Your Impact at LILA

We are seeking a Senior Principal or Principal Software Engineer, Scientific System of Record to join our Scientific System of Record Team and help define and build the next-generation AI-driven scientific platform.

In this role, you will serve as a technical leader for systems that connect scientific intent, laboratory execution, data capture, and AI-driven analysis. You will shape the architecture of user interfaces, services, high-performance APIs, databases, and reliability-critical systems that integrate advanced AI frameworks with complex scientific analytics and laboratory workflows.

You’ll work closely with ML researchers, platform engineers, data engineers, product teams, and scientists to turn complex scientific processes into scalable, elegant software systems. These systems will need to support diverse workloads across structured SQL databases, data lakehouses, workflow engines, and lab execution environments.

This is an opportunity to set technical direction for a cutting-edge AI platform with real scientific impact. If you are passionate about building high-leverage systems, mentoring strong engineers, and solving ambiguous problems at the intersection of AI, software, and science, we would love to hear from you.
