Job Title: Backend Software Engineer

Company Description: Newwavebiotech.com - Innovate UK-backed startup revolutionising bioprocess optimisation through computational modelling and AI.

Job Description:

Join a fast-paced team building the core algorithms that help sustainable biotech companies scale from lab to production. You will develop complex Python-based models to virtually test billions of bioprocesses, reducing R&D timelines and costs for alternative proteins. This is a high-impact, autonomous role at the intersection of software engineering and biochemical innovation.

• Collaborate closely with bioprocess engineers to translate complex physical dynamics into performant, scalable software services.
• Take full ownership of the feature lifecycle, from initial architectural design through to testing and cloud deployment.

The ideal candidate:

• 3+ years of experience building production-grade APIs and backend services in Python within cloud environments.
• Proven ability to manage complex analytical systems and a genuine interest in learning biochemical process modelling.
• Proactive, independent worker who thrives in early-stage environments and enjoys solving multi-disciplinary technical challenges.

We never post fake jobs

This isn't a trick. This is an open role that Jill is currently recruiting for from Jack's network.

Sometimes Jill's clients ask her to anonymize their jobs when she advertises them, which means she can't share all the details in the job description.

We appreciate this can make them look a bit suspect, but there isn't much we can do about it.

Give Jack a spin! You could land this role. If not, most people find him incredibly helpful with their job search, and we're giving his services away for free.
