Full Stack Engineer

About Apoha

At Apoha, we are building the Liquid Brain® — a programmable physical sensing platform creating rich, multidimensional fingerprints of materials to unlock faster and smarter material design. Our mission is to redefine how materials are sensed, understood, and designed across industries.

We're Apoha, the team behind the Liquid Brain®. We’re pioneering Sensory Intelligence by decoding molecular behaviour. The first step in our journey to giving machines the senses they never had? Building a Liquid Brain® platform capable of improving life‑saving drugs, by assessing the develop ability of antibodies earlier (those proteins our immune system makes to fight off bacteria and viruses).

We’re a group of scientists, engineers, and operators who’ve built and launched successful products at Goldman Sachs, Apple, Amazon, and published 50+ high‑impact research papers across biophysics, materials science, and thermodynamics—and been featured by Scientific American as one of “13 Discoveries That Could Change Everything.”

At Apoha, science isn’t just the foundation of our product—it’s woven into our everyday. Whether it’s a journal club over coffee, a spirited scientific discussion unraveling a complex problem, or a full‑company Quarter Demo Day that sparks wild new ideas, we’ve built a place where academic rigor meets startup energy.

Our team is small, flat, and talent‑dense across disciplines. We gravitate toward people who are collaborative, curious, and take pride in owning their work end‑to‑end. We enjoy spirited debate, thinking way beyond the state of the art, and building products that could change how we understand biological materials—forever. We believe in the power of on‑site collaboration, and our UK‑based team works together in our London office to foster creativity, speed, and connection.

Our investors include Redalpine, Acequia Capital, Seedcamp, Nucleus Capital, Plug and Play, Wilbe and others—and we’re just getting started.

• Competitive compensation + stock options
• Private health insurance
• Bi‑weekly team lunches + regular socials
• The rare chance to shape the DNA of a company
• Access to cutting‑edge science, a stellar team, and the chance to change the game

At Apoha, we are committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace. We strongly encourage applications from candidates of all backgrounds, including those from underrepresented groups in tech and science.

At Apoha, software engineering isn’t just about writing code — it’s about creating the foundation for a breakthrough technology to thrive. As an engineer here, you’ll help shape how the world’s top scientists and researchers interact with the Liquid Brain®. This is a rare opportunity to leave your fingerprint on a domain‑defining platform, working in a fast‑paced, intellectually rigorous, and mission‑driven environment.

We’re looking for a Full Stack Engineer who thrives on autonomy, ownership, and creative problem‑solving. This role is ideal for someone who wants to help define the architecture, culture, and best practices of a growing team — someone who’s just as excited by writing clean, scalable code as they are by collaborating with scientists to bring a fundamentally new technology to life.

• Own and evolve major parts of our software and hardware control stack — from architecture to implementation — ensuring reliability, performance, ease of use, and seamless operation of our Liquid Brain system.
• Design and build user interfaces and backend services (Next.js, Django, Postgres) that make interacting with complex hardware systems and multimodal data analysis tasks simple, intuitive, and robust.
• Work hands‑on with our hardware, using real devices to test, validate, and refine control workflows, automation logic, and system integrations.
• Root‑cause and resolve issues across the entire stack, from hardware drivers to APIs, task management, data analysis pipeline and more.
• Collaborate closely with hardware, scientific, and data teams to translate experimental workflows and engineering constraints into high‑quality product features.
• Help shape the engineering culture by pushing for clarity,…
