Vivodyne creates human data before clinical trials.

We accelerate the successful discovery, design, and development of human therapeutics by testing on large, lab-grown human organ tissues at massive scale, driving technological advancement at the convergence of novel biology, robotics, and AI. We identify and validate new therapeutic targets and de-risk new therapeutic assets by producing clinically translatable multi-omic data from our proprietary, physiologically-realistic human organ tissues at unprecedented scale, speed, and quality. This enables us to produce more human data than all clinical trials in the U.S. combined. We're financially backed by some of the most selective and successful venture funds, and we have already partnered with a majority of the top 10 multinational pharmaceutical companies to discover and develop better, safer drugs and dramatically reduce the burden of animal testing.

Role

We're looking for an exceptional Senior Full-Stack Software Engineer to work hand in hand with our Product team to build polished, high-performance web applications using React / Next.js and MongoDB or Postgres as databases.

The ideal candidate has depth across the stack in both frontend and backend and has an exceptional history of building and shipping complex, data-intensive applications. Additionally, the ideal candidate is an 'AI native' and uses their strong technical expertise to augment the prototyping speed provided by LLMs. You'll ship deliverables in days, not months, and have a sharp instinct for system architectures that achieve rapid delivery and robust performance.

You will be a core contributor to shaping our next-generation biotech platform that discovers and tests new drugs on lab-grown human tissues.

Own the building of scientific experiment design and results-monitoring tools that, together with our platform, have enabled Vivodyne to partner with a majority of the top-10 pharmaceutical companies in making better, safer cures to complex human diseases. You will be expected to deliver web applications that align with well-designed frames/user flows and product requirements that help scientists interact seamlessly with our unique datasets, robotic systems, and lab-grown tissues.

You'll have the opportunity to work at the cutting edge of biotech and software engineering, collaborating with teams spanning tissue engineering, robotics, and AI. You'll be working a few feet away from large precision robots, laser microscopes, and robot arms, surrounded by an exceptionally talent-dense team of experts from multiple scientific disciplines.

You will be able to focus on building internal products and tools with incredible functionality, surrounded by sophisticated end users directly appreciative of the products you build---without needing to do integration testing for first-gen Chromebooks or handle bug reports from Fire tablets.

While bringing a passion and exquisite skill for building and shipping high-quality applications that drive scientific discovery, you'll be involved firsthand in the advancement of human health, you'll watch thousands of human organ tissues grow before your eyes, and join an intense, fun, fast-moving team in shaping the future of human health.
