Full Job Description
What you'll be doing:

  • Build features end-to-end: Design, implement, and ship user-facing features across frontend and backend - from the first prototype to production.
  • Collaborate across product, design, and engineering: Translate ideas into high-quality experiences by working closely with the people who define, design, and build the product.
  • Prototype and iterate quickly: Explore solutions through rapid experimentation, using AI tools where helpful to accelerate development.
  • Work on AI-powered features: Build, evaluate, and iterate on AI agents and workflows, with a focus on reliability and real user impact.
  • Improve core systems: Contribute to the reliability, scalability, and performance of the systems that power BioRender.


Our ideal fit brings:

  • Strong fundamentals: You've built and shipped software - through work, school, or personal projects - and you understand how the pieces fit together across the stack.
  • Product mindset: You care about building things that are actually useful. You think about the user, not just the implementation.
  • Ownership: You follow through. When something is yours, you see it to done - and you speak up when something's off.
  • Passion for AI: You're excited about how AI tools can improve products and workflows, and you're willing to experiment.
  • Fast learner: You pick up new technologies independently and don't need to have used a specific stack before to be effective.
  • Clear communicator: You work well with others across design, product, and engineering, and you know how to ask good questions.


Nice to have:

  • Background in science or experience building products for researchers


You could be working on problems like:

  • Scaling a highly interactive web application: Build and optimize performance for our complex, graphics-heavy canvas, ensuring a smooth and responsive experience.
  • Managing and visualizing large volumes of data: Work with rich scientific and usage data to enable insights, improve performance, and support new AI-driven features.
  • Evolving a distributed architecture: Design, build, and maintain systems across multiple backend and frontend services, ensuring reliability, scalability, and security as we grow.
  • Delivering delightful user experiences: Collaborate with design and product teams to craft intuitive interfaces that make advanced scientific visualization accessible to everyone.
  • Bridging human and AI collaboration: Help shape the next generation of tools that translate complex scientific research into human-understandable visuals using AI.
  • Building the next generation of BioRender products: Contribute to a growing suite of tools-including our Editor, Graphing, and Presentations products - that empower scientists to communicate and collaborate more effectively than ever before.
