What We're Building:
At Medra, our mission is to accelerate biology research by making lab automation accessible to every scientist.Our robotic system relieves scientists from repetitive wet lab tasks so they can focus on making groundbreaking scientific discoveries. By combining recent advances in robotics with state-of-the-art computer vision, Medra is developing technology that can perform protocols to the highest quality standards and be quickly deployed to new tasks.
The Team:
We’re a team of passionate, mission-driven engineers from companies like Tesla, Amazon, SpaceX, Neuralink, and Markforged. We’re collaborative and love moving fast, both with our product and on team trips skiing or go-karting!
As a team, we love nerding out about engineering and robotics — plus other topics like race cars or cooking. We like learning new things and then sharing our new knowledge with each other.
Our team is opinionated and straightforward. We don’t mind intense discussions about design tradeoffs. If we have arguments or miscommunication, we resolve conflicts quickly and empathetically.

Understanding of programming for the web (HTML, CSS, JS, HTTP, REST)
Backend system design and implementation experience
Willingness to wear many hats / a flexible attitude towards responsibilities and scope
Ability to move fast in an environment where things are sometimes loosely defined and you may have competing priorities or deadlines.
Passion for learning and expanding your skillset
2+ years of relevant engineering experience at tech and product-driven companies
Nice to have:
Experience with database technologies like Postgres and Redis
Experience with Typescript
Interest and experience in robotics, machine learning, or computer vision (bonus points for past experience working with hardware)
