  • Problem Solving: You are able to debug complex issues across the entire stack

  • Team Player: You enjoy pair programming, participating in architectural brainstorms, and giving and receiving thoughtful, constructive code reviews

  • Cross-Functional Mindset: You are eager to sit down with our Data Scientists or our biologists to understand their bottlenecks while also helping fellow engineers optimize deployment pipelines

  • At least 4 years of experience with Python specifically with modern web asynchronous frameworks like FastAPI (or similar)

  • Experience with testing frameworks such as Pytest

  • Proficiency with MongoDB, including schema design and performance tuning
