| Senior Software Developer (Bioprocess Automation) | Hybrid South San Francisco, CA | $180k–$210k + equity
We build cloud-connected bioreactor systems that let biotech companies design, run, and analyze upstream bioprocess experiments faster. You’ll own software that automates and controls bioreactors, instruments, and analyzers, working across the stack from embedded/edge control loops (pH, DO, temperature, agitation, feeding strategies) up to cloud-native data and workflow apps.
We’re looking for someone with ~8+ years combined experience in bioprocess/automation + software engineering, strong Python and Docker/IaC skills, and experience interfacing with physical systems. You’ll collaborate closely with scientists, process engineers, and hardware teams, and mentor other engineers on a small, multidisciplinary team.
Culture Biosciences | Sr Software Engineer - Hardware Automation | Hybrid ( South San Francisco , CA, USA) | $170,000 - $190,000
Culture’s mission is to make bioprocess development and scale-up as fast and easy as scaling software. Towards this aim, Culture’s offering enables biopharma, biotechnology, and synthetic biology companies to run their bioprocessing R&D in the cloud. Clients design, manage, and analyze bioprocess experiments in Culture’s Console web application. Culture’s offering enables customers to focus on designing and improving their process versus spending time and effort building out their own high-throughput process development laboratory. While customers remotely observe the process and analyze data, the experiments are executed in Culture’s cloud bioreactor facility in South San Francisco. The facility is enabled by Culture’s proprietary robotic 250mL and 5L single-use bioreactor technology and software systems.
We’re looking for a software developer to help us create robust automation tools and streamline the biomanufacturing R&D process, specifically focusing on the automation of the bioreactor systems. An ideal candidate has worked on application code, cloud and/or local infrastructure and automation.
In this position you'll be collaborating with mechanical engineers, embedded systems engineers, and other software engineers, so thriving in a cross-functional environment is a must.
You'll be responsible for integrating new hardware systems to the Culture's software backend. The ability and interest in designing user interfaces for those systems is also strongly desired.
I’m working as a data science as at a biotech company, but I have a chemical engineering degree.
I want to highlight how cool bioreactor process optimization is. There is so much complexity and coolness to the problem. For example, scaling up does not involve making all of the parameters bigger because of different scaling relationships.

In my (very limited) experience, small companies that separate out SRE and devops are a bad smell when it comes to type of work. It ends up being something like:
Devops: Someone who is oncall for fixing all pipelines and making sure everyone has access/credentials for various services (AWS, git, etc). Maybe if they have time they can start to teraform things.
SRE: Someone who is just oncall for everything and doesn't have time to improve things
On the other hand when a job listing is not specific but mentions SRE/Devops, they seem to be looking for someone who can build new systems to make things better, rather than just keeping the lights on.
FB is required by law to store all its credit card transactions that every singal FB ads account has for 6 years. (So are other US based companies that process credit cards)
3) IIRC most tape storage technolgies are closed source. FB has been heavily pushing their open compute project. Using BDs get them past a lot of licensing problems.
and LTO has way less licensing problems than Blu-ray and LTO-6 has a max of 2.5TB. LTO is also guaranteed to to read tapes from 2 generations earlier and write one generation earlier. Blu-ray has no such long term guarantee.
I find it interesting that Greece and Italy, both of whom are in a financial crisis have some of the lowest internet uses rates it the EU. I wonder what the correlation between the economic crisis and this is.
