The Role
We are seeking a Junior Full Stack Software Engineer to join the team building the software behind Chemify's robotic synthesis platform. You will work across the stack on real features - from backend services to the interfaces scientists use - with senior engineers close at hand to review your work and help you grow fast.
What sets this role apart is the platform itself: a rare early-career seat where the software you write helps physically make molecules, not just move data around.
If learning fast across the full stack on a real-world platform sounds like the right shape of job for you, we'd love to welcome you to our team.
Key Responsibilities
• Build and ship full-stack features under the guidance of senior engineers.
• Fix bugs, write tests, and improve tooling across backend services and web front-ends.
• Learn how the platform turns experiment definitions into robotic execution, and contribute to it.
• Take part in code reviews, design discussions - growing your ownership over time.
About You
You are early in your career but serious about the craft - curious, quick to learn, and energised by hard problems. You ask good questions, act on feedback, and want to grow alongside engineers who will push you.
We expect you to bring:
• 0-2 years of software experience (internships, projects, or a strong portfolio count).
• Working knowledge of at least one backend language ([Python/C/C++)
• Strong fundamentals and a genuine appetite to learn quickly.
• Clear communication and comfort asking questions and acting on feedback.
Beneficial Skills
• A degree in computer science, engineering, or a related field - or equivalent self-taught proof.
• Any exposure to robotics, hardware, lab automation, or scientific computing.
