We are a Public Benefit Corporation driven by purpose and shaped by values. We hire systems thinkers who are motivated by our purpose, share our values, and have the skills to advance our mission.
About the role
At System, engineers own, design, and deliver highly scalable software alongside a world-class team — and we are always interested in meeting people ready to make an impact on the future of science and data.
As a Software Engineer at System, you will:
•
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to design, implement, and maintain scalable software systems
•
Build resilient infrastructure for serving data at scale and with high availability
•
Drive technical planning and contribute to the overall engineering strategy
•
Develop and maintain continuous integration and deployment processes
•
Work on innovative solutions for advanced and challenging data and systems problems
•
Contribute to code reviews, unit testing, and development strategies in an agile environment
•
Influence culture, recruit new engineers, and help shape a rapidly growing startup
The ideal candidate has:
•
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field
•
3+ years of experience in software engineering
•
Strong experience with at least one modern programming language such as Python, TypeScript, or Go
•
Experience designing and building REST APIs or distributed systems
•
A deep understanding of systems design, data structures, and algorithms
•
Knowledge of cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and infrastructure as code
•
Ability to be flexible, rational, and open-minded
Bonus if you have:
•
Experience with containerization technologies such as Docker or Kubernetes
•
Knowledge of microservice architecture and design principles
•
Experience deploying, monitoring, and supporting production services
•
Familiarity with data migrations while maintaining service availability
•
Experience working with knowledge graphs or graph databases
You might be a fit if you:
•
Think in systems — mapping feedback loops, interdependencies, and second-order effects comes naturally to you
•
Are motivated by purpose-driven work, particularly at the intersection of technology and healthcare
•
Believe technology should be a force for good and are drawn to the Public Benefit Corporation model
•
Hold yourself and your work to a values-first standard, not just a deliverables-first one
•
Lead with first principles and are comfortable questioning assumptions others take for granted
•
See complexity as an invitation, not an obstacle — you thrive when problems are messy and interconnected
•
Care about the downstream effects of what you build — on users, on systems, on society
•
Operate with intellectual humility — always learning, always open to being wrong
Compensation:
Commensurate with experience and level.
