Software Engineer, Product

<p style="min-height:1.5em"><strong>Adaptyv is building an automated lab that lets AI agents run biology experiments. </strong></p><p style="min-height:1.5em">We're entering the era of agentic science where AI models can now design novel proteins, propose hypotheses, and iterate on experimental results. But they can't run the experiments themselves - that's still a manual, months-long process. We're building the infrastructure that gives AI agents access to the physical world.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em">We are one of the fastest growing biotech companies, trusted by leading biopharmas, frontier AI labs, and the techbio companies pushing the field forward. This is a rare chance to help advance some of the most important work happening in biotech today.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em">Our automated lab is powered by a deep software + hardware stack: lab instruments worth millions of USD reverse-engineered into API-controllable hardware, dozens of devices orchestrated through complex workflows, full observability on everything that happens in the lab, processing pipelines for messy physical-world data, and AI systems that troubleshoot production results and accelerate assay development.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em">We’re growing rapidly and are hiring for talented people to scale and support the massive demand for AI-driven wet lab experimentation.</p><h3>About the role</h3><p style="min-height:1.5em">You'll work across LabOS — our internal software platform — building the orchestration layer that coordinates everything from experiment scheduling to execution to data capture and results processing. This is full-stack product engineering at the intersection of software and physical-world biology.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em">Day-to-day, that can mean things like:</p><ul style="min-height:1.5em"><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Creating interfaces and APIs that give scientists and AI agents visibility into what's happening in the lab in real time</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Building custom AI agents and tooling that automate decisions across the experiment lifecycle, from protocol design to troubleshooting failed results</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Turning proprietary hardware into API-controllable devices that agents and software can operate programmatically</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Designing scheduling systems that coordinate dozens of lab instruments with complex dependency chains</p></li></ul><p style="min-height:1.5em">You'll own large areas of the product. We're a small team where individual engineers have large impact on what gets built and how.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em"><strong>What we're looking for</strong></p><ul style="min-height:1.5em"><li><p style="min-height:1.5em"><strong>Full-stack production experience.</strong> We use TypeScript, React, Node, Postgres, but what matters is you can work across the stack.</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em"><strong>Product instinct.</strong> You've shipped, watched users, iterated, and shipped again.</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em"><strong>Comfortable in ambiguity.</strong> You start from a goal, not a spec. You scope problems down, decide what to build and what to skip, and write your own plan when none exists.</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em"><strong>Builds with AI.</strong> You use AI tools heavily, but you have enough experience without them to know what good looks like.</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em"><strong>Curious about biology.</strong> No background required, but running real experiments in the physical world should excite you.</p></li></ul><p style="min-height:1.5em"></p><p style="min-height:1.5em"><strong>Application deadline</strong></p><p style="min-height:1.5em">We are reviewing applicants on a rolling basis.</p><p>Find more <a href="https://www.arbeitnow.co.uk/english-speaking-jobs">English Speaking Jobs in United Kingdom</a> on Arbeitnow</a>
