Job Description: RoleWho you areThis role is ideal for someone who thrives in ambiguity, enjoys taking ideas from 0→1, and is comfortable working across the stack—from backend services and data pipelines to simulation infrastructure and frontend architectureWe’re looking for engineers who are energized by building foundational systems, owning large pieces of the product, and solving hard problems that blend AI, industrial modeling, and complex data flowsStrong proficiency in Python and TypeScript/React, with the ability to build new features that span the entire stackThoughtful approach to system architecture and software design, with a track record of making pragmatic decisions in ambiguous environmentsExperience shipping production software at an early-stage startup, ideally owning projects end-to-end from design through deploymentClear written and verbal communicator, able to distill complex ideas, align the team on design decisions, and document your workHigh level of ownership and bias toward action—you default to making progress, unblocking yourself, and moving things forwardAuthorization to work in the United StatesDesirableExperience with our specific stack:Frontend: React, Next.js, Redux, TailwindCSS, VercelBackend: FastAPI, PostgreSQL, Pydantic, Supabase, Lang[chain|graph]Practical experience building applications with LLMsHands-on experience with machine learning (e.g PyTorch)Background or interest in scientific, mathematical, or engineering domains (e.g., biology, chemistry, physics, mechanical/chemical engineering)Degree in Computer Science, or a solid understanding of algorithms and data structuresWhat the job involvesAs one of the earliest engineers at Roebling, you’ll help take the product from a working MVP to a robust, extensible, enterprise-grade platform used by engineering and operations teams on real industrial projectsYou’ll collaborate closely with the founders and early customers, shaping not only the technical architecture but also the engineering culture, product direction, and standards we’ll scale withSome days you’ll be rapidly prototyping new workflows for user feedback; other days you’ll be designing core systems that must be correct, performant, and maintainable for yearsDesigning an AI agent that explores a project’s design space by running thousands of simulation scenarios in parallel, evaluating tradeoffs to CAPEX/OPEX, throughput, and carbon intensityBuilding ingestion pipelines to bring public utility data, equipment specifications, and financial datasets into our data warehouseOptimizing the simulation engine for speed and stability, including algorithmic improvements and hardware accelerationSetting up CI/CD pipelines, monitoring, testing frameworks, and other systems that help our team move fasterShare this jobReport a problem with this jobHide companyView 1 more job at Synonym BiotechnologiesCompanyCompany benefitsComprehensive medical, dental and vision coverageDaily lunch allowanceBeautiful offices in Berkeley (SF Bay Area) and SoHo (NYC)Funding (2 rounds)Aug 2024$1.9mGRANTOct 2022$6.3mSEEDTotal funding: $8.2mOur takeAs an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional farming, biomanufacturing of food proteins is a key part of humanity's future. But although the science is ready, the infrastructure is not, and the cost of production at scale is preventing revolutionary and essential products from reaching the supply chain.Synonym exists to support biomanufacturing firms in building production facilities that will allow their products to compete with and outperform traditional sources of protein. With global food production responsible for about a third of carbon emissions (the majority of which is in the production of proteins), this work is vital.Synonym aims to develop standardized designs for biofermentation facilities that its customers will be able to use instead of making their own at vast expense. This proposal has seen the company raise considerable funds that have supported its development so far. It has also announced a 32,000L+ fermentation scale-up facility in Illinois, in partnership with Primient, will be coming in early 2026.KirstyCompany Specialist at Welcome to the Jungle
