About the role
Build the technical backbone for labs that run themselves. This is a hands-on backend and infrastructure role. You will write production code, make architecture choices, and own systems from design through deployment, monitoring, and incident response.
Why Scispot
- Scispot began after my brother Guru and I (Satya) watched someone they loved run out of time while slow, manual lab processes delayed a promising treatment. We are building Scispot so life-saving science can move at software speed.
- Biotech & Lifescience teams should not have to choose between moving fast and keeping their data clean, connected, traceable, and ready for AI.
- We are building the digital backbone for scientific discovery. Scispot connects lab operations, instrument data, scientific workflows, and AI-driven insights in one platform. This becomes the memory layer for lifescience teams for their agents.
- Your code will not optimize clicks for another consumer app. It will help scientists run experiments faster, trace samples accurately, automate repetitive work, and move treatments closer to patients.
- This is a rare chance to build infrastructure at the intersection of software, AI, data, and biology.
Today, Scispot supports more than 100 labs, 250+ instrument types, over 1,000 experiments each month, and millions of samples. After raising an $8M Series A, we are expanding the engineering team to build the reliable platform beneath the next generation of lab automation and AI.
The role
We are looking for a senior backend and infrastructure engineer who treats production as a product. You will own the systems beneath Scispot: backend services,...
In 2005, Y Combinator developed a new model of startup funding. Four times a year we invest $500k in a select group of startups. They move to San Francisco for three months, where we work intensively with them to get the company into the best possible shape, before they present to a large audience of investors on Demo Day. But YC doesn’t end on Demo Day. We and the YC alumni network continue to help founders for the life of their company, and beyond.
