Product Engineer at YC S20 AI-native life sciences platform

You will architect a GxP execution system that unifies fragmented legacy tools like ELN and LIMS into a single, high-performance platform. By building critical primitives for automation and verifiable audit trails, you will help biotech and pharma companies reduce paperwork by 80% and accelerate life-saving drug launches. This is a high-ownership role for a systems-thinking product obsessionist.

• Architect and own critical primitives including data abstractions for life sciences, complex workflow engines, and verifiable audit trails.
• Design and implement AI-native interfaces that radically increase scientist productivity and automate 90% of quality review cycles.
• Lead weekly missions to identify the most critical platform objectives, defining solutions from first principles and shipping production-ready TypeScript code.

• You are a pathologically product-obsessed engineer who can balance high-level UI aesthetics with low-level systems architecture.
• You have a proven track record of shipping complex projects and possess strong systems-design instincts regardless of your specific tech stack.
• You thrive in high-standard, in-person environments and are a self-directed, first-principles thinker who values impact over bureaucratic process.

• Work on a mission-critical platform used by 50+ regulated companies including Beckman Coulter and Paradromics to save lives through faster therapy development.
• Join an elite, high-intensity YC S20 team where you have absolute ownership over entire platform areas and move from idea to production in days.
• Solve profoundly difficult systems-design problems at the intersection of AI, complex workflow automation, and rigorous regulatory compliance (GxP).
