Job description

At Enginzyme, we're pioneering biomanufacturing by combining the power of enzymes, process engineering, and an automated smart lab. We are seeking an IT & Software Engineer to join our team with a 50/50 split in maintaining our IT infrastructure and developing the software that powers our smart lab and data pipelines.

The role has a natural home in two parts of the company. On the IT side, you'll work closely with Operations, keeping our systems secure, reliable, and fit for purpose. On the software side, you'll be embedded in R&D, building the smart lab and tools that turn operational data into insight researchers can act on. We've deliberately built a lean, largely self-hosted IT system with minimal reliance on cloud and SaaS. It's a considered choice as we value the control, simplicity, and predictability it gives us. We're looking for someone who'll appreciate working within that framework rather than an over-reliance on external tools.

You will work closely with colleagues in biochemistry, process engineering, lab automation, and operations in a collaborative environment. This is a hands-on, multidisciplinary role suited to someone who enjoys solving technical problems across the whole stack. From provisioning hardware and managing networks to designing clean, dependable data pipelines.

If you want to use your expertise in tech to help the global transition toward sustainable, bio-based solutions, this is your next challenge. Note: the role is situated on site at our office in Solna, Stockholm and a valid Swedish work permit is required.

Responsibilities

IT

• Maintain onsite server and core IT tools with a focus on reliability and uptime
• Handle company networking, from day-to-day basics through more advanced configuration (VLANs, firewalls, and routing as needed)
• Administer SaaS accounts
• Help maintain good security hygiene across the company
• Support updates and upgrades to existing lab desktop PCs

Software Development

• Design, build, and maintain data pipelines to support the transformation of experimental data to information
• Develop and support software for our smart lab from integrating instruments and capturing data to automating workflows
• Write maintainable, tested code and own features from specification through deployment
• Work with stakeholders to turn lab and operational needs into working tools

Requirements

• MSc in Computer Science, closely related field, or equivalent demonstrable experience
• 3+ years working experience with Python, preferably within data analytics
• Proven experience working with and maintaining Linux-based machinesDatabase experience (PostgreSQL, MySQL, time-series databases, etc.)
• Experience using Docker to run self-hosted/on‑prem infrastructure
• Fundamental understanding of basic networking
• Familiarity with the current state of AI for software development
• Comfortable working independently across a broad range of problems and switching context between operational and development work
• Solid grip on working with git in a team environment

Meritorious Skills

• Experience working in a scientific lab is highly valued
• Sys‑admin work experience
• Experience with C or C++
• Experience with Grafana, Plotly, or other visualization software
• Experience with Benchling or other lab data management software
• Experience integrating lab instruments, IoT, or hardware via APIs/serial/automation
• Cloud experience (Google/Cloudflare)

About you

• You're able to work independently, owning a large portion of your work whilst collaborating with stakeholders and team mates to make key decisions
• You thrive in a small company environment where priorities shift and you'll help define requirements as you go
• You're pragmatic and resourceful, favouring robust solutions over the latest tech stack
• You take security and good practice seriously, given the trust the role carries
• You can explain technical things clearly to non-technical colleagues and turn their needs into working tools
• Good grip on the English language.

If this describes you, you will be an excellent fit for our team. We understand that you might not feel like you 'check all the boxes' as you read this job description. However, if this role excites you and makes you eager to learn, we encourage you to apply regardless.
