Warp is the AI-driven U.S. chemistry CRO that turns AI-designed molecules into compounds drug discovery teams can test, in labs built for automation. Backed by Menlo Ventures.
About the role
Lead full-stack delivery of scientific workflows, from understanding user needs and defining scope through architecture, implementation, testing, deployment, and ongoing operation. Independently scope initiatives spanning multiple months and engineers. Write technical designs, identify dependencies and risks, and break the work into milestones that deliver useful software along the way.

What they're looking for
- You're an experienced full-stack engineer who has delivered and maintained production web applications, with substantial hands-on contributions to frontend interfaces, backend services, APIs, and data models
- You've personally led significant projects from an ambiguous problem to production adoption, with impact across a product area or team. You can explain what you owned and implemented, the tradeoffs you made, and how the work improved user or business outcomes
- You've served as a technical lead for work involving multiple engineers over multiple months: defining the approach, sequencing delivery, coordinating dependencies, and staying accountable through launch and follow-up
- You have strong software engineering foundations and have designed systems for reliability, performance, and maintainability. You can point to architectural decisions you've made and how those decisions held up in production
- You demonstrate product sense and sound judgment about user experience. You've worked directly with users, identified the underlying problem, and made scope and interaction decisions that helped them accomplish their work
- You communicate technical plans and tradeoffs clearly to engineers and non-engineers, and have helped other engineers deliver better work through code review, technical guidance, and mentoring
More about this role
At Warp Sciences, our mission is to help the world discover new medicines faster—and build the capacity to do it here in America. We bring AI, robotics, and life sciences together in automated labs that design, run, and learn from experiments, with each experiment making the next one better. We’re not developing drugs of our own. We’re building the infrastructure for the people who do.
We're looking for an experienced full-stack software engineer to take technical ownership of the software that connects people to our autonomous laboratories. In this product engineering role, you'll own staff- and customer-facing workflows from scientific objectives and experiment planning through execution and results, with hands-on responsibility for the frontend, backend services, APIs, and data models.
You'll combine AI-native full-stack engineering with strong product sense: work directly with chemists, researchers, operators, and customers, decide what to build, and carry it through to reliable production use. We're looking for someone who has already led substantial software initiatives and can turn an open-ended problem into a technical plan, ship it, and improve it based on real use.
