Software Engineer, Helix-Foundry

Science is seeking an experienced web engineer to help build out their software platform called Helix for designing, executing, and tracking manufacturing processes for products ranging from semiconductor wafers to cell lines. The ideal candidate will have 5+ years of experience as a web software engineer, including significant depth in both frontend and backend engineering. They should also have the ability to act as their own product manager and track down the next feature or product that will be most immediately useful for the least coding effort. The candidate should have a strong sense of when it's appropriate to address mounting technical debt, and when to keep building new features. The role requires demonstrated ability to quickly ship with little oversight in a chaotic startup environment.
