Full Stack Development Lead – Life Sciences

ABOUT US

We are a US-based startup building next-generation software platforms for regulated life sciences manufacturing and laboratories (MES, LES, LIMS, Digital Logbooks, AI-driven insights). Our products operate in GxP-regulated environments, requiring strong engineering discipline, validation readiness, and security-by-design.

Here, you won’t just be a cog in the machine — you’ll be part of building the machine. If you thrive in environments where you can wear multiple hats, roll up your sleeves, and see your work through from start to finish, this is your opportunity to make a real impact.

We’re creating a culture of builders, thinkers, and problem-solvers who aren’t afraid to challenge the status quo. Your voice will be heard, your ideas will matter, and your contributions will shape the future of our product and the industry.

We’re growing fast, and looking for a hands-on Full Stack Development Lead – Life Sciences who’s ready to wear multiple hats and shape the future of digital pharma.
