System Architect (Remote) – Artificial

At Artificial, we are building a first-of-its-kind automation software platform to empower labs to go take their scientific ideas to reliable results faster and more efficiently.  With our platform, labs can focus on their next idea, whether that’s developing gene therapies or scaling COVID-19 diagnostic testing, not their automation.

Artificial’s team is comprised of experts in life sciences, robotics, automation, and data, who have built digital tools and platforms for Space X ground control, CERN hadron collider, LEGO Mindstorms, and more. As we support and deploy our platform to customers, we’re looking for motivated people who are passionate about solving real-world problems and ready to make an impact.

We are looking for our new system architect to define and drive our technical vision, ensure the adoption and utilization of best practices for at-scale cloud-based orchestration and data storage combined with robotic automation and human augmentation all in the pursuit of optimal lab automation.

In this role, you will be selecting new technologies and frameworks, but working with existing systems based on VUE, Node, Python, Go, gRPC/protobufs, streams (REDIS, nats,) docker, and a myriad of other frameworks.

This role can be based remotely.
