MiLaboratories | Senior Software Engineer (Biologic Discovery) | Bilbao, Spain | ONSITE | VISA | RELOCATION

MiXCR is the standard for immune analysis, cited in thousands of papers. Platforma is the OS on top — bioinformatics as self-serve, interoperable "blocks" for biologic discovery.

5 of the top 10 pharma (Moderna, Pfizer, others) run discovery with Platforma today. Goal: 10 of 10 by year-end. Hiring 4–5 engineers in 90 days. Our tools are in the methods of approved cancer immunotherapies and COVID vaccines reaching millions. The next paper citing us could be the next drug.

We merged frontend, bioinformatics, and data into one team. AI killed the silo wall. Bioinformaticians who leaned into engineering and engineers who leaned into biology now ship at multiples.

WHAT YOU'D BUILD

- Discovery pipelines: raw sequences → pre-IND leads. Antibodies, biomarkers, workflows real scientists use.

- The SDK for comp scientists: TypeScript, Tengo (a Lua-like workflow DSL — yes, you'll learn it), Rust.

- The data layer: thousands of formats reduced to one. PFrames, Parquet, DataFusion, lazy columnar everything.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

- Strong TS in 100k-line monorepos (pnpm, Turbo). Polars > pandas. Node ≥22.

- Bioinformatics exposure or appetite to learn it month one. We can teach VDJ recombination; not curiosity.

- Tolerance for sparse docs and niche DSLs. "Fix the SDK, don't work around it."

OFFER

- €90–120k base, real ESOP, ARR-tied bonus — when we grow, you grow, in cash, this year.

- Bizkaia Special Impatriate Regime: ~15–20% effective tax. Beats London / Berlin / Amsterdam net.

- Visa, relocation, soft-landing. No HR, no take-homes. Direct line to engineering.

- Bilbao: ocean, mountains, Michelin, low cost of living, highest quality of life. Onsite — context-sharing needs same room.

Email: stanp@milaboratories.com (CEO). Subject "HN", include GitHub. I reply personally. Tell me about a scientific CLI you wrapped, a plugin SDK you built, or a Polars query that survived 50M rows.

Saildrone | Multiple Roles | Onsite/Hybrid (US Only) | SF Bay Area (Alameda) | Full-Time | https://www.saildrone.com/

Saildrone is the world's leading operator of uncrewed surface vehicles (USVs), providing persistent in situ data from the most challenging ocean environments on Earth. Our fleet, ranging from the 23-foot Explorer to the brand-new 170-foot Spectre, is revolutionizing how we understand and secure our oceans. We work with global navies to deliver maritime domain awareness, partner with governments to map the seafloor in high-resolution, and collaborate with scientists to track climate change and hurricane intensification in real-time.

Maybe you saw that we recently unveiled Spectre, a new class of high-speed USV designed for strike and anti-submarine warfare[1]. Or perhaps you read about our partnership with Meta, where we completed the first-of-its-kind autonomous deep-water cable survey[2]. You might have also seen our ongoing mission with NOAA to map 13,000 square miles of the Mariana Islands[3].

Whether we are hucking drones into Category 4 hurricanes or scaling up the production of the world’s largest autonomous wingsails, we are looking for people who want to build the future of maritime autonomy.

We're hiring for a breadth of different positions across our organization. In software, we're looking for folks in our Perception, Platform/Frontend, and Vehicle teams. Stacks vary, but we're looking primarily for backgrounds in C++ and/or JavaScript (Node, TypeScript, React). All software positions are hybrid roles based out of our HQ in Alameda, just a quick ferry ride across the Bay from San Francisco.

In addition to software, we are also actively hiring for roles in:

* Production & Manufacturing (Composite technicians, assembly, and electronics)

* Fleet Operations (Mission managers, vehicle pilots, etc.)

* Hardware Engineering (Mechanical, electrical, and systems)

You can see a list of open positions on our career page: https://www.saildrone.com/careers
