The Senior Software Engineer (Full Stack) designs, develops, and operates software that connects Emulate's scientific instruments with cloud services and user-facing applications to deliver reliable features that drive scientific workflows and insights.
Requirements
- Experience building systems that interact with cloud services and APIs and deliver production web applications.
- Strong engineering fundamentals and SDLC practices (requirements, design, testing, CI/CD, observability, incident response).
- Working knowledge of software security requirements and common frameworks; ability to design with security in mind.
- Experience in TypeScript, React web applications.
- Experience in Go services/APIs (e.g., Echo), REST/gRPC; event-driven patterns.
