Scientific Software Engineer (Lab Integration)
CuspAI is seeking a Scientific Software Engineer to build and operate systems connecting its AI platform to physical laboratories worldwide. The role involves designing APIs, integrating lab instruments and LIMS/ELN systems, and ensuring reliable, secure data exchange between AI agents and partner labs. Requires hands-on lab automation experience and strong Python backend engineering skills.
What you'll do
- Help shape how we connect to partner labs around the world, accounting for different levels of automation and AI-readiness, then design, build and operate the services that send experiment requests from our AI agents and reliably bring results back.
- Build APIs and data models (e.g. FastAPI, Pydantic) for bidirectional lab-to-cloud data exchange.
- Integrate with lab instruments, robotic platforms, LIMS/ELN systems and scheduling software, translating between disparate formats and CuspAI's data platform.
