Senior Software Engineer – Biotech | £70–80k | Hybrid (3 days/week in London)
We’re supporting a fast-growing biotech company in London that’s using cutting-edge automation and machine learning to accelerate therapeutic antibody discovery. They’re scaling their internal systems and tools and are now hiring two Senior Software Engineers to join the team.
This is a full-stack role (though one of the hires could lean more towards backend). You’ll work closely with scientists, engineers, and product stakeholders to build software that powers real-world lab automation and scientific data handling.
What you'll be doing:
* Building tools that enable large-scale scientific experiments and research automation
* Collaborating with wet lab scientists and non-technical users
* Developing clean, maintainable software in Python, React, TypeScript
* Deploying and managing apps in GCP
* Working in a close-knit engineering team with room to shape architecture and best practices
What they’re looking for:
* 5+ years of Python development experience (industry)
* Solid experience with production systems and CI/CD pipelines
* Experience with full-stack engineering (or backend with strong data focus)
* Bonus: experience in biotech, academia, or working with non-tech stakeholders
* Bonus: exposure to LIMS/ELN tools (e.g. Benchling)
What’s on offer:
* £70–80k salary (upper end for exceptional candidates)
* Generous equity
* Private medical, health cash plan, life insurance
* On-site gym/climbing wall access
* Weekly team lunch & regular socials
* Flexible working hours, but 3 days/week in-office is a must
This is a chance to build tools that power life-changing science!
