Software Engineer

Essential: Experience developing software that interfaces with laboratory instruments or scientific equipment within a life sciences, biotechnology, laboratory technology or scientific instrumentation environment.

Summar

yI'm working with an early-stage scientific technology business developing software and instrumentation used within advanced research environments. They're looking to add a Software Engineer to a small multidisciplinary team, working across scientific software development, user interfaces, hardware integration and data analysis

.
The role would suit someone who enjoys solving complex technical problems, working closely with scientists and engineers, and contributing to products that support cutting-edge research. Given the size of the team, there is plenty of opportunity to take ownership, influence technical direction and get involved in a broad range of project
