Tech Lead Manager - Full Stack at Medraai

What We're Building: We have been quietly building the foundational layers of our Physical AI Scientist platform: - 🤖 Physical AI that can operate scientific instruments with human-level dexterity. - 🧪 Scientific AI that can analyze results, reason about next steps, and close the loop autonomously. This is an incredibly ambitious mission, but we believe that a team of ambitious people with high ownership can accomplish incredible things. The Team: - We're a team of passionate, mission-driven engineers from companies like Tesla, Amazon, SpaceX, and Neuralink. 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. In this role, you will: - Own the architecture and implementation of full-stack systems end-to-end — writing code daily and being in the critical path on the hardest problems, not delegating them. - Design and implement user experiences that spark joy in our customers. - Build kick-ass internal tools to allow us to build, support and scale our robotic fleet across multiple customer deployments. - Set the technical direction and quality bar for full-stack engineering, and make the hard tradeoff calls on design, scope, and prioritization. - Grow a small team of talented full-stack engineers — hiring, mentoring, and unblocking them as a force multiplier alongside your own technical work. Let's talk if you have: - Deep proficiency with Python and the ability to rapidly implement and iterate on ideas. - Experience building interactive front-ends with React or similar. - Experience with TypeScript. - Understanding of programming for the web (HTML, CSS, JS, HTTP, REST). - Significant backend system design and implementation experience. - A track record of being the engineer your team relies on to ship the hardest things. - 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. - Experience leading or mentoring software engineers — and a desire to keep doing that while remaining hands-on technically. Nice to have: - Experience with database technologies like Postgres and Redis. - Interest and experience in robotics, machine learning, or computer vision (bonus points for past experience working with hardware). This position is 100% in-person, you must be able to come on-site to our San Francisco office. We offer relocation benefits for applicants who need to relocate. What we offer: - An opportunity to change the way that scientific research happens - Fast-paced, creative, and collaborative work environment - Significant equity ownership - 401k - Medical insurance and dental insurance - Unlimited PTO - Weekday dinners Medra is an equal opportunity employer and prohibits discrimination and harassment of any type without regard to race, color, ancestry, national origin, religion or religious creed, mental or physical disability, medical condition, genetic information, sex (including pregnancy, childbirth, and related medical conditions), sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, age, marital status, military or veteran status, citizenship, or other characteristics protected by state, federal or local law or our other policies.
