About the role
You'll be the first dedicated product designer on the team, working alongside our current designer (who has been splitting design work with engineering), software engineers, automation engineers, and the founders. The right person will grow into owning design end-to-end.
What they're looking for
- You have 3+ years professional experience designing software products
- You can run a project end-to-end: research, sketches, prototypes, polished UI, and a clean handoff to engineers
- Fluency in Figma and adjacent tools
- You're comfortable with multi-discipline technical complexity. You should want to talk to our engineers and learn from our scientists
More about this role
Few fields touch human life as directly as biology does. But the pace of biological research is limited by how slowly and inconsistently experiments can be run by hand. We're building the infrastructure to make experimentation faster, more reproducible, and available to any scientist with questions worth asking.
For decades we've had incredible robotic tools capable of executing experiments without countless tiring hours of pipetting by hand and these instruments are more precise and accurate than manual methods. However, the engineering and validation time required for automating these machines means they are rarely used with the exception of the most repetitive, high throughput research tasks.
Our team has built a user-friendly editor and compiler that ingests a scientist's protocol description, converts it into a structured high-level format, and then automatically compiles it into executable code for these robots. See a demo here: https://tinyurl.com/mrx63phb
