Senior Software Engineer — Full Stack (Python, Vue.js)

Lucid Genomics is revolutionizing genomic insights through advanced artificial intelligence and cutting‑edge research. Combining AI technology with genomic science from the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Genetics and Charité, we aim to enable groundbreaking discoveries in personalized medicine. Our small team moves fast, ships real software, and works directly with scientists to turn complex pipelines into usable clinical products. You’ll work closely with our bioinformaticians and UI/UX designer to build robust, scalable tools powering next‑gen data analysis.

The Role

As our second dedicated Software Engineer, you will work directly with our Principal Engineer to own features from the UI down to the infrastructure. You’ll help us bridge the gap between complex bioinformatic pipelines and intuitive clinical interfaces. We’re looking for a hands‑on software engineer who’s comfortable owning the full stack – not just one layer.

What you’ll do

• Build and maintain backend services (Django + DRF, PostgreSQL, Elasticsearch)
• Develop intuitive UIs with Vue.js and Vuetify
• Contribute to our AWS‑based infrastructure and CI/CD processes
• Collaborate directly with scientists – translate complex needs into clean, maintainable code
• We encourage engineers to use AI‑assisted development tools to accelerate coding and code reviews.
