Product Engineer, Frontend

About Plasmidsaurus Plasmidsaurus is on a mission to accelerate new cures and promote a healthier planet by unlocking a new level of productivity for scientists. Our sequencing services are used daily by thousands of innovators, including Nobel laureates, Fortune 100 pharma, and over 70,000 scientists. We began by revolutionizing plasmid sequencing, making it exponentially cheaper and faster, with innovative sequencing technologies and a global network of laboratories that turn samples into answers in hours, not weeks. Now we are expanding that same disruptive model across all of genomics. With the launch of our new RNA-seq service, we are taking a bold step toward our vision to sequence everything, providing scientists everywhere with faster, simpler, and more affordable access to the data that powers discovery. Every team member at Plasmidsaurus plays a crucial role in driving the future of biotech research. Together, we are building the world’s most efficient sequencing engine that operates overnight, scales globally, and helps scientists make breakthroughs faster than ever before. The role We are looking for a product-minded full-stack engineer to help us build a product that our customers will love. What you’ll do: Work on the web application where we deliver results to scientists. Ship features end to end, owning the full stack from planning to launch. Work with our bioinformaticians to turn complex pipelines into intuitive web application UIs. Help set the engineering quality bar, practices and culture at Plasmidsaurus so our small team can ship even more. What we're looking for You can pick a problem and solve it. We don’t expect you to be an expert in everything we use, but we expect strong frontend skills and web fundamentals, and a background working with parts of our stack (React, Flask, Postgres, AWS). You have a bias towards action and you ship fast. You notice what's broken, propose the fix, and care whether users like what you shipped. You have strong design and UX sensibility. You ramp fast in new domains. No biology background is required, but you should lean into complexity rather than away from it. What would impress us even more? You’ve taken products from 0 to 1 before. Perhaps you’ve been an early employee or founder at another startup like so many of our team – or built successful side projects. You have experience with performant, data-heavy browser rendering (canvas, WebGL, visx). You have background or interest in bioinformatics or life sciences. What we offer We are a bootstrapped, profitable company at an exciting inflection point. Ownership and impact. Your work goes directly to 70,000 scientists, including Nobel laureates, who trust Plasmidsaurus with their research. A tower office in South San Francisco with bay views, state-of-the-art lab, and the occasional batch of liquid nitrogen ice cream. We encourage you to apply even if your experience doesn't perfectly align with the job description as we seek out diverse and creative perspectives. Team members who love to learn and collaborate in an inclusive environment will thrive with us. We are an equal opportunity employer and do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.
