Transcriptic, a robotic cloud biology lab, is hiring scientists and engineers

Transcriptic is a robotic cloud laboratory: we're "Amazon Web Services" for the life sciences. Rather than carry out wet-lab experiments by hand, researchers can code up their experimental protocols and then run them in Transcriptic's highly automated 'biocenter'. Customers have no upfront capital costs and pay for only what they use.

If you are a:

- life science PhD with a pretty solid engineering background (eg a bioengineering background), and a general belief that you can build it, or,

- an experienced front-end developer familiar with tools like CoffeeScript, React, Backbone, Rails, and d3

we very much want to talk to you.

Life science research today is incredibly slow, error-prone, monotonous, and expensive with researchers spending many hours a day every day just moving small volumes of liquids from one place to another. We're building a long-term company to completely change the way life science research and development is done.

We're funded by IA Ventures, Data Collective, Google Ventures, Founders Fund, AME Cloud Ventures, among others.

Transcriptic's stack runs from bacteria growing in petri dishes through mechanical, electrical and industrial design up to user-facing data analysis tools in the browser.

Things you might be interested at doing at Transcriptic:

- Thinking about how such a remote lab should work from a scientific perspective and coordinating with engineering to make it happen,

- Partnering with customers to help them succeed with their research on our platform,

- Working with customers and internal users to design and build tools for scientists to express an experiment they want to run,

- Writing drivers for in-house and/or off-the-shelf robotic hardware to integrate with our automated work cell,

- Solving a complex and deep planning and scheduling problem and optimizing workcell efficiency,

- Building internal tools for controlling and monitoring a warehouse full of robots,

- Working on the web interfaces used by customer to manage their inventory, execute runs, design protocols, and visualize their data.
