Our mission is to redefine how materials are sensed, understood, and designed across industries.\nWhy Join Us?\nWe’re Apoha, the team behind the Liquid Brain®!\nWe're pioneering Sensory Intelligence by decoding molecular behaviour. The first step in our journey to giving machines the senses they never had? Building a Liquid Brain® platform capable of improving life-saving drugs, by assessing the developability of antibodies earlier (those proteins our immune system makes to fight off bacteria and viruses).\nWe’re a group of scientists, engineers, and operators who’ve built and launched successful products at Goldman Sachs, Apple, Amazon, and published 50+ high impact research papers across biophysics, materials science, and thermodynamics-and been featured byScientific Americanas one of “13 Discoveries That Could Change Everything”.\nAt Apoha, science isn’t just the foundation of our product-it’s woven into our every day. Whether it’s a journal club over coffee, a spirited scientific discussion unravelling a complex problem, or a full-company Quarter Demo Day that sparks wild new ideas, we’ve built a place where academic rigor meets startup energy.\nOur team is small, flat, and talent-dense across disciplines. We gravitate towards people who are collaborative, curious, and take pride in owning their work end-to-end. We enjoy spirited debate, thinking way beyond the state of the art, and building products that could change how we understand biological materials-forever. We believe in the power of on-site collaboration, and our UK-based team works together in our London office to foster creativity, speed, and connection.\nOur investors include Redalpine, Acequia Capital, Seedcamp, Nucleus Capital, Plug and Play, Wilbe and others-and we’re just getting started.\nWhat We Offer\nCompetitive compensation + stock options\nPrivate health insurance\nBi-weekly team lunches + regular socials\nThe rare chance toshape the DNA of a company\nAccess to cutting-edge science, a stellar team, and the chance to change the game\nAt Apoha, we are committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace. We strongly encourage applications from candidates of all backgrounds, including those from underrepresented groups in tech and science.\n The Role\nAt Apoha, software engineering isn’t just about writing code - it’s about creating the foundation for a breakthrough technology to thrive. As an engineer here, you’ll help shape how the world’s top scientists and researchers interact with the Liquid Brain®. This is a rare opportunity to leave your fingerprint on a domain-defining platform, working in a fast-paced, intellectually rigorous, and mission-driven environment.\nWe’re looking for aFull Stack Engineer who thrives on autonomy, ownership, and creative problem-solving. This role is ideal for someone who wants to help define the architecture, culture, and best practices of a growing team - someone who’s just as excited by writing clean, scalable code as they are by collaborating with scientists to bring a fundamentally new technology to life.\nWhat you'll do\nOwn and evolve major parts of our software and hardware control stack -from architecture to implementation-ensuring reliability, performance, ease of use, and seamless operation of our Liquid Brain system.\nDesign and build user interfaces and backend services (Next.js, Django, Postgres) that make interacting with complex hardware systems and multimodal data analysis tasks simple, intuitive, and robust.\nWork hands-on with our hardware, using real devices to test, validate, and refine control workflows, automation logic, and system integrations.\nRoot-cause and resolve issues across the entire stack, from hardware drivers to APIs, task management, data analysis pipeline and more.\nCollaborate closely with hardware, scientific, and data teams to translate experimental workflows and engineering constraints into high-quality product features.\nHelp shape the engineering culture by pushing for clarity, simplicity, and technical rigor as we scale the platform.\nWhat We're Looking For\nExperience building software that interacts with hardware-instrument control, robotics, automation systems, lab devices, edge devices, or similar.\nA strong full-stack engineering foundation (front-end + backend + APIs + databases), with the ability to ship features end-to-end.\nStrong sense of agency, resourcefulness, and ownership is absolutely essential - you care deeply about both the what and the how.\nProven experience in atleast a few of the following areas - designing scalable services, cloud infrastructure, API design and implementation, database design, and front-end frameworks\nCuriosity for scientific workflows, new technologies, and solving problems at the intersection of software and physical systems.\nBonus: exposure to Python, Django, PostgreSQL, AWS, Kubernetes and/or containerized deployments, nextJS, React -but we care more about your mindset than the exact tech stack you have previously worked on.\nHow To Apply - Show Us What You’ve Got\nWe’ve designed an interactive challenge to kick off the application.\nTo get started, apply via the form & send an empty POST request to this endpoint - api/v2/external-tests/hello-apoha at the URL - https://api-v2.test.appapohacom\nWe will get back to you to schedule the first technical interview with our team shortly after reviewing your submission!
