About the role

The work

Build our core platform and help scientists make the most of their data:

  • Build core data infrastructure: ingestion, normalization, storage, indexing
  • Ship across the stack (Python backend, TypeScript/Next.js frontend)
  • Design schemas that make heterogeneous lab data queryable
  • Work with scientists to turn domain problems into working software
  • Own reliability and make good tradeoffs on quality vs. speed

You

  • Strong in Python and TypeScript
  • Know databases deeply (not just how to use them, how they work)
  • Comfortable independently solving problems end-to-end
  • Curious about science and how labs actually operate
  • CS degree or equivalent
  • [optional] Have experience with scientific data, Django, Next.js, GCP, SQL, early-stage startups

About Labric

We started Labric after seeing the same problem everywhere. World-class research labs are running on outdated data infrastructure. Experimental context lives on post-its. Scientists email files to themselves for analysis. More time is spent wrangling data than doing science.

As AI becomes central to research, the labs with clean, structured, connected data will be the ones that actually use it. Labric automatically captures and structures your instrument data, giving researchers AI-ready datasets and decision-makers complete visibility.
