Full-Stack Software Engineer - AI Scientist & Blood Testing
New Yesterday
About Iollo
iollo is a Stanford-founded startup. We've built Quinn, an AI scientist that compresses drug discovery from years to days, and a blood testing platform analyzing 600+ biomarkers for medical practices nationwide. We need an engineer to own the infrastructure powering both products.
Scientific research typically takes months or years - limited by human bandwidth. The engineering challenge: build infrastructure that allows Quinn to access diverse scientific data formats, run complex analysis at scale, and operate securely inside pharma companies' own environments. You'll also own the blood testing platform infrastructure - from sample processing workflows to results delivery. You'll architect both systems while working directly with our Stanford scientists.
What Makes This Role Different
Build infrastructure for an AI that performs months of scientific analysis in hours
Your code will directly impact scientific discovery timelines
Process large biomedical datasets and turn them into actionable insights
Work on AI for scientific discovery - not just another chatbot application
Responsibilities
Own the complete technical architecture enabling our AI scientist to run secure analyses in enterprise environments
Own the complete implementation across frontend, backend, and infrastructure for our blood testing platform
Design event-driven systems that orchestrate complex scientific workflows
Build infrastructure that lets AI analyze biomedical data at the scale of 20+ person research teams
Implement LLM architectures for scientific analysis and discovery
Create data pipelines that handle biomedical data
Ensure HIPAA/SOC2/ISO27001-compliant deployments for pharma and biotech partners
Partner with Stanford scientists to translate research into production systems
Scale platforms that serve both startups and Fortune 500 companies
Take on additional technical challenges as we grow and evolve our products
Our current tech stack includes
Infrastructure: AWS (Lambda, ECS, Fargate, S3, App Runner, Cognito, Aurora PostgreSQL, SQS), deployed via AWS CDK/Terraform
Backend: Node.js, Nest.js, Python (for AI/ML services)
Frontend: React, TypeScript, Tailwind, deployed on Vercel
Databases: PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis
Architecture: Event-driven microservices, serverless functions
What You'll Need
3+ years shipping production code as a full-stack engineer with high ownership mentality
Strong AWS and event-driven architecture experience - you know how to build systems that scale
Expertise in Node.js/Nest.js and React - you can build performant applications
Python experience for AI/ML services
Track record of architecting systems from zero to production
Experience with LLM integration - you understand the potential and limitations of AI
Comfortable processing data at scale - including large biomedical files
Self-directed - you identify and solve problems independently
Infrastructure as code experience (Terraform/CDK)
Interest in using AI to accelerate scientific discovery
Nice to have
Experience with HIPAA compliance and healthcare data security
Familiarity with biomedical data formats and standards
Background with real-time data processing systems
Why join us
Help discover new science while bringing treatments to market faster through your work
Build for an AI that performs analysis equivalent to teams of scientists
Join at an ideal stage: established pharma customers with significant growth ahead
Work on complex technical challenges at the intersection of AI and biology
Shape the foundation of products already in use by partners
Direct collaboration with Stanford scientists
Competitive compensation with meaningful equity
Health Care Plan and hybrid work
If you're excited about this role but your experience doesn't align perfectly with every requirement, we still want to hear from you. We value diverse perspectives and are looking for engineers who are passionate about solving hard problems at the intersection of AI and science.
