Scientific Software Engineer - Full Stack

Arcadia Science is looking for a software engineer who thrives at the intersection of biology and technology. You'll build the web applications and data infrastructure that connect our wet-lab and computational scientists, turning complex research workflows into intuitive, end-to-end digital experiences.

As a member of the engineering team, you'll work across Arcadia's research and product surface: partnering with bench scientists to understand their workflows, shipping internal tools that make those workflows faster and more reliable, and contributing to data infrastructure that underpins how we explore and share results. Part of this role will be dedicated to the Foundry, Arcadia's division at the interface between R&D and commercial deployment, where you'll build the software layer for AutoOpenRaman , an open-source, automated Raman spectrometer we developed for biological research. This includes a scientific user interface purpose-built for bench scientists, and the data pipeline that takes raw spectra to interpretable results.

The right person for this role has built products from scratch in fast-moving environments, brings strong product instincts alongside deep technical skills, and is energized by working shoulder-to-shoulder with scientists to understand their problems firsthand. You don't need a biology degree, but you should be genuinely curious about science and eager to learn.

This is an onsite role at our Emeryville headquarters, where daily proximity to researchers, engineers, and cross-functional partners keeps the feedback loop tight and the work grounded in real scientific need.
