What We're Building:

At Medra, our mission is to use AI, robotics, and biology to accelerate life science research, with the ultimate goal of eradicating disease. We have been quietly building the foundational layers of our Physical AI Scientist platform:

🤖 Physical AI that can operate scientific instruments with human-level dexterity.

🧪 Scientific AI that can analyze results, reason about next steps, and close the loop autonomously.

This is an incredibly ambitious mission, but we believe that a team of ambitious people with high ownership can accomplish incredible things.

The Team:

• We're a team of passionate, mission-driven engineers and scientists from companies like Tesla, Amazon, SpaceX, and Neuralink. We're collaborative and love moving fast, both with our product and on team trips skiing or go-karting!

• As a team, we love nerding out about engineering and robotics — plus other topics like race cars or cooking. We like learning new things and then sharing our new knowledge with each other.

• Our team is opinionated and straightforward. We don't mind intense discussions about design tradeoffs. If we have arguments or miscommunication, we resolve conflicts quickly and empathetically.

In This Role, You Will:

• Own the architecture and implementation of full-stack systems end-to-end — writing code daily and being in the critical path on the hardest problems, not delegating them.

• Design and implement user experiences that spark joy in our customers.

• Build kick-ass internal tools to allow us to build, support and scale our robotic fleet across multiple customer deployments.

• Set the technical direction and quality bar for full-stack engineering, and make the hard tradeoff calls on design, scope, and prioritization.

• Grow a small team of talented full-stack engineers — hiring, mentoring, and unblocking them as a force multiplier alongside your own technical work.

Let's talk if you have:

• Deep proficiency with Python and the ability to rapidly implement and iterate on ideas.

• Experience building interactive front-ends with React or similar.

• Experience with TypeScript.

• Understanding of programming for the web (HTML, CSS, JS, HTTP, REST).
