PythonAPI DevelopmentGraphQLResearch
About the role
- Make architectural decisions that will shape Kernel for years, with real ownership over how the system evolves.
- Architect data models that represent the genuine complexity of biological systems.
Responsibilities
- Design GraphQL APIs for searching, editing and analyzing tens of thousands of genetic constructs using Python 3, SQLAlchemy and Strawberry.
- You think about API design, data migrations, and what happens when the system has 10x usage.
- You have 10+ years building production software - systems that other engineers depend on, not research code that runs once.
- You want to help design a product with a close-knit team, not just write code from predefined specifications.
- You can navigate the ambiguity of building something first-of-its-kind.
Nice to have
- You have deep expertise in Python 3, and ideally with GraphQL, SQLAlchemy, and/or Strawberry.
Skills
- Interface directly with synthetic biologists to understand their workflows and identify tools that would transform their productivity.
Benefits
- We're fueled by a vision to transform biological engineering into a fully-fledged engineering discipline.
Company info
- Company culture is key to Asimov, and ours is a culture of recombination; we believe that our mission can only be achieved by bringing together a diverse team with a mixture of backgrounds and perspectives.
- Be part of an on-call rotation to support the software you've helped develop.
