Role summary
Andson Biotech is seeking a highly independent and self-motivated Full-Stack Software/Controls Engineer to be the sole software engineer at their seed-stage startup. The role involves developing and maintaining full-stack projects, with a deep focus on React and Python, and significant UI/UX design experience. The engineer will own the software backbone of the company's microfluidic platform for mass spectrometry applications, supporting current product deployment and long-term initiatives like in situ QC monitoring and third-party system integration. Experience with embedded C++, SQL, Linux, and nginx is required, with preferred experience in firmware development, electrical/PCB design, and resource-constrained environments.

**Required:**
* Technologies: React, Python, FastAPI, embedded C++, SQL, Linux, nginx
* Deep experience across the stack, especially React & Python
* Very high ownership: You have created and maintained fullstack projects entirely on your own.
* Significant UI/UX design experience: You know when the flow is a little off, why, and how to fix it.
* Versatile when building: You can get things shipped quickly, but also realize when it's best to take a step back and refactor first.
* Highly independent & self-driven: You will be the only software engineer at the company.
**Preferred:**
* Experience designing ergonomic interfaces for physical machines
* You have developed software for single board computers or in similarly resource-constrained environments
* Firmware development experience (Arduino)
* Knowledge of electrical & PCB design
* Great at using LLMs to learn new things quickly
**More Info:**
Andson Biotech is developing a microfluidic platform enabling rapid sample cleanup for mass spectrometry applications. Mass spectrometry is a gold-standard chemical analysis tool, but it remains limited in utility due to the complex workflows associated with going from raw sample to analysis. Our flagship product, the DynaCHIP, enables simple, on-demand mass spectrometric analysis with easy-to-use interfaces that democratize mass spectrometry from lab to market.
Andson Biotech was spun out of Georgia Tech and is supported by Y Combinator and Merck Digital Sciences Studio. We are a seed-stage startup, so every role has the chance for growth. Apply even if you aren't a perfect fit - we can't know you're awesome unless we meet you.
**Job Description**
We're seeking a self-motivated software engineer capable of working quickly with our hardware engineering team to develop a streamlined Currently, we have a commercially viable product and are looking to deploy the first 10 units. This engineer will support the current units used for application development and external demos as well as customer deployed units. Ideally, you are excited at the idea of building a tool that lots of people can use to do great science.
We expect the ideal candidate to have extensive experience in Python and breadboarding for prototypes. Experience putting together user interfaces and integrating UIs with python or other “more robust” codes for front-end applications is a must. We need the candidate to “hit the ground running”.
**What you'll do**:
* Own the backbone of a product: You will be the sole engineer working on the software of our device as it enters the market.
* Build internal analytics, logging, and testing tools as needed for bulletproof product reliability & streamlined microfabrication process.
* Work with internal users & customers to create a coherent and smooth user experience.
**Immediate/Short Term Work (60-90 days)**
Work with team to understand current system architecture including firmware, software, and hardware. Implement simple changes to sensors (e.g., pressure) and control routines (e.g., UI/UX) to support future improvements. Support deployed systems and demo systems (that means you will have to help us troubleshoot in the field remotely).
**Long Term Initiatives (6-12 months & beyond)**
• In situ device QC monitoring (e.g., via electrical or pressure-based sensing)
• Smart manifold R&D (internal or in coordination with vendor)
• Autosampler integration
• Interfacing control software with 3rd party systems (e.g., Waters/Thermo Fisher API calls)
