Labric
The data layer for scientific research
Founding Software Engineer
About the role
The work
Build our core platform and help scientists make the most of their data:
- Build core data infrastructure: ingestion, normalization, storage, indexing
- Ship across the stack (Python backend, TypeScript/Next.js frontend)
- Design schemas that make heterogeneous lab data queryable
- Work with scientists to turn domain problems into working software
- Own reliability and make good tradeoffs on quality vs. speed
You
- Strong in Python and TypeScript
- Know databases deeply (not just how to use them, how they work)
- Comfortable independently solving problems end-to-end
- Curious about science and how labs actually operate
- CS degree or equivalent
- [optional] Have experience with scientific data, Django, Next.js, GCP, SQL, early-stage startups
About the interview
- 30 minute phone screener
- 45 minute technical conversation
- 1 day paid work trial and reference checks
About Labric
Effective use of AI will transform scientific research, but most lab data is stuck in silos. Scientists can't ask basic questions across their own experiments. Even the best tools can't help with what they can't see.
Labric builds the missing layer. We connect instruments, spreadsheets, and other data sources to a central platform, transforming data into useful visualizations and metrics. Scientists use it for cross-experimental analysis, visibility into colleagues' work, and application of the latest AI models.
We're working with companies, academic labs, and DOE national labs, and demand is outpacing our team. This is a rare chance to rebuild the tools the world's best scientists use to create tomorrow's technology.
