Junior​/Mid Software Engineer

About Mytos

You rarely get the chance to change an entire industry. But that's the position we find ourselves in. Join us, and you’ll unleash scientists, accelerate their research and help get cures to patients sooner.

We’ve developed machines to fully automate human cell production - the most manual process in Biotech. Cells are used to discover and develop new drugs, and now they're being used to cure diseases like Parkinson’s and age-related blindness. Mytos will impact cure development across the board.

We're live in multibillion dollar biotechs on both coasts of the US, and raised $19m to expand into the market faster, and accelerate our development! Next year, neurons grown on our machines will be going into Parkinson patient brains.

We’ve assembled a world‑class team to take on this challenge, with ex‑Dyson engineers and Nature‑published scientists working hand‑in‑hand. You can learn more about your potential Mytos teammates here:
Team

Mytos is backed by Y Combinator, the most successful startup program in the world which produced companies such as Air Bnb, Dropbox, and Ginkgo Bioworks.

As a Junior/Mid level Software Engineer (depending on experience) you’ll be contributing across all areas of our full‑stack product based in the Cloud, and our IoT devices that interface with Mytos hardware to manufacture cells. You'll contribute across a variety of technologies and paradigms, leaning how to research, design, implement, maintain, and evolve product functionality giving users powerful tools to customise and monitor cell growth protocols.

Your work will directly impact how quickly and effectively new therapies and research tools can be developed, ultimately helping patients worldwide.

• Develop and improve our frontend applications using Type Script, React, and Graph
  
  QL to create intuitive interfaces for complex biological workflows.
