Responsibilities
- Define standardized methods for recording samples, conditions, and measurements across laboratory teams.
- Build ingestion tooling that makes standardized data capture easy for scientists.
- Design and operate pipelines moving data from instruments, ELN/LIMS, and bench workflows into BigQuery and Kernel.
- Implement data quality checks, lineage, versioning, and FAIR-aligned data stewardship.
- Create schemas linking molecule designs to constructs, cell pools and clones, bioprocesses, and experimental measurements.
- Deliver clean, ML-ready datasets to modeling and computational biology teams.
- Build APIs and backend services that expose laboratory results in Kernel and KernelAI.
- Develop deterministic and agentic reporting, analysis tools, and dashboards with computational and data scientists.
Requirements
- 8+ years building production data systems; the posting notes 5+ years for Senior candidates.
- Experience owning the architecture of a data platform, beyond building individual pipelines.
- Strong Python and SQL skills.
- Experience shipping backend services and APIs, not only batch jobs.
- Experience working in or alongside a biotech wet lab and understanding messy laboratory data.
- Ability to turn ambiguous, first-of-its-kind problems into systems scientists adopt.
- Preferred experience collaborating closely with scientists and working across laboratory and software engineering functions.
Benefits
- Work on a small team where software engineers and biologists share a floor.
- See work reflected in real experiments within weeks rather than quarters.
- Grow with an evolving organization focused on biological engineering and synthetic biology.
- Join a culture emphasizing diversity, autonomy, velocity, and concrete outcomes.
About Asimov
Asimov builds a mammalian synthetic biology platform—combining wet-lab tools, computer-aided design software, and machine learning—to program living cells for biologics and gene therapy development. It partners with biotech and pharmaceutical companies to design and optimize cell lines and manufacturing processes, offering software and R&D services around parts, circuits, and process development. Founded in 2017 and headquartered in Boston, it is privately held.
