Frontend Software Engineer

We're looking for a skilled Frontend Developer with expertise in TypeScript and React to build and enhance the cutting-edge design and analysis tools behind our revolutionary eProtein Discovery platform. Join us in shaping the future of protein prototyping technology!

Nuclera is a venture-backed, founder-driven biotech company headquartered in Cambridge, UK with significant operations in Boston, USA. The company's mission is to improve human health by making proteins accessible. We are beginning this mission through the launch of our eProtein Discovery platform. eProtein Discovery is a breakthrough protein expression, characterization, and purification technology, consisting of a lab-based benchtop instrument, cloud-based software and proprietary cartridges and consumables. The goal is to enable rapid protein access to life science researchers around the world.

We are looking for an experienced frontend or full-stack software engineer to join our team of engineers working on both the cloud-based and on-instrument software used by our customers to design and execute experiments on the eProtein Discovery platform. You'll be involved in the full software development lifecycle, including gathering requirements from biologists and other stakeholders, translating those requirements into UI designs and working with backend engineers to implement those designs in code.
