Sobre este puesto de Senior Software Engineer - Cloud en Nuclera

Nuclera · Presencial · Cambridge, England, United Kingdom

Nuclera is a venture-backed, founder-driven biotech company headquartered in Cambridge, UK with significant operations in Boston, USA. Our purpose is to improve human health by making proteins accessible to life science researchers around the world.

In 2024, we launched eProtein Discovery™ - a breakthrough protein expression, characterization, and purification platform, consisting of cloud-based software and a lab-based instrument (with proprietary cartridges and consumables). Since then, we have established a growing installed base in North America, Europe and Asia, receiving numerous awards and customer accolades.

We are looking for an experienced full-stack software engineer to work on our customer-facing cloud and instrument software as well as the internal tools that support our in-house protein screening services. You’ll be involved in the full software development lifecycle, including working closely with biologists and other stakeholders to define use-cases and requirements, translating those requirements into technical designs, implementing those designs in code and writing tests to verify its correctness. No prior knowledge of biology is necessary, but curiosity and an eagerness to learn is critical.

Sobre Nuclera

Nuclera mission is to accelerate discovery by providing researchers rapid, easy access to the highest-quality functional proteins essential for drug discovery research. Our eProtein Discovery™ benchtop system combines unique cell-free expression systems, novel digital microfluidics, and robust screening data to empower scientists to perform multiplex protein screening, characterization, and small-scale expression in-house

By providing clear guidance on which protein has the best chance of success from the start, eProtein Discovery™ reduces the time, cost, and uncertainty traditionally associated with protein expression and purification. Researchers can generate soluble, purified proteins, including challenging membrane proteins, for downstream functional testing in under 48 hours, significantly accelerating workflows compared with months-long cell-based methods.

Founded in 2013 by PhD students at the University of Cambridge, Nuclera has expanded its presence to Cambridge, UK, and Boston, MA. With a team of over 100 employees, we remain dedicated to our vision of making proteins easily accessible and contributing to advancements in human health.
