Software Engineer

Role Description

At BioRender, we are accelerating the world’s ability to discover, learn, and communicate science faster through visuals. Our vision is to make BioRender the place where humans read biology—translating human and AI-generated data into scientifically accurate, human-understandable visuals.

What you'll be doing:

• Build features end-to-end:
  • Design, implement, and ship user-facing features across frontend and backend — from the first prototype to production.
• Collaborate across product, design, and engineering:
  • Translate ideas into high-quality experiences by working closely with the people who define, design, and build the product.
• Prototype and iterate quickly:
  • Explore solutions through rapid experimentation, using AI tools where helpful to accelerate development.
• Work on AI-powered features:
  • Build, evaluate, and iterate on AI agents and workflows, with a focus on reliability and real user impact.
• Improve core systems:
  • Contribute to the reliability, scalability, and performance of the systems that power BioRender.

Qualifications

• Strong fundamentals:
  • You've built and shipped software — through work, school, or personal projects — and you understand how the pieces fit together across the stack.
• Product mindset:
  • You care about building things that are actually useful. You think about the user, not just the implementation.
• Ownership:
  • You follow through. When something is yours, you see it to done — and you speak up when something's off.
• Passion for AI:
  • You're excited about how AI tools can improve products and workflows, and you're willing to experiment.
• Fast learner:
  • You pick up new technologies independently and don't need to have used a specific stack before to be effective.
• Clear communicator:
  • You work well with others across design, product, and engineering, and you know how to ask good questions.

Requirements

• Nice to have:
  • Background in science or experience building products for researchers.
