As a Software Engineer, you will develop software solutions for cryopreservation projects, build data pipelines, and collaborate across teams to enhance scientific capabilities.
Until is a moonshot company building a “pause button” for biology. Our near-term focus is organ-scale reversible cryopreservation: preserving donated organs at subzero temperatures without ice formation, then rewarming them uniformly for transplant. By solving this time-critical challenge, we’re laying the foundation for medical hibernation: pausing molecular motion to give patients a bridge to future cures.
To achieve our goal, we are assembling an interdisciplinary team to develop perfusion systems, cryoprotectant formulations, controlled-rate freezers, and vitrification and rewarming protocols for human tissue. We are also building out our medical hibernation team to tackle the challenges of whole-body cryopreservation, beginning with rodent models.
We envision a future where no transplantable organ is lost to logistics, and no terminal diagnosis is final because patients can safely wait for future medicine to arrive.
About the Role
As a Software Engineer at Until, you’ll build the computational and infrastructure backbone that enables our science to move faster. You’ll design and implement data pipelines, lab automation interfaces, and cloud-based systems that scale with our experiments. You will own projects end-to-end, collaborate across disciplines, and set a high bar for developing code that scales with the team.
About You
- Degree in Computer Science or a related field (Applied Mathematics, Statistics, Data Science).
- Demonstrated ability to write modular, maintainable, and performant code in Python.
- Strong understanding of computer science fundamentals, including algorithms, operating systems, and concurrency.
- Prior experience with backend development using frameworks such as Flask, FastAPI, or Django.
- Experience working with relational databases such as PostgreSQL, including schema design and query optimization.
- Experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP) and distributed systems.
- Proficient with developer tooling, including Linux command line, Git, and shell scripting.
- Ability to think from first principles and tackle complex, cross-disciplinary problems with other scientists and engineers.
- Track record of owning software projects end-to-end, from defining requirements to driving implementation and deployment.
Preferred Qualifications
- 3+ years of relevant professional experience, or a graduate degree.
- Understanding of cloud security best practices, including identity and access management, data encryption, and network security.
- Experience with Infrastructure as Code tools such as Terraform or Pulumi.
