Invert is working to automate the design, execution, and analysis of bioprocesses. Scientists increasingly use bioprocessing to invent new therapies to combat disease, make new biomaterials to solve the environmental crisis, and produce essential chemicals cleanly. The tools we build together at Invert will be crucial to their success.
You will be joining a fast-growing team of creative and talented engineers, data scientists, biologists, and more. We're backed by experienced investors including Y Combinator and CEOs from industry. We're just getting started, so joining our team will mean having a large impact on a very important problem space.
What you’ll be doing
As an engineer on the Integrations Engineering Team, you will work on the software that connects the Invert database to data sources. Invert’s data sources include SaaS cloud software, desktop applications, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), sensors attached to bioreactors, and more. This is true “fuller stack engineering” and involves code that runs on-premise at Invert’s customers, in the cloud, and in the browser.
