by building products that matter and accelerating global research and discovery.
Collaborative and communicative, thriving on cross‑functional teams and seeing engineers, designers, and product managers as partners in solving complex problems.
A high‑output, high‑ownership engineer who consistently delivers, takes initiative, and holds yourself accountable for results, moving fast while never compromising on quality.
Detail oriented, caring about code clarity, maintainability, and testing, believing great software is reliable, performant, and well crafted.
Adaptable and curious, comfortable shifting between modern frameworks and legacy systems, and always learning new technologies.
Leadership minded, mentoring others, influencing without ego, and raising the standard for those around you.
Resilient under change, performing well in a fast‑paced, evolving environment, seeing change as an opportunity to innovate.
