About Tetsuwan Scientific

We work with robots that run biology experiments. The robots are accurate, but programming them by hand takes so long that labs often skip it. We wrote a compiler and a visual editor a scientist can use. They describe their protocol in plain language, we parse it into a structured format, and compile that to optimized code. Our end goal is to build the infrastructure for autonomous science and a centralized cloud lab.

Job Description

We work with robots that run biology experiments and are building a compiler + visual editor so scientists can describe protocols in plain language and have them compiled into optimized code. The codebase is a single monorepo with an OCaml compiler, Python backend services, and a TypeScript/React editor. This role requires at least 3 years of experience. OCaml is not required, just a willingness to learn it. Nice-to-haves include experience with DSLs, compilers, life sciences or lab automation, an ML-family language, or LLM parsing and evals. The team currently consists of three software engineers, an automation engineer, the founders, and soon a designer.
