This up-and-coming, VC-funded start-up is developing truly innovative technology and is currently laying the framework for future platform applications. Their technology is looking to impact biotech research, with longer term goals to impact healthcare / consumer markets.

They are currently looking for a person to join their growing team and take a pivotal role as their Head of Software. The role is well suited to someone who currently leads a small engineering team and collaborates on multidisciplinary projects. Key technology areas are: instrumentation control; data analytics; Android-based user interface; and cloud-based web services.

Background requirements:

• Having graduated in software, physics or engineering, you will have started your career as a software engineer. It is likely you have already worked for a few companies, gaining different skills and perspective in different areas.
• As a senior member of the team, you will have managed and led projects, and currently be leading a small team (up to 10 people). You will probably be still hands-on (coding in Java or C++), but will also have broad understandings of several areas: instrumentation control; data analytics; Android-based user interface; or cloud-based web services.
• You will know how to build a collaborative team, and be able to put in place good software development processes.
• You will have excellent communication skills – able to speak with the technical team (leading from the front) as well as other stakeholders.
• Experience working in a tech start-up would be desirable.
