Job description

At BioRender, we are accelerating the world’s ability to discover, learn, and communicate science faster through visuals. Today, BioRender empowers millions of scientists to create beautiful, accurate biological figures for communication within pharma companies and academic research.

Our vision is to make BioRender the place where humans read biology—translating human and AI-generated data into scientifically accurate, human-understandable visuals. As AI automates large parts of research, BioRender will transform complex data, experimental results, and text inputs into clear, intuitive visuals that scientists, decision-makers, and broader audiences can quickly interpret. Visual communication will be critical to accelerating breakthroughs across academia and industry, and BioRender will bridge the gap between specialized knowledge domains.

What you'll be doing:

• Collaborate Across Teams: Work side-by-side with product managers, designers, and data scientists to shape a roadmap that empowers scientific leaders to collaborate safely and effectively together.

• Own and Improve: Take end-to-end ownership of key components of our codebase, ensuring that features are robust, secure, scalable, and maintainable.

• Integrating into our user’ workflow: Design and build secure, seamless integrations between BioRender and our users’ core tools.

• Evolving our suite of admin tooling: Help our enterprise administrators effectively manage their users and content by building tools for both internal and external teams (e.g. authentication, sharing controls, usage reporting).

• Drive Creative Problem-Solving: Embrace ambiguity, experiment boldly, and develop creative solutions that push the boundaries of what our product can do.

Our ideal fit brings:

• User Focused & Impact Driven: You prioritize delivering real value to users, thoughtfully balancing quality, speed, and the company’s broader goals

• AI Passion: You’re genuinely curious about AI, continuously explore emerging tools, and love applying them in real-world projects.

• Tech Expertise: Proficient in modern JavaScript frameworks (e.g., ReactJS), NodeJS/ExpressJS, cloud infrastructure (e.g., AWS). Experience with MongoDB/NoSQL databases for efficient data management

• Strong Communicator & Collaborator: You thrive in a collaborative environment, working closely with others across disciplines to achieve shared objectives.

• Crafting Quality User Experiences: You work closely with design and product to craft delightful user interfaces, leveraging the web platform and using tools like UI frameworks such as React.

• Builder Mentality: With 7+ years of full-stack development experience, you’ve built products from concept to production and are eager to prototype and iterate quickly.

Nice to haves:

• Experience with AWS and Terraform for cloud infrastructure and automation.

• Background in science with an analytical and data-driven approach to problem-solving.

• Passionate mentor with experience guiding and supporting team members.

• Enterprise development experience, building scalable and robust systems in a complex environment.

Why join us?
